Me… Dh’s dad arriving at the holiday rental when it was dark, which had its own swimming pool. Us switching the lights on and coming out to him only to hear a splash and he’d fallen into the pool, suitcase and all! I still laugh a lot thinking about it years later.

https://www.tiktok.com/@priecisrite/video/7079471729936026886 - couple of giggly young lads trying to use a crowbar to remove a sticky toy from the ceiling. It looks like it's going to work... then doesn't and they dissolve into helpless wheezing laughter.

The video's much gentler than the sweary title suggests.

Hearing that Bolton Wanderers, the team my DH supports, are re-naming their stadium The Tough Sheet Stadium. My DH's face when I told him and it still makes me giggle now.

Why on earth are they doing that? 😂

Just saw a news report about Sam Smith getting upset and emotional during his first concert on his new wold tour.

The first comment on the letter's page was that he needed to them up.

I really tickled me for some reason.

A thread on here a while ago about embarrassing moments.
A lady went to a hospital appointment and was very nervous. The consultant put her at ease by joking around and soon there was a lot of banter between them.
He then said to her 'Make a face ' and then turned away.
She pulled her most craziest face and when he turned back, he stuttered at her saying 'What are you doing?!' and she replied with 'Making a face like you said!'
He then roars with laughter and said 'I said, make a FIST so your bloods can be taken!'
Apparently he was laughing so much another doctor had to come in and take over!
Made me weep with laughter

Im crying at this 🤣

At a BBQ in my twenties one of our friends decided to go all caveman and crush a Redbull can on his forehead. It left a deep cut in a pointy arrow shape. His well-to-do mother picked him up later and asked what happened. He said a pigeon flew into him beak-first.

She completely bought it and was asking whether it was dazed, if they both fell to the floor etc. Picturing everyone's laugh-stifle faces still gets me.

Oh this is amazing. I'm cracked up at this.

Was walking with a friend past an outdoor football pitch that had a high fence all around it. Ball gets kicked over and lands just next to us so my friend helpfully kicked it back. Only he completely mis-kicked it and it went flying into a nearby tree and got stuck.

Friend was in a hurry and had to dash off, he just waved and ran away, leaving the poor kids in disbelief and their ball totally stuck.

The zoom call that was shared during covid of the man who had the cat filter on 🤣

My late dad, watching the Festival of Rememberance and misheard the announcer when they said Katherine Jenkins was appearing.
He spent ages arguing with us that it was 'Captain' Jenkins as she must be a serving member of the forces. My mum and I were laughing so much as he got more and more angry with us.

Peter Kay, spend ages watching old clips of him and crying with laughter.

@ChimpyChops

Car share always has me in stitches

Years ago I was in Woolworths standing in the queue when a woman in front of me leaned on those ribbon/divider things you have to separate the queue thinking it was solid and would take her weight but obviously it wasn’t but she fell backwards taking a display stand with her. All the staff and other customers ran over to help but I had to leave because I couldn’t contain my laughter, it was like a comedy fall.

My argumentative mum, nearly a pensioner, had a rash for a while, so she went to the chemist and asked the young woman for some amphetamines.

'We don't sell amphetamines,' said the chemist.

'Yes, you do.' replied my mum.

'I can assure you madam, we definitely don't.' she said again.

'You do.' mum argued indignantly. 'You've sold them to my friends. You've sold them to my daughter. She got some from you last week.' mum insisted.

The 'yes you do/ no you don't carried on for some time, with the chemist (no doubt perplexed) asking my mum what her symptoms were and if she knew indeed what amphetamines are?

The poor woman eventually worked out that she meant antihistamines. 😂

I was reading a thread about ticket scammers and touts on my favourite band's fan group on FB. Someone chimed in with "I even saw someone trying to sell J (the lead singer) a ticket to a C (his own band) gig when he arrived at the venue." Cracked me up imagining his face at the time. 😅

Mine is really daft. But I honestly hasn't laughed so much in ages. A few years ago, me and my brother went to the the pictures.

Earlier that month, the big bloke that bangs the gong at the start of the Rank films had died and I was thinking about it as the lights dimmed.

The film then started and it was an MGM one, at that moment I randomly blurted, "That lion is dead now." and my brother literally spat out his popcorn, everyone looked around and my brother was sat there silently shaking with real tears STREAMING down his face. Which just absolutely got me, I started to laugh, but quietly too as the film had started. But it was impossible to hold in.

In the end I had to run up the aisle and out the door to let the laugher out, but my legs wouldn't work properly, I was almost on the floor as I ran. I stumbled into the foyer, and my legs gave way, I was on the floor crying my eyes out laughing and my clutching my stomach which was aching. God knows what I looked like to others.

I ended up going into the loos, the splash cold water on my face until I composed myself, went back in and all through the film, we were just silently laughing again about the deceased lion. 😂

Another one. When I was 20, I went to Cardiff with a new friend to see a band we loved.

On the day we arrived, we visited Cardiff castle and while there visited the tea room. The room was very quiet, so much so you could hear a pin drop, even with other customers being there.

My friend was chatting away to me in a lower tone than usual, when I leant in and whispered, "Can you excuse me a moment?" I got up, stepped outside the tea room doors, closed the door and let a fart out I'd been holding in.

I came back in and my friend asked what's up. I explained I needed a fart, and with that, she dissolved. She couldn't breathe, nor get her words out, I was sat there perplexed, not seeing what was so funny, I thought I was just being polite.

We ended up having to pay the bill and leave as she was in a state of hysteria. We went outside and she finally got her breath back, and said that the way I'd interrupted her and then quickly got up and left the room had confused her, but the fact that I'd stood behind the glass door looking blankly back into the tea room with no expression on my face for the 30 seconds I was out there had immediately become hilarious when she found out I'd gone to fart, as my face didn't register the effort or give away what I was doing.

I guess you had to be there. 😅

A thread I read on here about a woman who got cat called so put her shopping down and shouted Willy Willy Willy

This 12 second video had me crying the other week. I kept rewatching it until I couldn't breathe.

@IchWill - I have been having the most awful day, but 'That lion is dead now' has given me a proper laugh!! Thank you! I also know the Cardiff Castle cafe well so I can just picture you standing outside the door 😂

Not the most high-brow humour, I'll admit, but today I belly laughed at a typo in an email about accessing the company's "sharted drive" (shared drive).

I've been laughing about it all day Grin
