Am feeling really meh at the moment and would love to hear what’s made you chuckle.

Brooklyn 99

JustFedUpOfThis · 05/05/2021 17:49

Derry Girls

(And second Brooklyn 99)

MostIneptThatEverStepped · 05/05/2021 17:49

Taskmaster and a Come Dine with Me. I know you probably don't only want tv shows but that's what comes to mind 😄

Chachachachachachachachanges · 05/05/2021 17:50

Have just started on Brooklyn 99 this week actually!

Not sure if you mean generally or tv programme based on the answers above but mine was my puppy dreaming yesterday and making nothing short of cartoon like noises with her lip sort of rippling.
I'm struggling with depression and it was the first proper laugh I have had for a while.

There was a thing on TikTok where cats were jumping on toddlers. Sounds cruel I know, but I was laughing so much I was nearly sick 🤣🤣
I waste far too much if my life on TikTok.

We went for a walk today. DP slipped on some wet grass and when he hit the floor, a little fart escaped.

Chachachachachachachachanges · 05/05/2021 17:52

@SoapyChoc I did mean anything - it just cheers me up. My dog makes me smile every day - I love watching them dreaming.

Ever watched Phoenix nights?
There’s a psychic medium called Clinton Baptiste on it, Clinton Baptiste has a podcast...absolutely bloody brilliant.
Absolutely laughing my head off driving along, by myself howling like a loon!

Pinching a chocolate from a box at work and trying to put it in my mouth quickly then realising I had my mask on.

Large parts of TikTok. The algorithm has clearly decided I like funny videos of cars and dogs. It's correct.

Shannith · 05/05/2021 17:56

Cats not cars.

And horses.

I knocked some leggings on to the floor while shopping and they fell off the hanger (one of those clip ones). I picked up the hanger to hang them back up and one of the clips came off. Then I tried to put the clip back on the hanger and the clip broke Grin I gave up at that point!

It was funnier in real life than on here. I was belly laughing for about 5 minutes.

No way!!! I'm away to subscribe to this now lol!

I've been loving Taskmaster and Snackmaster just now, along with The Office, Schitts Creek, Brooklyn 99.

For films, I love Hot Fuzz, Spy and The Other Guys.

My absolute, guaranteed, crying with laughter programme is Touch of Cloth. I love crime procedurals and this hits every single cliche of them perfectly!

ImInStealthMode · 05/05/2021 17:57

The 'people selling mirrors' Twitter feed makes me howl, likewise the tiktok of the cat retching at broccoli.

None social media based, being in a different room to DP and using Alexa on my phone to switch the lights on and off in the room he's in. I do it often.

Apparently I am 5 years old Smile

Lollypop4 · 05/05/2021 17:57

My 5yr old DS cut his knee earlier...He ran upstairs and came down with a sanitary towel and declared' This plaster will cover it'

I call the new Reels button on Instagram 'The puppy button'. Their algorithm has got me all figured out Blush

When I found out someone has pet duck called Quacky Chan.

Flappityflippers1 · 05/05/2021 17:58

My cat in next doors garden (it’s empty and being renovated) the garden has no grass, just mud. Looked out before to see my cat sat with his back legs in the air, dragging his arse along the garden like it was the most normal thing in the world 😂😂

(He doesn’t have worms or anything else, been to vets to check this before, it’s just something he randomly does!)

LemonDrizzles · 05/05/2021 17:58

birds of prey, I watched it last night

RozHuntleysStump · 05/05/2021 17:59

My cat jumping from the sofa to the coffee table and sliding right down the end and off it. I thought I was going to die laughing.

Chachachachachachachachanges · 05/05/2021 17:59

@mrstea301 I’ve been trying to find where to watch a touch of cloth for ages... is it streaming anywhere?

This is Going to Hurt: Secret Diaries of a Junior Doctor by Adam Kay.

Also made me wince a fair bit too, though!

That is amazing
mrstea301 · 05/05/2021 18:02

I think the last time we watched it, it was on sky, so you might be able to find it on there?

I bet the dvds are pretty cheap now to be fair!
