What is the funniest moment you've experienced?

When my very proper English mother-in-law stood up, farted audibly and then announced, “I’m going in to the kitchen to cut the cheese.” My Ex and I were rolling on the floor.

So many I can’t think of just one. Possibly when my sister and I took my mom for a picnic on a lake. My mom at down on the cooler. The lid broke and she fell—her butt in ice. My sister and I got hysterical with laughter while she was squawking indignantly.

@janbb… LOL! ... this is HILARIOUS !!!

@Pachyderm_In_The_Room Truly! My Ex and I could never retell the story without getting hysterical!

Let me see if I can condense this story and still get across how funny it was, at least to me and my friend Willie. A few years ago the two of us were in London, both of us for the first time, on business. As a gag, a British friend talked me into tasting a spoonful of Marmite, which he described as a super-sweet cake icing-type treat. Well, I can’t begin to tell you what an awful NON-SWEET taste it has, at least to my Texas taste buds!

Playing the gag forward, I did the same thing to Willie and thought he was going to pass out right on the spot. I laughed … but wait! … that’s only the introduction to my story.

A few days later, I was heading back to the States and he was going to Paris to meet his girlfriend at a small hotel. I sneaked a jar of Marmite into his duffel and started looking forward to the reaction I knew he’d have. A week later, when he’d gotten back, he told me this tale, which was even better than I expected.

He had arrived at the Paris hotel in the middle of the night and ALL the light were out, as was the elevator. Somehow he’d managed to find his girlfriend’s upper-floor room, but because it was 3 a.m. and pitch black, he sat down on the floor to get his flashlight out of the duffel before knocking. He said that the second his hand brushed the jar of Marmite, which I had carefully buried at the bottom and which of course he couldn’t see, he knew exactly what it was and who had put it there and started laughing so hard that his girlfriend actually heard him and opened the door.

It makes a great story for people who know Willie’s and my weird sense of humor, and every time we tell it we get hysterical.

I want to tell you my story so much, but it happened in Japanese. Let me simply say it was a lived who’s-on-first experience.

When I lived in the states I bought these energy solution things that came in small wax things. I gave one to my sister, like she drank it, it took about 30 seconds for this look to come onto her face, tongue hanging out, I laughed myself sick over that one. I still laugh every time I think of it.

I have no idea what the funniest moment was, but this one is a favorite that comes to mind.

My sisters were going on a double date, and their dates came to the house to pick them up. As was customary, my father had to talk to them first.
While talking to them one of them bragged about his being the high school football team, and how physically fit he was. My Dad smiled, and said he was very fit as well, due to his job. The boy smiled, spoke for a moment, then punched my father in the stomach. My Dad had rock hard abs, and didn’t even flinch. The boy was quite impressed. My Dad then shook the other boys hand, and when he turned to the one that hit him, he punched him in the gut. 30 seconds later he was in our driveway, throwing up, while my sisters were in their room crying over the boy hitting their father.

@janbb Omg!!!! Hahahahahaha That’s classic!!!!

@Katniss It was the best. It is not a common expression in England and it was so, so funny!

Oh man, I’m an irony girl here. My favorite humor is irony.
My 2 favorite stories in the last few years were the time I left my mechanics after a major once over safety check and oil change on my car.
On the drive home in a torrential rainstorm the drivers side windshield wiper flew off!

Hah!

I had to drive home leaning to the right and barely made it. So much for the safety check. lol
The second was driving and hearing a strange scraping sound coming from under my car.
I pulled over and when I looked under my car there was a strange metal bar hanging from the undercarriage.
I was “WTF is THAT?!!”

I found a long stick off the side of the road and was poking and prodding the mysterious metal bar when, lo and behold, it fell down and it turned out to be a 3 foot long BBQ fork! lol
The pronged fork part was what was dragging on the ground. So funny and what a relief it was not some part of my car falling off.
Another great laugh was when my daughter and I, a few years ago, had a girls night at my house and were popping confetti party poppers all over my bedroom.

OMG!
So fun and funny….my entire room was knee deep in colored confetti!
Another banner moment was up at Harrahs in Tahoe with a friend a few years ago.
We were checking in for a weekend and the desk clerk was on the phone with a guest who had called to make sure she had properly checked out using the feature on the TV in the room.

The hotel clerk kept repeating himself that his computer showed she had, infact, checked out and all was well.
Obviously she just kept going on about being concerned she didn’t check out properly.
Finally, in an exasperated tone, the clerk says very firmly…..
” Maaam if you are at home, you have checked out!”

My friend and I hit the deck, you just had to be there!

I’m not sure if this is the funniest thing I’ve experienced but it is the most recent.

I was telling my almost 3 year old daughter that she came out of mommy’s tummy and that they had to operate on mommy to get her out. She thought that was cool so mommy showed her the c-section scar. After my daughter saw it she said “I don’t want to see that shit”. I couldn’t stop laughing.

Ever seen the cute Andrex toilet paper ads, where the puppy unravels the roll all over the house? My dog, as a puppy, went one better. She not only unravelled the roll, she shredded it into confetti. Then she went to work on the other 11 rolls in the packet under the bathroom sink. I never knew 12 toilet rolls could possibly contain such a huge volume of paper. All over the bathroom, the landing, the stairs, everywhere. I should have been mad with her because it took ages to clear up, but I just couldn’t.

I never left the bathroom door open after that.

I’m going to be out of town this weekend, so I bought one of those automatic food dispensers for my cat and tried it out for the first time a few minutes ago. I set it to dispense at 5, and sat down nearby at 4:59 to watch what would happen. My cat was sitting at my feet. Suddenly a little motor whirled and the pellets dropped down into the little attached bowl – like a slot machine payoff. I swear, my cat did a double-take, waited till the motor stopped, then practically flew to the bowl and started eating. It was hilarious.

@Pachyderm_In_The_Room I bet your cat is sitting there staring at it now, waiting for it to do it again.

@Pachyderm_In_The_Room Haha…how funny!
I thought you were going to say he was scared out of his wits. lol
Ya know…you better rig it to dispense sardines. :-p

@Coloma, the only thing that REALLY scares this cat is the vacuum cleaner. and the door bell.

@downtide, your downright psychic. He is.

@Pachyderm_In_The_Room Yes, same here, the vacuum sends my guys running and hiding too.
