What makes you laugh

What a great thread! I think Peter Kay is my favourite, along with all the others mentioned, especially One Foot in the Grave. There was a long special, One Foot in the Algarve with Peter Cook, and I nearly passed out with laughter. Also as previous posters have said, watching anything funny with my daughter or son makes it so much more special. I live alone and sometimes feel like a t**t laughing so hard by myself.

I also loved Ever Decreasing Circles.

Peter Kay makes me laugh, also Billy Connolly. I used to love Morecambe and Wise, some sitcoms such as Only Fools, The Good Life, Man about the House. I can't think of one 'modern' comedian who makes me laugh -John Bishop sometimes.

Thank you Bradfordlass for reminding me how great Peter Kay is. I was laughing out loud! Victoria Wood , Eric and Ernie, Two Ronnies, Michael McIntyre all very clever humour. Years ago I saw Jethro on stage and laughed from start to finish. Has he retired?
A good laugh is better than medicine, my Nan used to say; how true.

Yesterday's post about vaginal steam cleaning and a brilliant riposte about whether or not Dyson would bring out a new nozzle. Had me crying with laughter!

I have a WhatsApp group with my two daughters! Their comments and the banter between us has me in stitches regularly! Bless them! ?

I was with a friend at the Garter Day at Windsor Castle this week. She took countless photos on her phone, but said that as the sun was so bright she could only see her reflection in the screen - it was then that we realised that she had taken selfies for about an hour!

Reading Larry the Downing Street Cat's Twitter page.

My son laughed until tears poured down his face the other day when my cat jumped on my lap while I was eating dinner and parked her backside in my pasta. Funnily enough I didn't find it quite so hilarious, although the "What?" expression on her face made me smile!

Ha ha that is very funny. My father in law took many photos while on holiday in Greece in 2004. (2 weeks) got home, no film in the camera. I love satire. The funniest thing I have ever seen is Graham Norton doing the Queen song, Bohemian Rapsody, in the Caves in a Father Ted episode - The Mainland - cracks me up. Bill Burr is great. I almost died when my wife said to me.. "Why has Steven Hawkings got an American accent, isn't he British"?? I stopped breathing, literally, from laughing so much.

I enjoy some of the American humour too.

newspaper / ipad joke from 'Humour Again'
Thanks be to GreatNan! There are hundreds more to follow. The "spaghetti, spaghetti, spaghetti, two with meatballs, one without" is hilarious!; It's stuck in my brain like a tune that won't go away!

Dave Allen was very funny, saw him “live” once. Shappi Khorsandi, Paul Merton. The American sitcom ‘Frasier’ was brilliant, Only Fools and Horses.

My 2 daughters and I don't get together very often but we had a meal together on Monday and were in tears of laughter about the children and the antics of a previous Springer spaniel that we all loved to pieces. It was so good because it doesn't happen very often.

Victoria Wood, Peter Kay, Fawlty Towers, Gavin & Stacy, Pythons etc all brilliant but some modern comedies are great too. I loved IT Crowd & am enjoying Year of the Rabbit & I liked Zapped!
Classics like Morecambe & Wise with Andre Previn will always continue to entertain.

Takes a lot to make me laugh
recently started watching Whatever happened to the Likely Lads, and I lol

four candles.... doesn`t make me lol, but I smile a lot

An English couple near us have named their house 'Quatre Bougies'!!! It's hilarious explaining that to the French!

Love Miranda Hart.

One of my friends was out walking her dog and paused to admire a swanky new shed in someone's garden. There was a brass plate attached saying "Lady Cave" (as opposed to Man Cave, presumably).

Now I don't know what you ladies out there might think, but to us that meant only one thing..... and we were both struck with one of those laughing fits where you can't get your breath and end up with an ache round your ribs.

Then we speculated about whether the female owner of this shed could in fact be said to have put it in her Lady Garden , which started us off again! Childish? Probably, but the shared laughter (we live more than 400 miles apart) was wonderful.

I still laugh at John Cleese hitting his car with a tree branch!

GabriellaG54 Many years ago we had a man come into our studio andask us to process his film ..a very tiny 110 negative ..it was a new camera and he didn't want to trust just anyone with the results.We duly processed it and discovered exactly the shots you mention ,he had his camera the wrong way round and it was ears and noses in every shot .When he finally mastered it he came in with pictures of the moon...lol and was a bit disappointed the moon wasn't very clear in his tiny negs .

My GC ,they're a laugh a minute.The almost 10 year old does actions as she tells you something ,so when she was telling me about her "other granpa " and his big stomach she explained it by saying he tucks it all in his pants ...pulls imaginary pants away from her tummy and shows me how he tucks it in ..and then a perplexed look as she says ." and sometimes it DOESN'T all fit".I could write a book about their funny things and every day is a joy with them.Just as well as I see at least one of them every day ...lol

Ooh Bradfordlass what a laugh that Peter Kay video gave me. He's so funny and likeable. I loved Eric Morecambe too. I'd be smiling just at the sight of him.
I don't think I've ever laughed so much as I did while working in an NHS special unit some years ago. The other staff were a lucky combination of hilarious people who all sparked off each other. The working days passed very quickly there and I always looked forward to work.
It's people really. People make me laugh! ?

I too like 'Would I lie to you'.

I thought the newspaper / ipad joke from 'Humour Again' was the funniest thing I've heard in ages.

There is a very funny Welsh comedian (also wonderful singer) who works on the cruise ships called Mike Doyle. He makes you cry with laughter.
