things you shouldn't laugh at, but do...

Foreigners with poor English. I find it endearing. I wouldnt laugh in their face but might get giddy afterwards.

it is featured in an ad on tv recently, one of the mobile crowd I think, quite funny and a good ad

Gongoozler

There's a flyer for that ad about the signs of a stroke, and the first picture is yer one with a droopy left side of her face. I burst out laughing when I saw it first.

What's so funny about someone trying to get to grasps with a new language that they didn't grow up speaking? Strange.

Foreigners speaking with a hybrid Dublin accent now. That's humorous.

I don't find foreigners struggling with English funny, but what cracks me up at times is folk who have a very good command of it but go slightly astray with colloquialisms/idioms, e.g. one recent one I heard, "I think that should be taken with a large pinch of Vaseline!" :pac:

Did they ever find the guy?

Tbh, most of the things that make me laugh are things that I shouldn't be laughing at.

People falling though. I'm gone. Can't stop myself.

My OH makes fun of me because I find people falling, getting hit by stuff hilarious. It's not exactly high brow!

We watch a lot of America's funniest Home videos on Youtube while drinking. I love it! Especially when the people totally deserve it because they are being idiots in the first place.

My OH is German and her English is excellent but she makes mistakes with idioms or colloquialisms sometimes and it makes me laugh. Our cat was outside and I asked her if she'd seen him and she replied that he was out "brown nosing around", she thought it meant being nosey

Trying not to laugh when my 2 year old say "fork" but it comes out like Fu*k

Racist joke's, always make me laugh. I've a fairly dark sense of humour.

qo2cj1dsne8y4k

when people are proper outraged and telling a story about some awful catastrophe that's happened to them. Aul ones on trains having a game of one up man ship on medical problems. "Oh I have a bunion", "God Mary that's nothing, I had to have my toe off".

I remember in the 80s seeing an interview with Danish footballer Jan Molby when he joined Liverpool, speaking broken English with his Danish accent. A few months later, in another interview, he was nearly more incomprehensible. He had a really thick Scouse accent.

donegaLroad

really bad singing that is supposed to be serious.. at a funeral for example.

Also, the Cavan accent.

RomanKnows

Kids falling on the ground or running into trolleys in the supermarket. This is after them running round like little midget hooligans only moments earlier.

Cracks me up.

Oh, and junkies running after a Dublin Bus as it pulls away moments before they get to the door.

Three gorgeous French girls wearing half nothing stopped me a few weeks ago on Abbey St and asked me where the Le Fay was. Six bouncing boobies in my face and a question I had no clue how to answer. They kept saying it too 'Yeah, Le Fae, do you know, Le Fae?' I wished I did, but I didn't and I just shook my head and said 'No idea' in a half Dublin, half French accident. Then one of them tutted, sighed and said 'You know, River Le Fae'. Cheeky bitch. I sent them towards Dorset St.

fatherted1969

Foreign nationals that have resided in the country a couple of years and have picked up some local slang along the way. Very immature of me I know but an Indian lad saying howye when I went into the shop the other night was funny as ****. Everything else was broken english

razorblunt

At work we can get quite lazy so will slide our chairs to the printer/cabinet. Everything someone pushes their chair back to their desk but overcook it power wise and end up doing the seated walk to their desk from a few feet away.
It's just the shuffle!

Kids falling. Kid's ice-creams falling off the cones.

People who stumble and do that fall where they're almost running before they actually hit the ground.

Amusing farts.

NachoBusiness

At the premiere of some film I can't remember now, in Screen 9 in Cineworld (largest screen there), just as the trailers were finishing, some bloke came running in with two large bags of popcorn and two large drinks. Legs it along the front of the screen (already looked kinda funny) and then skips up along the side. Half way up the steps, as he's being beckoned by his waving girlfriend, he slips and goes head first into the carpet. It was the look on his scrunched up face bracing for impact whilst still holding tight to the popcorn that made all the more funny when he hit the ground. The thump noise combined with an 'Ah no' look he was sending his girlfriend as the film was just starting had me in tears. Poor fcuker.

This and the accompanying flailing of arms which is I suppose in some way meant to assist a stop. Better still when they fall, get up and then examine the footpath closely as if 'it' caused them to fall.

A hybrid anything accent. I know a guy working for the same man since he moved here. They do a lot of service calls and work on their own a lot. The foreign guy sounds so like his boss it would make you suspect the boss might have gotten his end away on some stopover in a Polish airport thirty odd years ago. Hard not to smile when they have a row.

Have a polish woman here with a typical polish physique but with a strong north dublin accent. Hard not to laugh when she's speaking.
she had the sayings as well. "Come here to me"

Yeah it's the sayings with just a hint of the Polish accent. This lad is based in Waterford.

Other people's pain. I.e my cousin running into a glass door when I went to pick him up after he got lost.

Vomiting gets me. The Tale of Scrottie McBoogerballs had me in stitches.

I was taking a walk by the River Barrow a couple of weeks ago. The Barrow Track is only meant for people to walk or cycle on but I heard the roar of an engine. I looked behind me and two idiots were tearing up the track on a motorbike. I went to get out of the way before they hit me but then I heard a thud followed by a pained shout. I looked back and the bike was on its side on the ground and the two morons were picking themselves up off the ground.

I walked the five miles back home and never heard the bike again. I still laugh anytime I think about it. I'd hate to see someone injured on the road but anyone that drives around like a maniac in somewhere that's meant for pedestrians deserves everything they get.

When playing golf I find it amusing when I'm out with a hacker, types with a cackhanded grip and short swipe instead of a swing, absolutely no feel for the game. It can get awkward because I just can't hide it, tears well up in my eyes and and when I try suppressing laughter my nose starts exploding.

It happens in other games too, watching lads playing darts in the pub who miss the board or keep having bounce outs always gets me chuckling away.

She's one of my best friends now, but the first time I met this girl from Uganda a few years back we were doing a project together in college, and I was heading out to the shop, so I asked her -

"Do you want anything from the shop?"

"Cock"

"Sorry?"

"Cock, I want a bottle of cock!"

It took me a minute to figure out she meant coke!

I could barely walk straight down to the shop I was bent double from laughing so hard!


When he was only a few months old, my son used do this thing of being able to flip out of his cot over the bar head first, but land on his feet when he flipped over. Then he'd flip back into the cot again the same way. One night he was going mad doing it - flip out, flip in, a good few times.

I was in knots laughing, fascinated that he didn't injure himself. My wife came up behind me and she was not so amused

He now does that money supermarket twerking thing, and it's my wife who cracks up laughing, I'm the one who is not amused...

KungPao

When I see a junkie on Abbey St. Dublin, absolutely out of it...so smashed they are just stood still half bent over.

I know it's tragic for them and terrible for the city's rep, but i can't stop looking at them and chuckling.

jungleman

When I'm on the bus and it becomes full and just zooms on past the rest of the stops, and the people at the stops have their little hands held out but the bus just keeps going. Always makes me laugh to myself.

Rough Sleeper

People of east Asian ethnicity with Dublin accents.

I also think that junkies on the bus provide the best comic relief you can find it Dublin. Earphones out every time I see them shuffle to the back seats.

ToddyDoody

Really incompetent people who consistently try to bluff their way through... shouldn't really be a laughing matter but...
