To ask for you tell me when you laughed so hard you cried?

Tell me when you laughed so hard you cried!

The more random the better. Following this old tweet: twitter.com/GraceSpelman/status/635983048622931968?s=19

The replies had me belly laughing.

One of my stories. My brother and I went to the pictures, no idea what the film was, but it was an MGM film.

I know this, because as the lights dimmed, the opening credits came up and the MGM lion roared. Without missing a beat, I whispered to my brother, "That lion's dead now."

He turned at me, looking confused then started silently shaking with laughter. Realising what I said, I whispered, "Oh god. I mean the big man with the gong!"

My brother - looking even more confused as to what I was on about - at this point, was nearly convulsing from trying to hold his laughter in, inside the quiet cinema. Then tears started rolling down his cheeks.

I was already in silent hysterics too, laughing at him and the fact that I couldn't laugh loudly as a film was playing. I was clutching my stomach, tears were streaming and I was breathless from trying to hold it in. I had to get up and run out of the auditorium. Got outside into the corridor, collapsed in a heap on the floor, cry-laughing, while people stared at me.

Took me ten minutes to compose myself, missed the start of the film, but I went back in. But every now and then one of us would start silently giggling again and would set the other off. Just both sat there shoulders shaking quietly.

Incidentally. When I said "That Lion's dead now!" what I meant was, the week before, the man who bangs the gong at the start of the Rank films had died in real life. Somehow in my head, I got muddled up when the lion came onto the screen. Hence my seemingly random comment.

Would love to hear yours.

When I completely scratched the car on the passenger side..
I got home and DH was stood at the door waiting to go to work. He just started laughing and then I couldn't stop. I was trying to explain what happened but it was too funny.
(Disclaimer, our car is only worth money when it has fuel in it)

A few times I've managed to laugh so much that not only are there tears but proper, full-on "the love of my life just dumped me" sobs. Somehow I can go from laughing to crying like there's been a tragedy in 5 seconds. DH found me once while I was reading a MN thread & he thought there was something wrong. It took me ages to calm down enough to explain that a funny thing had made me sad!

My favourite memory that still makes me giggle was the time DH thought I was upstairs but I was hiding behind the living room door. He'd left our DS, probably less than 18m at the time, in the room with a baby gate across the door. He was v surprised when the child who could only just reach the top of the gate emerged from the room. He initially blamed himself "Uh oh, DS, did silly Daddy forget to lock the gate properly?" but by the fourth time I'd snuck out from behind the door, unlocked the gate & encouraged DS to go find Daddy, I was doubled up behind the door laughing so much that when DH returned DS to the room & called upstairs to see if I could come keep an eye on him, I fell over, crashed into the door & collapsed on the floor at DH's feet. Poor DS had no idea what was going on & just said "Uh oh!" at my fall!

Old youtube clips of Ryan Stiles and Colin Mocherie from Whose line is it Anyway absolutely has me wheezing and crying with laughter.

Nearly everyday with my partner but most of them would be lost in translation.

The one that gets me is one evening there was a big spider on the ceiling of our bedroom. I knew I wouldn't sleep knowing it was there. Dp gallantly said he would remove it. Stood on the corner of the bed. He leapt up in the style of superman flying through the air and just fell on the floor in the same pose. Spider remain unmoved. Dp had carpet burns. I didn't sleep that night from howling with laughter. Makes me laugh every time I think of it.

Priceless moments when you lose it crying with laughter - I'm fortunate that i have many of those moments with my best friend and cousin. We sometimes only need to say do you remember the chocolate/turtle/new York incident and we are off.

I went to a gig a few years ago and was trying to take a selfie with my friend but for some reason the phone kept switching into normal forward facing mode. I kept taking pics of the bloke in front’s bald head. I’m really stubborn and refuse to give up so tried a few times but same thing happened. When I got home I realised that the camera had also done that thing where it takes a million pics when you press it once. So people were asking me to show them pics of gig and I pulled up 10 million of a random bloke’s bald head!

