    I find any funeral is a bad place which I usually get a fit of the giggles,generally as my mum points out the grave dodgers surrounding us.

    I've done the laughing while at a burial, which is something I still get infintely embarrassed about. It wasn't my fault, my uncle said something that I can't quite remember but it had me in fits of laughter.

    For some strange reason when my mother used take me to mass,I would always laugh through the communion - I would be in fits from start to finish. Still have the bruises from her pinching me to shut up..

    Once missed "the target" and she said "HA!" :eek:

    There was also that poor unfortunate who passed last week from the Ambulance. Like another boards poster, i couldnt help thinking of that Simpsons episode where Homer keeps falling off the cliff

    I went up to my best friend (since we were 5) in eyre square messing and pushed him a bit.. He managed to trip for about 2 metres backwards before starting to fall into the taxi rank where he landed on the bonnet of a car that was going way way too fast. Really screwed him up but nothing broken.. Bout 15 of our friends in panic waiting to see if he was going to be able to get up while I break into a 5 minute fit of laughing. I was so scared, worried, thought he'd broken his back.. Basically in a complete state of shock but my bodies reaction was laughter.. Not in the haha sense, more in the "If i had pushed him two seconds earlier, he'd have been under the car" type of manical laughter.

    It was weird and shite.

    After I congratulated a girl on her pregnancy. Later found out it was someone else I should have been congratulating!

    Normally when something really bad happens, like a car crash, somebody falling, animal getting hit by a car, etc etc. Not that I think that's funny, but I laugh for some reason, it's fcuked up and very awkward.

    I was at a funeral. It was for a great-grand parent. It was a sad day. Our uncle (over-sensitive type) went up for the speech. He was crying and sniffling every 2 seconds. My aunt was up their helping him. At one point she was holding up his speech page so he could read. His bawling only got worse and my sister whispered:" Isn't *insert male name* an awful crybaby?". I giggled only to look up at my aunt. Her hand was covered in snot and the disgust on her face sent the church into fits of laughter.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,572 ✭✭✭✭brummytom


    In mass earlier, the response was 'You are a priest for ever, in the line of Melchizedek.' (Yes, I had to google that)

    Not one person could pronounce that last word. Each time it was repeated, me and my brother laughed more and more.

    Here's a nice image for ya,sticking a thorny vine in your jap eye.

    Anyway,when I was in the hospice in Donegal one time there was a priest giving the last rights to someone,it was really sad,but then I looked out the window and seen my little brother desperately trying to catch a cat outside,I could only stand there silently doing that shaky laugh before I had to go into the bathroom before I exploded with laughter.
    :pac:

    Someone threaten me online (seriously) - I laughed, PM'd the lad (forwarded the PM's to a Mod here for another laugh) and arranged to meet.

    I laughed at the look on his face, and I still laugh.

    (I'll be putting the smile on the otherside of a fvckers face shortly too)

    Other than that, I can't say incase the girl is viewing this thread - it ended in tears.

    My Gran was receiving the last rites in a room in James. My Mam and her 10 siblings were there along with their respective partners and what seemed like all my cousins.The priest was getting into his stride reeling off Saints names like there was no tomorrow.At this point my Mams youngest brother whispered to me " **** me! I think he has just started on the London Underground Stations". I laughed very loudly and couldn't stop. Still laughing very loudly I had to leg it out of the room. My Brother told me after that all you could hear was my laugh echoing all the way along the corridor. I thought my Mother was going to kill me but My Uncle owned up to his part in it and I was forgiven!!!

    My sister once started laughing when she was telling me an old friend of hers had cancer.
    She didn't even know why she was laughing, as it's clearly not funny.

    But me, I never laugh.

    Thought I was the only person who did that! Used to do it in school too, incident would have nothing to do with me but if a teacher asked anything, I'd turn bright red and start to laugh, a death sentence!

    During a talk about people who have died and what not, someone made a joke about a dead person, how they died I think, i burst out laughing, everyone stops talking and stares at me.

    "thats not funny..."

    "Oh...."

    I was in my friend's garden a few years back, and her father was out playing football with her little brother. He fell and started rolling about and complaining about his leg. He really sounded like he was acting the mick, I laughed. Turns out it was quite badly broken :(

    me and my friend were going up an escalator one day in a shopping centre, this one in front of us got her dress/skirt/whatever caught, we pissed ourselves, then this old one starts hitting us with a handbag from behind...didn't know whether to apologise in front or give out behind :)

    I was in Venice a few years ago and sitting at a restaurant near the bridge of sighs.

