Default What makes you laugh?

Humour has got me through some tough times in my life. What really cracks you up?
For me it is not "comedy" but real life situations, friends and so on.

The funniest thing I have ever seen and still makes me laugh after 10+ years was an incident at work.

I was looking for a dude and popped my head in an office and said "Bob about?"
There were 4 guys and a girl in there and they all in unison, instantly bobbed up and down. I laughed for hours and was actually in pain!
Maybe you had to be there though!

Funny things, stupid things, people falling flat on their faces, people making an arse of themselves, people getting in strife because of their own stupidity, My youngest laughing - it has to be the most infectious laugh ever and doesn't happen often enough. The list goes on.

My eldest was on a hospital bed after having her first epileptic seizure. I was bored by this point - tests done, just waiting for a bed on a ward. She had one of those gauge things on her finger that has a red light and she pointed at something. My immediate reaction was 'ET, go hoooommmme' I laughed like a drain for ages. She didn't see the funny side

Just before we got married, we thought we should practise the words of the civil ceremony which were, "I know of no reason why I, Xxx Xxxx, should not marry this person". However, as my husband is a Geordie, it just completely cracked me up as it sounded like, "Why aye". It just wouldn't get less funny and I started to really panic about ruining the ceremony.
