The Donald Trump inflatable baby which has had the green light to be flown over a London when the President arrives
This made me chuckle
This blog is over to you again my pretties !
What made you laugh this week?
I want details here as we all are in need of a good chuckle
Mine? Well mine was watching the final of the Dave Tv comedy quiz show Taskmaster
Now for those that don't know Taskmaster is a silly competition where 5 comedians have to perform batty challenges for chairman Greg Davies and his sidekick the delightful little Alex Horne
It's an incredibly funny programme made better by my favourite performer Lisa Tarbuck winning the final.
https://vimeo.com/229557060 I really laughed out loud!
ReplyDeleteBondage?
DeleteNo, I'm not trying to push porn!! This is a German commercial from ADAC, I have no idea what they are actually advertising. This one has been done with english text though, and I think it is just the frustrated dejectedness at the end that made me laugh.
DeleteHaha, laughing again, its for a car club of all things!! Never would have got that from the commercial!
DeleteAt work last week I shouted out "I have venereal warts" (I do not btw). We were discussing veterans benefits which we see documentation about in our work, and how some veterans get benefits for odd afflictions. I can't easily explain why I said that statement. It did give all of us in earshot a good belly laughing.
ReplyDeleteAfter a dismal Indepedence Day in which we here at the SparksDent house didn’t feel like celebrating the current racist/homophobic/you-name-it minority in control I stumbled across this rendition of patriotic songs by Prince Poppycock which lightened our spirits and gave us a good laugh . . . https://youtu.be/w2qfS9FTkMs

ReplyDeletebesides the dump baby balloon, this from author j k rowling made me pee.
I often listen to Radio 4 Extra's 'Comedy Club' show; two hours of about 4 comedy shows. Recently I have found almost NOTHING funny at all. They did do a day of Hancock's Half Hour recently; THAT was funny.
ReplyDeleteI never found Hancock funny at all...not once
DeleteMary and her new toy. (Not kidding!)
ReplyDeleteHer baby raymondo
DeleteJohn-boy gray
DeleteWhat is the name of Mary's baby? Baby Jesus? John Boy? Or Raymondo? Or ??
DeleteI'am probably the only one who will comment here that i find the Trump balloon thing insulting.. And no i'am not a fan of Donald Trump... However he is my president .. Yes , yes thank you for the condolences... I think he should receive the respect of the office he occupies.. Whether i disliked or disagreed with another countries president i would still hope that if he or she visited my country they would be treated respectfully.. There truly are no boundaries anymore on people's behavior some may find that freeing.. i for one find it scary.. People don't have respect for themselves much less anyone else.. I'm not even saying Mr. Trump deserves it but because of the office he holds he should receive it.. And that is my two cents..
ReplyDeleteAgreed, jinxxxygirl. I'd say that "inflatable baby" is not so much "insulting" as just plain stupid, tasteless, most certainly not funny. What's beginning to piss me off (and I am not a fan of Trump either) that he has been tarred with one brush and no one actually listens to him any longer. He talks a lot of rot, no doubt, but, among the many sows' ears, he does deliver the odd silk purse.
DeleteMakes you think how, once your reputation is down the drain, little makes any difference in how people perceive you.
U
What made me laugh? Madeleine Albright saying that she would respect Trump if he did three things. Can’t remember what the first two were, but the last, delivered after a perfect comedic pause....”when he stops lying”. That made me laugh.
DeleteAs to the balloon I agree it is insulting...and kinda think that is its point.
Traveller
I agree jinxxxygirl and to balance things out,there should be one made of the mayor of London so that he can float around and have a birds eye view of what is really going on...instead of spouting his rubbish from his little ivory tower xx
DeleteMay I remind everyone the subject is WHAT MADE YOU LAUGH THIS WEEK
DeleteCome on John, you opened the door by posting the Trump Baby Balloon
Deletetraveller
It made me laugh therefore it ticked the remit
DeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
DeleteHad to start over the whole idea of people saying I don't like Trump but....and then stand up for him makes me wanna cry to be quite honest, but I see the Float as A great LOL idea I hope it does float and I hope we all get to see it on the National News.
