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

They are hilarious 😂 though my 10 year old seems to agree with you and is complaining I'm not letting them sleep because I keep on snorting and bursting out laughing..

I find most of the 'classic' threads kind of unfunny. But the funniest thing I've ever read on the whole Internet was on mumsnet. Perhaps it was because I was delirious from late night breastfeeding but the holiday pushchair thread can't be beaten for me. And you only need to read the first three posts...

Definitely worth pushing through to at least the first dozen replies for 'is there an ecco in here?' Grin

Thanks for sharing that one, I didn't catch it the first time.

This is the one I came on to mention. No engagement from the OP, which usually annoys the hell out of me, but it’s what makes it so funny. Going to read it again, could do with a laugh today 😂

Does anybody remember the one where a woman was on holiday with her in laws and she was accused of being an attention seeker because she didn't order the special breakfast item like the rest of them.

Most people agreed that they sounded batshit but then it emerged she did other questionable things, such as they told her they wanted to leave early in the morning to go somewhere, which she'd agreed to, but for some reason she decided to have a leisurely shower, went to meet them downstairs for coffee with wet hair and when they asked if she was ready, she said no I've still got to blow dry my hair 😂

I don't know why that thread tickled me so much, the OP never came back after the tide of the thread turned against her!

I think I remember that one! I want to read it again now as I don't remember the full details of it.

Jesus in the Cabbage Van (I still remember this and chuckle to myself, whenever I get that message from Ocado telling me my driver’s name and which van they’ll be in!) 😆

Pollqueen · 24/03/2026 21:21

Sistine chapel was quite funny at the time. Have never got snapped and farted or why people thought it was so funny

What made this, and makes all others like it, so funny, is that the OP thinks what they are saying is completely normal, and despite being told by hundreds of people, in hundreds of ways, that it is not ‘typical’, they just don’t get it and carry on with the narrative as if it’s a normal occurence.

Hilarious. She replaced “I got so upset it worsened my anxiety”, with “I snapped and farted”. I’m on a mission to bring this into common usage.

TY78910 · 27/03/2026 12:18

Thank you for this thread because for the last couple of years I was convinced that someone snapped and farted at the Sistine chapel 😂😂😂😂😂😂 now I’ve uncovered they’re separate incidents and both are as ridiculous as they are funny

Mumtobabyhavoc · 27/03/2026 15:15

Although, nothing beats answering your own dead thread.

How did she come across it?
How could she not remember posting it?
😂

Where is she now? 🙂

MrsSchadenfreude · 27/03/2026 15:27

I was responsible for naming the Yoni massage man, Brian. It’s my only claim to fame.

Sidge · 27/03/2026 17:09

I’ve been on MN forever. It’s a lot less funny than it used to be and I think Penis Beaker was its downfall. Snapped and Farted wasn’t funny, nor was Screaming in the Sistine chapel IMO.

Hedge sex, Least illustrious point in my career and Fashion Expectation vs Reality were my favourites.

I remember Hedge Sex.

Expectation V Reality is an EPIC thread! Suzi Quatro's nan, fat match and Cypriot goat herder.

Taytoface · 27/03/2026 18:30

My favorite ever comment on MN was in response to a woman who thought it was entirely normal to have to get up and shower within minutes of having sex.

One poster responded
"For fuck sake woman, it's your husbands semen, not wheelie bin juice"

In my head this was delivered in a thick Glaswegian accent.

What about the fat ball one?

And the hunt for wild gooses?

The fat ball one will forever be my favourite, a sheer joy 🤣🤣

I love super soaker, spoony fucker, and the woman who "made eyes" at the champagne. 🤣

Was that the one where the OP and her DH had gatecrashed her in-laws’ dinner party and was pissed off her FIL didn’t offer her any champagne?

That's the one! 😂

MrsEmmelinePankhurst · 27/03/2026 20:00

I loved the hedge sex and fat balls threads.

And the badger one. The OP’s ex-H had taken the kids out for the day and fed them badger…. I can’t remember all
the circs but I think he might have been living in a tent and he randomly found a dead badger so he decided to put it to “good” use… rings a bell …. ???

Lemon Drizzle Bitch, although presumably totally made up, was glorious.

Guillemets · 27/03/2026 20:12

I think the Sistine chapel poster got a hard time. She probably had Stendhal Syndrome.
