I have laugh uncontrollably when people fall. I can't help it. It doesn't matter if they're really hurt themselves or if it's inappropriate timing like at a funeral. I completely lose all sense of decorum and absolutely piss myself laughing.

There's nothing I find more entertaining than someone absolutely spilling themselves.

Six one news ice man is my favourite fall of all time. Followed closely by Michelle Heaton going on her face in the apprentice. Madonnas being reefed from the stage last night just popped up on my Facebook and it's priceless.

A few weeks ago I starting laughing hysterically in work, the lads asked me what I was laughing at "my friend fell on the ice" "is she ok?" Says they. Me, still barely able to talk; "no she's had to get her head glued back together"

:pac:

So, AH, is there anything you can't help laughing at that you sometimes shouldn't and has it ever gotten you in trouble?

Very same. I'm still laughing at the RTE Fall Guy now when I think about it. Best is when the person gets up, looks around thinking no one saw but there I am laughing away in the distance. The very worst thing you can do when you fall is be all serious about it - it's absolutely essential to laugh along, even if you don't want to.

I didn't use to do this but I often laugh when my Spanish students make a mistake in English now. 5 years later I have to get my ****s 'n' giggles from somewhere. Some of the stuff they come out with is hilarious. Confusing beard for bird ("a lot of beards flying in the sky") or sheet for **** ("I bought nice, new ****s for the bed") beach for bitch with big straight faces. Brilliant. Completely unprofessional but luckily the Spanish have a sense of humour and laugh along. They laugh at my crappy Spanish pronunciation too, so fair is fair.

I can't stop laughing at this thread.

And RTE fall guy would not have fallen had he looked at the weather forum. Though I suspect RTE threw a bucket of water on the ground and waited.

Myself and my mate were at my great aunts funeral and some aul bint who hadn't a note in her head was 'singing' a hymn...

He whispers, 'this must be the European extended mix.'

I was in agony trying not to laugh, failing miserably.

In homage to the Fall Guy - the single funniest thing to ever appear on Irish television. I think I've played that video 100s of times now:

The funniest ones are where they think they can recover from it so the stumble on for a bit, therefore making the fall worse.

That YouTube clip is one of rte's main sources of income. Fact! *

I fell on ice a few weeks ago. 1 am walking home from the local with a tray of garlic chips. I came down hard on my shoulder but managed to save the chips. The streets were pretty much deserted. Once I stood up my girlfriend says "at least nobody saw", some random chap pipes up from 100 metres behind us "I saw it!"

:mad:

I thought this thread was about this pain in the hole.

Kids running around a supermarket like miniature hooligans. Running in between trollies and down aisles. Then one of them lands on their arse after taking a corner too quickly or smashing into a trolley.

Cracks me up every single time. Added lols when the Mother or Father eventually finds their child and then gives out to Ruairi for being so bold.

It does make me feel good seeing people get injured from a tumble. It's the only reason I visit YouTube really.

Hours and hours of quality viewing the likes of fail army. I especially like the ones where the person cracks their face off the corner of a wall doing parkour. Brings a tingle to my toes

kneemos · 26-02-2015 09:29AM

Can't look at people getting hurt.
RTE guy was funny though in fairness.

Timberrrrrrrr · 26-02-2015 09:31AM

RTE ice guy was hilarious and even watching it there it makes me laugh

This girl has to be a very close second though (technically not a fall)

The only thing better than when someone falls, is when someone records it for everyone to see!

I love this one. You can really hear his skull crack as it bangs off the icy pavement.

valoren · 26-02-2015 11:09AM

It's the little wobble and ill-fated, reflexive attempts to salvage their balance by grasping at thin air before going down that get's me.

:):)

LynnGrace · 26-02-2015 11:17AM

I laugh every time I see that clip. I think as well because he is striding along, like the weather can't affect HIM, of all people, and then takes such a fall.

Mr. CooL ICE · 26-02-2015 11:19AM

I laugh at old people running. Usually when I'm stopped at a traffic light and the green man is about to disappear, an old couple making their utmost effort to get across the road to avoid getting killed always cracks me up. It's not like I'm gonna run over them, but still.

I guess, having broken a few ribs a few years ago, one is not amused.

Never enjoyed the ice guy one much from pity because it looked bloody painful, he whacked his head by the look of it and could have badly hurt himself.

The more comical/slapstick looking ones sometimes elicit a chuckle though.