DeleteHe's not going to be in London long. So I doubt any protesters will be heard or seen.... I like the British nature of this protest . More a tut tut
DeleteDebi. we need a bill clinton blimp complete with intern on her knees
Deleteann
Well that made me laugh.... Respect shouldn't be deserved? And a big balloon is an insult? Oh well.

What makes me laugh? This week? Or any other?
ReplyDeleteMy dear John, if I want to laugh I venture to blog land. Some bloggers and their commentators make me laugh so much (for reasons I best keep to myself) they are prolonging the very life of mine a few are trying to shorten.
Never knowingly undersold, yours,
U
Only positives wanted in this blog entry
DeleteWhat could be more positive than being made to laugh, albeit unintended by the sender? See, the art in life is to laugh. Blame my grandmother. She too always saw the funny side, the ridiculous side of life. She laughed till she cried.
DeleteMost positively yours,
U
John - I am not a miserable person - on the contrary I try to keep cheerful at all times (and usually succeed) but I honestly can't remember the last time anything made me laugh out loud. I think I cry much more easily than I laugh because so many quite minor things on TV bring tears to my eyes. Perhaps it is something to do with getting older. x
ReplyDeleteMe too weave........I cry daily at little things
DeleteI LOVE Taskmaster too - the best show of the week. We are only 1 episode behind you, so now I know who wins.
ReplyDeleteThis week we have had a huge Southern Right Whale who has come for a holiday in our harbour, jumping and swimming every day with lots of shots of him on the news. That has given me a smile each night to see such joy from such a great creature.
Julie
Spoiler alert!!!!!!! Not well she was 9 points ahead
DeleteWhile I'm generally a cheerful person, it takes a lot to make me laugh out loud, although usually an evening with good friends will include at least one laugh-until-you-cry moment. The thing that made me laugh out loud most recently was reading "This is Going to Hurt" by Adam Kay. While it's also quite sad, in talking about the strain of being a junior doctor, it is very very funny.
ReplyDeleteMy dog's attempt to clime a tree during a shouting match with a magpie. She actually got three paws up the tree at one point.
ReplyDeleteI mean 'climb'. OMG, I'm as bad as Trump :0
DeleteThere have been some ugly politics at the village charity shop concerning the new manager. I am back as a deputy manager as I couldn't stand the bullying.
ReplyDeleteThe other day I moved a polystyrene head I particularly dislike to the back of the shop. I had the sudden urge to pop a pair of sunglasses on her and pin a note on her head saying, "shop spy ". The manager came out to the back to tell me something and saw my spy lady and totally shrieked with laughter, she had to rush to the loo and I could hear her belly laughing which set me off and I had the best laugh in months xx
Omg how exciting......there will he horses head in a bed soon
DeleteI can't think of anything that has made me laugh this week. I will have to do a search on YouTube to find something funny.
ReplyDeleteWatch the last taskmaster episode , the scene where Lisa tarbuck gets Alex Horne to sit his naked bum into a cream cake is quite sublime
DeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteWatching our 22 month old grandson trying to catch a ball while it was rolling down a hill away from him. All credit to him for trying, but he didn't have a hope! I could barely move for laughing!
ReplyDelete@jinxxxygirl,
I don't find the baby balloon at all funny, but if I had my way, the racist, misogynistic, fascist Trump would not be allowed admission to my country! If he wants respect, he could always try earning it. Quite obviously he's never heard or read;
"Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me".
I think I find the notion of the silent protest fair.
DeleteIt's awfully British
I agree John, I also like the idea of people turning their backs to him as he passes.
DeleteNot a lot, for reasons you well understand.
ReplyDeleteU seem rather bleak at the mo tom
DeleteI laughed at a headline in "The Stranraer and Wigtownshire Free Press" - "Five puppies found in shed"... It is surprising that Huw Edwards didn't announce this on the BBC 6'o clock news!
