Just that really. Either a totally off topic question, a hilarious response or just something that made you laugh.

For me it was someone who had posted about her office chair frequently appearing damp and smelling of pee and someone just responded “woah we’re halfway there”.

A poster asked where is the worst place you have ever farted and someone replied

‘Kidderminster.’

I've just wet myself a little bit, reading that Grin

@Toomuchsky thank you! Brilliant thread

The thread that still makes me weep with laughter, even 15 years on is the OXO tower thread. The OP was going to be taken up the OXO tower by her husband as a treat, and was wondering what to wear. There were many, many gems on that thread but the one that stands out was

a diamanté butt plug and a pained expression

Carolduckingbaskin · 03/05/2020 20:39

So many great examples - the humour of Mumsnet is definitely what I need to see at the moment!

Too many to remember but my favourites are:

From the Sistine Chapel thread "How did you deal with Dobby dying?"

And

"If you were my partner I'd limit our outings to Arndale centres and other heart-deadening places with Michael Buble on the headphones in case you caught a strain of La Traviata"

On a thread about the Mumsnet chicken "These threads always go the same way. There'll be half the posters who are still eating a chicken they cooked on Millennium Eve and the other half will be astounded that anyone can get one decent meal from a chicken never mind 37.

Then we'll get on to portion size and anyone who eats more than a five millimetre shred of chicken with a roast will be implied to be a greedy pig and they should stuff themselves stupid with sprouts instead of gorging on delicious meat. 'One slice per plate then bury the rest in the garden in a burlap sack so no-one can have seconds!'"

On the Brain Farts thread
"Also when I worked in a call centre I asked
"Is that q for cucumber?"
It wasn't"

Bloody hell -the OXO thread was 15 years ago??

Where has the time gone?

Miss those days!

FenellaMaxwell · 03/05/2020 20:43

@AmelieTaylor I just looked it up, and it was 12 years!

3luckystars · 03/05/2020 20:44

Oh my God that Dentinox thread is absolute gold. Thanks so much.

TrueFriendsStabYouInTheFront · 03/05/2020 20:45

A poster once said she was stood in the mirror flopping her belly around in time to the pop master quiz music. Had me howling for ages!

MsTSwift · 03/05/2020 20:47

A poster who had a standing joke with her dh that he ran bare chested through the kitchen bearing his chest and doing a Tarzan howl. She did it back topless chest bearing and all to find her dh and their horrified builder sitting at the kitchen table going over some drawings. I proper laughed At that

MsTSwift · 03/05/2020 20:48

Beating not bearing

Fedhimtotigers · 03/05/2020 20:48

PicsinRed just posted

Christ on a woolly mammoth.

And that has given me a little chuckle. It's one I hope to use soon.

Does anyone remember a thread years ago featuring handmini Wherein the OP had made a first visit to a mother & baby group at the library. They all sat round in a circle, on a chair not the floor. She went up to an empty chair and sat down on it; the woman in the next chair didn’t like this and proceeded to give her dirty looks, tut, etc.
OP started the thread to ask whether she’d broken some kind of baby group etiquette. The replies were nearly all nursery rhyme style and were hilarious.
Seem to remember a ‘Wind the Bobbin Up’ with line “Point to the ceiling ...floor ... cunt next to you” in it or some such.

stayathomer · 03/05/2020 20:54

I keep randomly laughing here!! Snap and fart was my first time ever randomly breaking into giggles at weirdo times on MN.

Frankiefree · 03/05/2020 20:56

A thread from yesterday when op said that she throws away all her bedding every 4 months .... because they end up with sweat, urine, blood, bodily fluids, vomit, dead dust mites and their faeces soaking in and building up inside of them.

And the reply was -

WTF is going on in your house for your bedding to end up in that state after 4 months?

Made me laugh anyway !

DamnYankee · 03/05/2020 20:58

This classic thread made me cry with laughter. It's about meaningto say one thing and something completely warped coming out.

OMG that Hugo thread. Grin Am lying down & have hiccups now I’ve laughed so hard.

RevolutionofourTime · 03/05/2020 21:07

There was a Xmas thread where one poster had made red cabbage as a side dish for her Xmas meal (along various other sides).

Her MIL stared at the red cabbage with disapproval for a while, then broke her silence to say ‘I had my first period at 10’.

ClementineTangerine · 03/05/2020 21:26

@GreenTeaMug oh god I just read that supersoaker thread and it made me SO ANGRY

She said "supersoaker" in every single one of her posts, usually more than once! Was it some old PR stunt by supersoaker or something??? Grin

ClementineTangerine · 03/05/2020 21:36

Has anyone got a link to the PFB thread?
