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 · 31-07-2015 07:23AM

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.

Obligatory video. It never gets old.

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

jamesbere · 31-07-2015 09:15AM

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

qo2cj1dsne8y4k · 31-07-2015 09:20AM

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 · 31-07-2015 09:45AM

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

Also, the Cavan accent.

RomanKnows · 31-07-2015 09:45AM

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.

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 · 31-07-2015 10:05AM

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!

fussyonion · 31-07-2015 10:13AM

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 · 31-07-2015 10:16AM

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.
