Last thing you shouldn't have laughed at but did anyway?

[steph]

OK, this isn't a joke but I guess the mods will move it to Humor if they see fit. I know some people out there could definitely use a chuckle so here's my attempt at lightening the mood...

What's the last thing you saw that made you laugh even though you probably shouldn't have?

Here's mine. It was a hot day and I had the top off (my CAR you pervs!) Anyway I'd been tanning, and was rocking out to whatever was on the radio at the time. I was stopped at a light, waiting for it to turn green. I was too warm and took off the t-shirt I was wearing, I had a sportsbra on underneath, the very presentable kind you see on marathoners. I felt someone staring at me. I glanced sideways at the shiny back truck next to me who wasn't in the turn lane. A young guy smiled and gave me the thumbs up sign. I smiled back and gave him a little wave. I could see him start to roll down his window to say something to me, my light turned green. (His didn't) and he started rolling as well, then hit the new Jaguar in front of him. I looked in the rearview to see this woman making all kinds of grand gestures, like the McCauley Culkin "Home Alone" face among others. I then looked back at the guy in the truck who was cracking up!!! (There was literally inches between them and I knew it'd be at worst, a fender bender.) I laughed the two blocks home, just the look on that woman's face and the guy busting up over his blunder.
No I did not stop, I didn't want my name on that police report. There were plenty of witnesses and it was obvious who the at fault driver was. Can you imagine that poor guy talking to the officers, "Well, uh, ya see there was this girl and she took her shirt off and..." 😀 😀

i chuckled at a tourettes guy riding the bus the other day.

i really love that illness.

 

[qjakal]

Hmm...

But laughter in those circumstances seems appropriate Ms Steph, so I think you owe us another story based on the threads title.

I, however, will admit to having laughed at the Austin Powers movies...a definite no-no for sentient carbon based life, but there ya go, I did it,

Oh come ON! everyone laughs at the Austin Powers movies! They be very funny! I, however, have something very low to admit laughing at.....

I once laughed while watching nickelodeon.

And it wasnt even one of the funny shows like Invader Zim. Actually thats the ONLY funny show on nickelodeon...but I digress.

I actually laughed at the Amanda show. Yes. That show hosted by that talentless....thing, with some of the worst canned laughter and bad jokes on television. The bit I laughed at was this bit when the Brady bunch were beating people up. DONT ASK WHY! I JUST FOUND IT QUITE FUNNY!

 

[steph]

LOL! Ok, how about this, actually it should probably be under "most embarassing" thread (has anyone started that one yet?) but here goes...So I'm at work, my office is in another building separate from the hospital. I'm standing at the top of the landing in my high heels and a very business-like suit. Well, I lost my balance, yep rolled the entire way down the staircase, carpeted, thank goodness. There was an entire lobby full of people who were frozen, staring, horrified. I rubbed my ass, shook my head and started laughing, then took the outstretched hand waiting to pull me up. I took a bow and said to the girl I almost rolled into, "Do you wanna get Jackie Chan's agent on the phone for me? Because he's been after me to master THAT move for WEEKS--this is one part I'm NOT going to miss out on!" Some people still looked horrified though, guess they didn't think it was a time for humor.

XOXO

PS--I watched a Maury Show I think Baron with this girl who had Tourette's. She had a really good sense of humor about it and everytime she found her self stuttering, she'd lightly slap herself on the cheek and say "snap out of it bitch" then start laughing at herself. The audience really loved her and I think she'd been on before.

 

[The Sean Man]

I get major laughs out of watching the show "I'm Still Alive!". It's one of those home video shows with footage of people almost meeting their maker. Anyway, what I do is turn down the sound, and do my own commentary (I call the show "Oh Shit! I'm Gonna Die!"). Anyway, at the appropriate moment of danger, I start screaming, ending it with "Oh shit! I'm gonna die!!!!!!"

Then I collapse in laughter every single damn time.

I've been told it doesn't take much to amuse me🙄

[Faramir]

you'd probably have to be there...

...but last night I laughed at myself having to take a cab TO the pub!!

I say you'd probably have to be there, because most of my friends (social support group?) there know my vehicle very well (it stands out like John Holmes with a stiffy), and some won't stop in unless they see it parked outside.

I was sitting on the side of the bar that is not visible from the front door, and the bartender had to tell them that I in fact WAS there, and directed them to my location.

Guess ya had to be there...it was truely funny...!!😀

 

[Knox The Hatter]

I have a nasty sense of humor.
Turns out that I'm surrounded at my job by other people who have nasty senses of humor, as well...😀

One of our managers, a guy who no one likes, recently had a heart episode at work, and he took a month off. The day it happened, those of us who weren't witnesses asked just what triggered it. A Colombian guy who's not working with us anymore turned to me, and said that he started clutching his chest when the boss told him that he couldn't park his motorcycle among the service vehicles anymore. Knowing this manager's haughty, self-righteous, pompous manner, I was pretty much prostrate with laughter for a good half hour or so. In fact, we all thought it was pretty funny. Well, he's back, and we have RELIEF, since he announced he's leaving his job at the end of the month. To reinforce the sentiment about the man that I mentioned before: he's about as popular as jock itch...

One time a friend told me of this guy I hated in college that he was friends with but I couldn't stand. Anyway, he was working at a car dealership as a salesman. He was helping a customer with a car so he went into the back lot to retreive a car he can test drive. Before I go any further, you have to understand one thing about this guy. He is totally oblivious to what is going on around him and doesn't pay attention to anything. Well, getting back to the story, just as he was driving the car for the coustomer to test drive, he goes through the wrong enterence, aa a result he did some serious damage to the tires b/c the enteresnces had the spikes in the ground. He had to replace the tires and I think he was fired as well. I felt bad he lost his job but I laughed hysterically when the story was told to me. It was just so like him to do something like that

 

[tommytikl]

That is funny giantfan121262!
I know a friend of mine did a similar thing at a parking garage!
The thought the garage sign was a joke.."certainly they wouldn't put spikes in the floor to stop your car"
Well the certainly do!!!


