What are some things that make you laugh every time you think of them?
January 7, 2021 10:43 AM Subscribe
I'm looking for things that for one reason or another surge to your memory occasionally and every time you think of them, you laugh -- out loud, or at least in your mind. It could be a joke or a comic or an incident.
Two examples for me are: Four Seasons Total Landscaping and the restoration of the Christ picture in Spain.
I need some more laughs for my armor.

I have watched this GIF of a baby giraffe's tongue flopping out so many times that I no longer have to watch it to be amused by it. Just thinking about it makes me cackle with glee. Look at the way it bounces!

I love the Loony Tunes cartoon where Bugs Bunny and Elmer Fudd are participants in a production of The Barber of Seville. The cartoon is called "The Rabbit of Seville". In particular, I love these lines that Bugs sings to Elmer (at this point, Bugs is dressed as a woman): "What would you want with a wabbit? Can't you see that I'm much sweeter? I'm your little señoriter. You are my type of guy, let me straighten your tie, and I shall dance for you." I crack up at the rhyming of "sweeter" with "señoriter".

Let's go to the hop. I first saw this while idly watching television about thirty years ago and I have never tired of it. I watched it twice just now. It's probably the purest example of Things Frowner Finds Funny.
The Sneak ("he's the Strongbad's Leporello") is also undyingly funny.
Also "Macrobiome".
I know that it is hotly debated whether Gritty is funny or cringe, but I don't care, this Gritty never fails to cheer me up.

Response by poster: There was a kindergarten teacher who was practicing a stand up comedy routine with a group I was in. She began with "There's this song I teach my kids. It goes A B C D E F. . .(pause, call for prompt) line!"
(The actual joke, when it came out, had a different line from the letter G, but that moment thinking she needed prompting for the alphabet, always makes me laugh)

Best answer: “God as a kid tries to make a chicken in his room” — this old Far Side cartoon can spring to mind and I'm automatically giggling. Maybe it's because I'm a recovering/recovered fundie, but it's so utterly innocent yet to some people will be instantly mega-blasphemous. Everything about it: the cloud of feathers, the soot and broken labware, the worried “mom's gonna be so pissed!” expression on the kid: these lead to questions about about what size is that room, and who is God's mom anyway? Sorry, can't be too coherent because I'm giggling too much.

This tweet from years ago. My husband and I crack each other up regularly by saying geebumf instead of goodbye in serious situations.
And, I once heard David Sedaris on a talk show saying he loves to talk to people who come to book signings, and always spends ages chatting to them, to the point that once he talked to someone who came to have her book signed for so long that the lady said "well, I'm gonna let you go..." I don't know why but that makes me laugh every time I remember it.

About 25 years ago, someone told me this joke:
What's the difference between roast beef and pea soup?
Anyone can roast beef.
I spent the next 10 years unable to stop myself from cracking up, turning bright red, and crying anytime someone asked me to tell my favorite joke. My friends would prompt me to tell it any time we would meet someone new.
It's worn off over the years, but I still love the few seconds that it takes for someone to put the pieces together when they hear it the first time (only really works spoken outloud).

So in the last couple of seasons of Game of Thrones, Jon Snow was wont to declare "You're my Queen!" to Daenerys. This often came out as, "You're muhqueen", which got quoted so much on various subreddits that it eventually became, "You're McQueen", as in Lightning McQueen from Pixar's Cars.
Lightning McQueen's catchphrase? Kachow. And thus, "Kachow, m'lady" was born, and I can't help cracking up whenever I recall this glorious saying.

*Warning: refers to the outgoing president*
David Tennant was on a UK comedy/talk show once, reacting to some kind of recent Trump UK appearance; he reminded the crowd about something Trump said once about how people in Scotland "love me up there." And then, in the biggest, broadest, angriest lapse back into his native burr I've ever heard, David announced "on behalf of the Scottish nation - we foockin' don't!!!!"
This makes me giggle every single time I've played it ever since. For a while I was trying to figure out how to have that as my ring tone.

He very much enjoyed telling the story and she said that for as long as she knew him he was unable to finish it without breaking into tears of laughter. (My mom still has the bench.)

I know I can’t properly describe the awesomeness of this but after 20 years I still crack up at the memory-
...of when (I thought) my friend Bob asked if Id ‘ever used up a day’.. as in frittered away my time: so I went on and on about all the times I tried to accomplish things but couldn't... had the best intentions...but failed... made lists but still... then I noticed him looking at me funny because he’d actually asked... ‘ever used a bidet?’

Oh he’s not a good person but Norm McDonald telling the moth joke makes me laugh and then laugh at how much I’m laughing.
Also the video of the family trying to catch the bat, sort of. “HOO, catch him, Jerry!”

Two things that still make me laugh at random intervals, even though I read them 1-2 weeks ago:
An Amazon review for a hairbrush that said:
"Brush your hair today ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
This hairbrush brushes my hair like a hairbrush. Thanks !”
And this throwaway line from The Unkindest Tide by Seanan McGuire:
"Where did you think all this blood came from? Blood Costco?"
