To ask- What’s the funniest response you’ve seen to a post on Mumsnet?

[Carolduckingbaskin]

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”.

Pawsforawhile glad you liked it

The one where someone asked how people knew their OH was cheating, and someone responded saying that their DH started wearing very youthful clothes despite looking like a 'fucking planet on toothpicks'

Omg I am snort laughing. I remember one a while ago where someone asked what they should teach their young daughter to call her vagina/labia etc and after a few scientific replies, someone wrote ‘cunt’ and I spat my brew everywhere

The Expectations vs Reality thread was hilarious, my favourite one was someone who had their hair cut short and dyed red and she said she looked like a fat match.

I have learnt the expression 'Trunky want a bun?' From the nosey trampoline neighbours thread.
Was saying it to myself in the car today.... want to use it in real life.

The thread that sticks in my mind has a poster who finds her mum standing stock still in the middle of M&S, looking like she was having a stroke. It turned out that if the mum moved she would poo.

I have a law degree that I don't use so I know the fundamentals about English law. One poster said that you can be arrested for slander. You can't. It's a civil matter. She claimed she had a law degree too. Tongue In cheek I asked for a source and she posted Daily Mail links about civil cases for slander 🤦🏼‍♀️ It's a bit of a boring one but it really made me laugh that if you're going to lie about having a law degree then at least google the facts about what you're trying to argue.

Have just come across this thread and I'm howling.

Oh and the fairly recent one where a poster moaned about her husband not washing her clothes on the right setting and more than one poster actually suggested that it's a sign he's having an affair 😂😂😂

I have been howling all evening at these - my family thinks I’m deranged. I’ve been on here years but missed out on ‘snapped and farted’ and the ‘Hugo’ thread - my new favourites.

I know that Penis Beaker was all made up but I still love it for the responses.

Thanks for a much-needed laugh everyone - are you oh glue?

This thread is the gift that keeps on giving.

Screaming in the Sistine Chapel was top notch. One of my all time favourites

Your minge
T-rexxing in the supermarket
And one no one else ever remembers.

Op was pregnant with DC1 and OH came home after an unaccustomed night out, had an accident and drunkenly smeared shit about the place whilst clumsily trying to clean up.
A significant subsection of the responses had this down as a clever ploy to put her in her place before the baby arrived.
‘He’s marking his place, dominating you with his body output. If you don’t leave now, I doubt you and your child will ever get away.’
Stayed with me.

The lady with her PFB who seriously worried that it would be unfair on her friend (who had a similar aged baby) to meet up because it might upset the friend that her baby was not anywhere near as beautiful as the OPs baby.

“Looking back on the photos, my son looked like a cheerful potato” 😂😂😂

Yes @LaurieMarlow! Thank you, that's the one Maui! I should go & have a reread.... I recall being both & at the same time

OP and her DH we’re walking through town with their new baby boy, bump in to a lady who starts cooing over the baby and says “what’s his name?” OP has a brain fart and totally forgets her DS’s name and instead just says “Richard”. Then her DH looks up at her and says “Richard?!!!” She told it much better than that but I still catch myself laughing at it every so often even now. Thanks for the reminder, brilliant thread.

@Chickoletta
Penis Beaker was made up?! :(
I followed the entire thing live, it was what made me sign up for a MN account.

Someone had visited the zoo and was upset that there were no signs warning that the monkeys may be playing with their willies? 🤣

I always remember the one where it was a competitive insults thread and someone posted

Your cat looks like a toilet brush with stick on googly eyes

It was so beautifully childish

Does no one remember the sinister Easter Bonnet ? Not the comments but the chicks expressions had me absolutely weeping

@Osquito - me too! PPs here seem adamant that it was made up though.

@plominoagain The sinister Easter Bonnet was one of the funniest things I’ve ever seen/read. Came across it at work and nearly exploded trying not to laugh out loud. My favourite post about it said that you could tell that one of the chicks was thinking “I don’t have to outrun the fox, I just have to outrun the other chick ...”

@elQuintoConyo - I remember that “donkey’s plonker” as you so beautifully put it!! Think the woman was someone who’d been an IT expert for about 40 years and was thanking him so much for coming on and offering his advice, as up to now she’d just been bashing the keyboard with her tits and hoping for the best.

My favourite response ever (leaving aside Angela Hernandez as wasn’t she the OP?) was on the same thread:

“I had a friend who after a heavy night in icu was driving home in uniform and spotted a badly parked car and a man face down on the round about. She leapt out of her car, flipped him over and put her head down to see if he was breathing, finger on his pulse. She breathlessly asked if he was all right? He said "Yes, I am just reading the water meter!"

She flipped him back, leapt in her car and drove off at great speed.”
