    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 :(
    Sorry had to laugh at that one... hope broken leg got better... why I am still laughing?

    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

    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.

    Ha ha ha I was sniggering away to myself at that as well!!:D:D

    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!

    That should be a good sign. Provided your load is outside your body at the time

    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!

    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: 12,081 ✭✭✭✭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!!

    In the same way that we all found the rape with a knife scene in seven funny

    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:)

    In school one of the days one of the teachers say ''Now with science we know where we can locate nearly everybody''

    Something along those lines^

    Fella in the back of the room shouts '' Don't know where maddie is''

    *awkward silence*

    I see a smirk on someone and start bursting out laughing.

    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 had a similar situation to this. I was terrified of laughing during the mass :rolleyes::o


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,784 ✭✭✭Superbus


    Outside the church, before a funeral, just as the hearse pulled up, a dog came over to me and started slobbering over my shoe. The whole congregation was completely silent except for my semi-stifled giggle, made all the worse as it was the first time I'd smiled in days so it felt kind of unnatural. It was one of the worst moments of my life, until the dog walked away, when I just felt really ashamed.

    My shoe was still covered in dog spit.

    Was in a jury in court before and glanced at one of the artists who was trying to put a similar expression on their face as the person they were drawing!! could not stop laughing!!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 197 ✭✭dezzyd


    During a best mans speech at a wedding when he was going on about a dead family member....still feel bad about it. Just came into my head "is he going to raise a toast to this too"?? After that, couldn't help myself :eek:

    My now ex girlfriend was sitting on my lap, looking at her email, and I was looking over her shoulder.
    She had 2 emails from her mum.
    1st one

    Mrs Smith was taken to hospital this morning, but she's on her way to make a full recovery.

    2nd Email
    Mrs Smith Died this morning.

    I don't know why, but I cracked up laughing. My girlfriend ran out the door crying and wouldn't speak to me for 2 days. Turns out Mrs Smith was one of her closest family friends.
    I'm a prick.