Korean expert dad also made me nearly wet myself:

I went bowling with my mum and my kids years ago. I was on medication that caused nauseating wind. It was nice and noisy in there so I let one go. It was a silent one but went on for ages, I could almost feel myself deflating.
A few seconds later my mum suddenly started choking on her drink, my kids slammed their hands into their faces and ran off gagging. The tears of laughter were literally rolling down my face as my mum, with her face all screwed up started blaming the group of blokes next to us to which one replied “it fucking stinks in here but it’s coming from your direction love” and they started throwing insults at each other. My mum muttered “smelly bastards” under her breath as she walked off in disgust. I actually couldn’t breathe for laughing.

Family cat had the hiccups, she was normally quite dignified. My mother and I were crying with laughter. Cat stalked out of the room.

When I was a student we had a speaker who came to talk to our cohort about locked in syndrome and comas, etc.

I was whispering to a friend about the guy who wrote an entire book when he had locked in syndrome by blinking the alphabet. Told my friend that he'd since died and she asked what did he die from. "Repetitive strain injury" I said. Then we both silently collapsed, shaking with laughter with tears streaming down our face.

Hahaha me and DH laugh to this extent a fair few times a week. We just find each other hilarious, examples would sound like nothing if I wrote them out here 😄 Since kids I often have to wail ‘I’m going to wee!!!’ Haha.

Also last night watching best of Bob Mortimer on Would I Lie To You was funny, extra funny because DH was with me.

My friend and I made our own dictionary of hilarious words in secondary school. We just sat in lessons pissing ourselves over funny sounding words. We were so charming and such good students (or the teachers were just that exasperated) that the teachers just let us get on with it 😄

Old youtube clips of Ryan Stiles and Colin Mocherie from Whose line is it Anyway absolutely has me wheezing and crying with laughter yes yes yes we’ve just finished re watching all of that 😁

I had to do a mandatory training session at work once. Beforehand, I was getting a coffee from the flask and talking to a colleague, and he was expressing his displeasure at having to do this training, as it was on something pretty basic that we all did all the time, and it would be like "teaching your grandmother to suck cocks". I said "Don't you mean eggs?", he said "Well, yeah, but who sucks eggs?" We had a bit of a giggle about it, and went off to sit down.

The trainer then came in and introduced himself, and literally the first thing he said after the preliminaries was "Now, I know you're probably all sitting there thinking this is going to be like teaching your grandmother to suck eggs..."

My fatal error at that point was making eye contact with my colleague. I've never laughed so hard or uncontrollably in my life - my sides were heaving and I was properly crying and gasping for breath. The poor trainer was utterly baffled! In the end, I had to go outside and give myself a talking to.

I do it all the time. Anyone can set me off. I read Bill Bryson’s Notes From Down Under on holiday in Kefalonia and had to find a deckchair away from everyone because I was laughing so hard I had tears. In case you need to know the scenes where he’s boogie boarding and the walk round Sydney suburbs were the culprits.

Two spring to mind.

We were playing a game with sil it was name an animal beginning with whichever letter and going through the alphabet. Sil got j...’giraffe!’ She screamed really quickly as she thought she was really clever. Cue me and dh burst into laughter, made worse by her confused look, then the penny dropped.

Years ago when I used to go clubbing with my friends we’d go to a club that was on several floors. One night we’d decided to go to the basement. Trying to look cool, my best friend was following me behind chatting away. The next second she went quiet and I turned around and couldn’t see her (I’m 6’ in heels, bf is just over 5’). She’d lost her balance and ended up on her knees on the floor. She was too busy roaring with laughter at my face of me losing her and finally found her in hysterics on the floor. I joined her on the floor in solidarity.

I've had a few, allways sober strangely.

One involved me and a uni mate and her husband going to the house of a friend of theirs and phoning him and knocking on the door.

So knock on the door, go back to the car, as we see him behind the door phone him, watch him get to the landline, hang up, call his mobile and knock on the door.

