To find some troll threads enjoyable

There have been some quite hilarious and classical troll threads and I often find myself wishing that they don't get taken down. I can understand why they're taken down but sometimes it's nice to have a laugh

I agree especially since entertainment these days is more limited than usual.

Yes, I'm often devastated to go back and find it gone🥺

I agree! I'm usually really bad at spotting troll threads, but some are so farfetched that even I can tell. Its disappointing when there's a good juicy one and it gets disappeared! (I must need a life).

It's quite fun to play spot the troll by placemarking on the thread and seeing if it's still there when I come back!

I woke up this morning to look at the one about the Dad getting a DIY covid jab and was gutted to see it had gone. Not sure if it was a troll but I really wanted to know what happened

I'm useless at spotting them, possibly because some of the genuine threads are so off the wall

Batshittery · 14/01/2021 17:53

There are not very many that are hilarious, in my opinion. No need to worry, there are plenty of troll threads that survive.

I was enjoying the MIL who popped out of the ottoman in the night shouting obscenities. Brilliant! Then it was gone Sad

I know - that was the best MIL story for ages.
Mumsnet takes it itself too bloody seriously.

Sometimes they're very obvious eg improbable school scenarios where some teacher did something wrong. At least three of them gone recently. Not entertaining or well researched. There was a funny one from a woman claiming to be very wealthy, which was quite amusing. The toilet troll seems to have gone dormant.
