Please could someone link these legends or tell what they were about? Thank you.

I laughed so hard but also felt so sorry for her.
Good on her for laughing about it later.

Edited

I remember thinking, how would you not notice?! 🙈

Neither were even remotely funny. Don't waste your time

Sistine Chapel isn't meant to be funny, is it? Just shockingly batshit!

To this day in our house we say "I'd better get the washing in; it'll get darked on."

Same here!

Who can forget Brian from Hull and his Yoni massage
Brian from Hull

I was thinking about that one, thank you!

'My Yoni says No(ni)' was a brilliant response.

If anyone can find the one from the guy whose neighbour's cat went batshit every time he stepped out his door please link it. It was one of the first I remember reading, or finding somewhere, and it had me in stitches.

Cutted-up pear, spiders darking on sheets, penis beaker, quiche, nest of vipers, Cod…the list goes on. Mostly to be found in Classics but generally funnier in the moment. To be fair, some were hilarious at the time (maybe the sleep deprivation helped) . Not really worth trawling unless you’re really really stuck for something to do!

Didn't the spiders just rub their willies on the laundry while it was being darked on?

Ladyzfactor · 23/03/2026 01:14

I'm pretty sure I think about the Sistine chapel screamer more than I think about several close family members of mine....

FantasyFoodhall · 23/03/2026 01:39

I liked that mad one about how evil dolphins are. And I’m sure I once read on here that someone’s DH thought that wasps made chutney, but have never found it again- did I dream it?

greglet · 23/03/2026 01:49

I’ve been around since the days of Bobble Plate. Joined early 2008!

I liked te one about the penguin at the zoo - was OP going on a date or something?

archieshepp · 23/03/2026 03:15

when I first started on here there was a huge thing about the ‘moldies’ something to do with longstanding mumsnetters going off to form their own more exclusive part of mumsnet (or something). It was crazy and people were genuinely really upset.

i only ventured into MN at the time to get some sleeping advice and def stayed for the tea 😉

archieshepp · 23/03/2026 03:17

just remembered the Gina Ford (although you weren’t allowed to mention her name) days! People were obsessed.

cordeliavorkosigan · 23/03/2026 03:32

Sex lube and a fish slice was very, very funny in the moment.
Pom bear, anyone? Hilarious
Love MN. Nowhere quite like it on all of the whole Internet. I guess it's not quite the same now but I think I'm here to stay just in case.

Inarightpickleandpreserve · 23/03/2026 03:58

Lemon drizzle cake was priceless

Oh wow, the Penis Beaker thread was the one that brought me here. It was featured on a few websites and possibly in a couple of newspapers, as it was a really funny thread. And now I realise that I have been here 13 years!

I know some people have been here since God was a boy, but I honestly thought that I had been here about 7 years. Where has the time gone?! Shock

Just came across that one! 🤣
(no pun intended 🙈)

AnAlpacaForChristmasPleaseSanta · 22/03/2026 21:52

I thought the Sistine chapel was a wind up at the time (I think I say so on the thread under a different UN) and still do.

I don't know how you can be on Mumsnet for any length of time without realising humanity is far more varied and weirder than you'd ever suspected!

Nofeckingway · 23/03/2026 05:45

Then there was the OP who wasn't invited to her friend's wedding but the bride and her family decided that it meant she was available to decorate the hall. It ended up in an extravaganza of Slyvianian Family theme ideas .
I think I have been here under various names for about 18 years. I think I now check in here more frequently than I do with some family .

PortSalutPlease · 23/03/2026 06:28

being taken up the oxo tower is my favourite thread of all time - it had me crying laughing. Also, auntie tantrums’ babysitting disaster.

JustJoinedRightNow · 23/03/2026 06:38

The joke one that PP referred to was the steps and some man's name and a post office. Can only remember that much!

The T Tex arms thread makes me laugh.

I was thinking about that one.

Particularly, "Sharron, is that you?".

OK so who else remembers :

Lemon Drizzle cake
MN haircut
MN scarf

And do I remember correctly we were all putting the dividers on supermarket conveyor belts the 'wrong way'.

And “Your minge!”

(I don’t remember fish slice and sex lube, though 🤔)

I know the "your minge" poster in RL. I went to school with her.
She was banned from here a few years ago for bullying. She is a really difficult character and really harsh on her kids and DP. But tells a funny story well.

PrincessHoneysuckle · 23/03/2026 06:51

I loved the birdy friend posts

PersephoneParlormaid · 23/03/2026 06:53

I always thought the penis beaker was one of those cup shaped masturbation things, a glass to wash your todger in is hilarious. I wonder if he needed a sherry glass or a pint glass.