I have no idea why this was so funny but we all had tears on out cheeks. I was in my 30s ffs.

The same uni friend, we went in to get the results of a resit. We had a message from the tutor saying he had a car crash and would be with us ASAP.

So we logged onto computers and messed around.

Now the uni had a staff message board, but you could get on to it with a student id.

We found ourselves looking at postings from various lecturers about a new building.

One lecturer seemed really concerned that the new building didn't have many book shelves as apparently these were essential if you were being interviewed for TV.

I have no idea why we found this hilarious. The tutor walked in to two completely corpsing students and we couldn't stop laughing enough to explain why.

lastone was my old cat, he would sulk, he would sit in front of you with his back turned.

There was once a group of us and I can't remember why he was sulking but he spent 10 mins finding the one place in the room he had is back to all of us.

Another time I brought him back from the vet, he got out of his carrier walking backwards because he was sulking at me.

My friend picked him up and turned him so he was facing me, nope the cat wasn't going to look at me sohe turned his head.

My friend then turned the cat's head towards me, he only rolled his eyes to the side. I'd been gigglling since my friend picked him up, but I just lost it at that point.

I was accompanying a pest controller in a very old building with a suspected cockroach problem.

We went into a tiny room, with a really low ceiling made from polystyrene tiles. There was a trapdoor in the wall which gave access to the cavity wall, and he’d placed his traps inside said cavity.

He reached in to get the trap, and the biggest fecking cockroach you’ve ever seen shot out, and went straight up his sleeve. He let out the highest pitched scream ever, and leapt into the air, hitting the ceiling and leaving a perfectly round hole in the tiles. He was screaming get it off me, while frantically scrabbling to remove his shirt while I was bent double trying desperately not to wet myself.

I still see him now, and any mention of roaches sets me off again.

just now, after rising hysteria after reading through all these....
The kitchen radio is still on and Gardener's Question Time has been on..
So, at2.30 or so, I think someone asked the question "I've got a chlamydia someone gave me two years ago..."
??? Finished me of, that did!

I once was a bit broke at a party so bought myself a drink in the pub,. I nursed it all night, friends kept shouted what did I want as the went to the bar, I kept saying just a glass of water,. Was getting funny questioning looks all night.

As we are about to leave the party boy asks was I expecting ... I said no... It was a free bar.....

@Aebj

Mop Skills 😂

@alltoomuchrightnow That clips hilarious.

I was crying laughing at this video and then completely slayed by the comments. (The patient made a full recovery, so laugh freely!)

Annoying just posted this and it's not showing, try again.

One night we went to watch a comedian. It was an open mic night, with a no heckling rule.

The comedian was from Banbury and to break the ice, he asked if anyone knew what Banbury was famous for.

Quick as a flash I yelled out "COCK!"

The whole audience burst out laughing and the comedian stood there speechless for an uncomfortable amount of time. My DP then nudged me and asked what I knew about cock in Banbury.

I was in total hysterics. Could barely squeak a reply! I didn't mean to heckle. When he said Banbury, I thought of the rhyme "Ride a cock horse to Banbury Cross.. "

My mouth engaged, before my brain caught up and "COCK!" was the result. 😱🤦🏼‍♀️😂

I'm not seeing a giraffe in that clip... isn't it a digger or something? It's moving far too smoothly to be a running animal isn't it?? Sorry, not the point of the thread... as you were!

Also when I first met my DP he knew I was petrified of spiders.

One night, maybe 2 months after we met, we are sat at my house and he pointed towards me and said, "Babe. Don't move, there's a spider... "

Before he could finish the sentence, I lept off the sofa, squealing, screaming, ripping my top off and throwing to the ground.

My DP fell about crying, clutching his chest, sliding off the sofa hysterical. While I'm stood there topless in the breeze -bra retired for the day- and he's breathlessly pointing towards the TV, where a small spider was stood on the floor, probably enjoying the striptease.

DP was only telling me to be still, so he could go and catch it without my dogs noticing.