Anyway my "story"..
I was about oh 12 I guess and was part of a "Fife and Drum" Group.
Well one of our members was about 40+ years old at the time and died of a heart attack while eating his dinner at a restraunt.

Well when our band leader retold the story, he said,
"Drew(not real name) was just talking and he head fell right into his dinner" and the way he said it just struck me as funny and I laughted...
I did feel bad about laughing and the band leader wasn't trying to be funny...more ironic than anything.
Anyway, I got yelled at for that one..and rightly so...I didn't mean to laugh it just struck me.

 

[steph]

I KNEW this would be funny gang--love the responses!
Anyone else want to share??

XOXO

 

[cecilia]

Here's a nice little joke that I appreciated. I sometimes post on an internet forum which is part of a website called "officer.com". Some officers were talking about police work in New Orleans and I asked if it was really true what I'd heard when I was there -- that a woman wouldn't get arrested for flashing on Bourbon Street on mardi gras day. Someone said, "A woman won't get arrested for flashing a D cup. Flashing anything smaller is a felony". Made me smile.

 

[the_Baron]

i have nice sized breasts. maybe with a wig, i could get some beads.

 

[Swimmingbird]

I was in New Orleans last summer with a buddy. Well, we're walking down Bourbon street bout midnightish and I see this guy. Real shady looking bastard coming at us. Know that feeling, "This guy's gonna break the law right now," and I knew from his current course we were part of his plan. So I'm looking around for something to clobber this guy with, but I've had more than a few hurricanes, so the best I can manage is to brace my hand against a street light to help stable my kick some. Anyway, luckily this guy wasn't looking to rob us or anything, he comes up and asks, "You lookin?" Now, who here doesn't know what that means, nobody right? Some stranger comes up to you asking you lookin' there's only one logical explanation. I thought my friend got it too, we were both born in California, but I guess he grew up in a Monastery because looking totally clueless, my friend asks, "For what?" I start laughing at this bumpkin and the junkie's looking a little confused now too. He describes his inventory, which was mostly pot, and my buddy says, "Oh! Drugs! No, wait, yes, wait... how much?" You know, I never thought I could be embarrassed infront of a small time drug dealer, but jeez. Someone slap a sign on our back that says, "Country folk, please rob us blind" Needless to say, I don't trust my friends to have my back in cities anymore. Bumpkins, all of them. Nice enough guys though.

Re: Re: Hmm...

I once laughed while watching nickelodeon.

I had to adjust the rectangular anntenna on my T.V. just right to get this (in the days before cable)

The Uncle Floyd Show!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

(Anybody? Anybody? Beuller?)

Mainly I watched it because of a kind of cult following it had, it was, I think unintentionaly, almost a spoof on kiddie shows. Anyway, the leader of the troupe, Floyd Vivino, was doing a bit called "Pierre Z. Painter". I saw that and came apart! I just sat on the couch laughing and laughing. my mom called from the kitchen "What are you laughing at?". My brother, with no talent for tact, replied "It's Uncle Floyd!. In my defense, I said "I must be really tired." (I HAD just put in eight hours at my factory job). My mom said "Yeah, you MUST be."

No one else EVER saw the show? Coming out of N.J.? C'mon, you Jersians, help me out here!

 

[giantfan121262]

Just to show that I'm not infallible...

I was at a Mets game one night with a friend in 1987. At the end of the game we were walking back to my car. It was raining that day so there were puddles in the parking lot. Well, as we were walking, I notice that he was pussy footing around the puddles. The next ting I say is "What is the matter with you? Don't you have the coodination to jump?" Well I do a "demo" and as I jumped, I lost my footing and fell square on my ass. Everybody that saw were in stitches. One guy yells "safe" and everybody, including me, just lost it.

The whole ride home I was listening to this hyena laugh. I didn't live this down for a month.

 

[giantfan121262]

I have another one...

Every Tuesday night in a local bar by where I grew up, there was this entertainment with a one man giutar. His name was Rich Meyer. We would go to see him on a regular basis. He does alot of spoofs on classic songs and TV show theme songs.

Well there is this one ritual during his act where he sings Happy Birthday to anybody celebrating. He'll ask and, naturally, if there is, everybody in that persons group is not shy to let him know. At that time the birthday boy/girl is deadmeat b/c there is no choice but to go up in front of the other patrons. While that person is up there he would bust his/her chops until their face was beat red. Then he would relent and sing Happy Birthday

Well, one guy in our group had a birthday and he was SHY from the word go. He loathed the idea of being exposed in front of a group of people. When we decided to tell Rich about it, we thought it would be fun to see him squirm. Initally, it was hysterical but it was clear that he couldn't take the heat. I felt really bad about it afterwards and apoligized to him. He eventually got over it but I heard it from his girlfriend for like a week

"No one else EVER saw the show? Coming out of N.J.? C'mon, you Jersians, help me out here!"

Oh sure! Uncle Floyd! Of course. I remember back in '84, we mailed some drug inspired poetry to his show written by this imbecile who played drums in my best friend's band, just to see if he would read them on the air. He did...we couldn't remember his comments on the poetry, since we were laughing helplessly on the floor until the tears streamed and the face muscles hurt. Boy, that was great, though.
Floyd Vivino's a treasure, pure and simple. His show was great, because while it was a children's show, it really wasn't for children at all. He's also a walking library on local culture here in New Jersey, and would answer all questions pertaining to "hey, do you remember such and such up there on Route 22..."
