What are the stupid things that make you laugh?

Armin_Tamzarian · 2009-03-15 23:23:35

I'm not talking about David Brent dancing or the acting in Fair City. I'm looking for those daft, random things that for some strange reason set you off laughing. Today I broke down when I came across the name of eBay's latest competitor. SWOOPO - it's just so damn lame. Nobody else on the planet will probably find this…

still laughing at it.

So what daft things have set you off?

It's also an anagram of sow poo. This thread had me in tears (http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2055513660).

When someone falls. old or young. it doesn't matter. and especially if someone is on their own and they are in a public place like a shop, or on the luas. gas.

Considering the economics involved, I find the people that would consider bidding on SWOOPO hilarious.;) SWOOPO is a mercenary operation. The idea is nothing short of genius.

Apologies for being so graphic, but I discovered today that farting in the shower while water is running down your crack is hilarious.

If someone farts I WILL laugh without fail. (Or maybe that is fail..)
Yesterday my mam was giving me a big serious talk about the mess of my room, mid conversation I sneezed and snotted myself. Laughed uncontrollably for about 10 minutes. She was unimpressed.

Kids falling in supermarkets.
Brendan O'Connor giving expert opinion on the economy.
Funny stuff written on the walls of the jacks.
Only being able to carry 100ml bottles of toiletries through security at the airport, and then being able to purchase things in duty free that are highy flammable.
People who find Pete Doherty remotely talented.

Not so much people falling but i would get a giggle out of seeing peoples reactions that are nearby the poor victim - the reactions of people can be priceless at times. At the time it could be so serious that you can't help yourself giggling but you have to try so hard to hide it too!

People tripping on steps and then checking if anyone was looking, it is funnier than the actual fall (done it heaps of times myself, you can only laugh).

And bottles that can easily be smashed producing a handy knife. The whole thing is a sham
