Oh, I've got loads Paul. All sorts.
What's the funniest thing you've ever seen? Page 2
The funniest things I ever witnessed were on a family trip to New York. My dad was very drunk most of the time and made some fantastic faux pas at my sister's (Jewish) wedding and just in general.
Er, a naked, drunken 85 year old woman. Perhaps we'd best leave it at that.

Keep em coming!
It seems from these replies that we laugh most at other people's misfortune, especially if it makes them seem ludicrous.
Only one comedian's act is mentioned, which is interesting.

No mine was laughing at the entire World's misfortune!

Your broad minded ways inspire us all.

Don't get me going again...
I do remember seeing an old lady's knickers drop down in the street. That was a good laugh as well.
Techincally, these should be under your favourite You Tube clips, but these make me laugh for hours -

No scripted comedy can ever truly reflect the absurdities of real life.
Quote: Daddy Maz @ August 7 2009, 1:06 PM BSTBussell queueing up in Waterstones to get his copy of 'Ultimate BBQ Bible' signed by Ainsley Harriott while saying "oh that's a big cucumber" rather loudly.
For me it was working at the customer service department of an adult video emporium when Daddy Maz turned up, incensed that the DVD we'd sold him the day before, despite allegations to the contrary, contained no "ten inch cocks!" at all. I'll never forget the way he stamped his feet, all red-faced as he waved his ruler around and frothed at the mouth.
Off the top of my head, I remember taking my old dog Suzie, for a really long walk one day, and we ended up cutting across a farm-yard. I was a bit worried that I might be trespassing, so was trying to be as quiet and as quick as possible. Unfortunately, the farm-yard was full of turkeys, who all started to chase us. I thought Suzie might scare them off, because she was a tough little bitch, but there were just too many of them, so we had to leg it. The scene must've looked like something from a Benny Hill sketch, because it took us about 30 seconds to find our way out of the farm-yard, with these damn turkeys trailing us the whole time.

I have some poultry, and when they see me, them run toward me; but they do so because they hope to be fed. Perhaps if you'd have just stopped, they would have stopped too?
This could go in the favourite YouTube video thread, but it really is the funniest thing I've ever seen. It's quite old so people may have seen it already, but it never stops being funny: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cIwTYL1fwJk