    So I'mn eating and chatting away when i hear this rush of footsteps and hear this almighty clatter.

    I turned around and there was a woman who had a big old fashioned buggy with quite a young baby in it and she had obviously tripped over her own feet and flew down the steps of the bridge, buggy in front of her.

    It was just the noise of her coming and the sight of her that she couldn't stop running and the husband running after her trying to catch her :pac:


    Maybe you had to be there, but just the whole situation made me nearly spit my turbot all over the table :P

    Saw an old lady trip on a pavement.

    She didn't fall over, but she glanced back briefly to see what she tripped on. Then she bumped into someone and fell on her back.

    Absolutely hilarious. But wrong:o

    My gran died earlier this year. On her second last day, while lying in hospital she wakes up complaining of a few aches and says "I'm getting stiff...but not quick enough!"

    The entire room full of family members cracked up with laughter, f*cking hilarious!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 715 ✭✭✭_sparkie_

    A bitchy colleague at work referred to a nursing administrator as "Miss Piggy". The next time I spoke to this woman, I noticed how she did have a resemblance to the said celebrity - and I had a job to stifle the giggles while discussing a serious issue!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11 mssin80


    went to vegas a couple of years ago and went to see the fountains at the bellagio.a song is normally played along with the fountains coming up from the lake,when we went to see it they played this terrible pro-american anti-everyone else dribble about being "proud to be an american where at least i know im free"!our whole group burst out laughing but the americans around us didint find it the least bit funny.still a bit raw maybe????


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,264 ✭✭✭Pretty_Pistol


    When my friend told me his cousin committed suicide. I didn't even find it funny. I hadn't a clue how to react so I just laughed.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,027 ✭✭✭✭titan18


    Saw my friend get his hand rolled over by a car after he fell backwards.Broke down laughing and loads of people came out and were helping him.Took me about 15 minutes to stop laughing. Also, have had to really suppress laughter when my lecturer fell backwards off a table and when a girl collapsed by me in an exam.

    When i was younger me and my mates went to Shelbourne matches and they had a minutes silence pretty much every home game. We had to go to separate parts of the ground because we couldnt stopped laughing during it. We weren't laughing at anything. It was just the fact that we were not suppose to laugh, made us laugh.

    Didn't someone shout out "I don't know what a tracker mortgage is" during a minutes silence at Croke Park or is that another legendary urban myth??

    Two occasions that I can remember from school:

    Firstly, we were doing one of those religious retreat things where the classes in the year were all broken up into small groups and local lay religious types come into discuss various moral and theological issues. One of the questions was "when do you get angry?" and a mate of mine said "anytime I see Paisley on the telly!!" We all giggled a bit and it moved one.

    Queue the honesty and sharing moment and yer one who was telling us about her daughter who did the liffey swim but caught some type of bug that caused her to become paralysed followed quickly by a story about her dead uncle who abused her and her brother over many years and they only found out at his funeral.

    Unfortunately for me I started to think about my mates Paisley comment and thought this the funnest thing ever. The looks of absolute disgust as everyone thought I was laughing at yer one getting abused was seriously cringe worthy but I couldn't stop!! I actually felt really bad for yer one though.....sharing with this spotty teenager laughing in her face!

    Secondly, me and the same mate were sent out to get a TV so we could loo at a film in english class. We go into a room where we know one is kept and start wheeling it out. The pupils in that class start complaining saying they'll be using it in the next class so we wheel it back and as we're walking out of the room a wheel fell off the trolley and the TV did a back flip and landed on its screen on the floor. Me and my mate just look at each other in shock and he says in all seriousness "I hope it's Japenese.....thoses Japs make great tellys!!" I just burst out laughing and the teacher in the class at the time just turned to me and said "do you think this is funny??"

    And just to add insult to injury, the film we were looking at was "The Elephant Man". We found the telly, started looking at it and as soon as Joseph Merrick came on screen I burst out laughing thinking about the Japanese comment. This caused my teacher to pause the film and give out to me for being insensitive as this guy really lived and how I should be ashamed of myself!!

    Once we had a religious man in our school talking to us about stuff, and then he mentioned his friend whos gone missing, presumed dead. he then said he was going to play a song in memory of his friend, so he took out an acoustic guitar and started playing Killing Me Softly. Everyone else sat in respectful silence and looked sad because the song was for his missing friend, but by god he was awful at singing and I had immense stomach pains from trying not to laugh. I could see my friend shaking with laughter beside me and i knew if i looked at her wed both just explode. Most painful ten minutes ever, it gave me abs!!!! however i am pleased to say no noise was made apart from slight squeaking:)