ReplyDeleteShut the back door!!!!
DeleteThe reaction of a certain section of society to the England win on Tuesday. Oddly enough we seem to have a team made up of quite decent young men with an intelligent manager. I am not a football fan, I only watch the World Cup and the European cup and that provides enough excitement for me. This has been a good tournament with champions being humbled, the dreaded Russians being perfect hosts and nice weather to get drunk surreptitiously while studiously watching the footy.
ReplyDeleteCharles
I never watch football....ever
DeleteI read Chrissy Tiegen’s tweets or Instagram when I need a laugh. She never lets me down.
ReplyDeleteOff to research her
DeleteI heard yesterday that a client's son aged 45 had lost his fight with cancer. Instead of shedding a tear we shared all the funny stories of his antics whilst he'd been in hospital. I'm going to his sending off party next week...the whole thing is being hosted in the garden [he didn't want any type of service] and he'll be there in his coffin for a couple of hours in the workshop. When his friends drive him off to the crem [they're literally just dropping him off at the back door] we're all going to be letting off party poppers as they leave...all his plans coming to fruition. No sadness just a celebration and lots of cider of the life he lived in the way he wanted. Arilx
ReplyDeleteIt's hard to do sometimes but if you can it's a therapeutic vent for sure
DeleteR said something today that me me chuckle, but I don't think I've had a proper laugh for the week. Given I am on stress leave from work, and we have tradesmen in, perhaps no surprise.
ReplyDeleteWhat was said?
DeleteHas to be my husbands face when I told him the pork pie I had so carefully chosen, was in fact for the dogs birthday, and he was getting none of it. Petulant spoilt child face does not look good on a 50 something man hehehe x
ReplyDeleteThis has made me smile. Thanks
DeleteThe dog really enjoyed his pork pie,and slapped his lips together with pleasure, which made me laugh even more x
DeletePaul confusing punks with pugs, and watching Rick sitting in front of the room fan with his ears blowing in the breeze.
ReplyDeleteI often find myself laughing at comments in blogs; I find English humour very clever!
ReplyDeleteSue above has just made me laugh; I'm imagining Rick’s ears flapping behind him in front of the fan.
Greetings Maria x
Your sweetness always makes me smile Maria x
DeleteTaskmaster has had us both in fits this week. I had two recordings and then the final so three nights of tittering. Lisa Tarbuck's cake was the best !!!
ReplyDeleteAlex losing a profiterole as he sat down was priceless
DeleteJust remembered watching the comedian Micky Flanagan on TV this week. He is so rude! I would be embarrassed to watch him with my Mum and Dad in the room but he is a guilty pleasure! :)
ReplyDeleteHe is dreadfully clever ...and makes his humour seem easy which it isnt
DeleteMY DAUGHTER . . .
ReplyDeleteSent me a text . . . reminding of something . . .
I swear, I could hear her laughter through the text.
Picked up my phone, she was laughing, I was laughing.
As I write this . . . laughing again.
You know, it was one of those laughs where you’re
splitting up, choking, giggling, bending over, crying . . .
My daughter Suzie makes me laugh all over,
and I am spending the day with her today
to celebrate her 51st birthday!
Love, Love, Love her . . .
Sweet
DeleteIt's called "Cat Dreaming of Riding a Bike and Crashing"
ReplyDeletehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yD9ABUUTD-4
Oh Bob, I loved that .. thank you !
DeleteYes bob thank you, it made me smile briadly
DeleteThe trolling of World Cup overacting, such as this Twitter post: https://mobile.twitter.com/hashtag/neymardive?src=hashtag_click
ReplyDeleteHubby and I boarded a plane on Sunday, sitting in aisle seats across from one another, I sent him a silly text message so I could hear my ring tone on his phone, the sound of a very loud flock of sheep.
ReplyDeleteThen there was the community Independence Day Parade that ends across from our terrace, someone messed up on traffic flow and chaos ensued.
I like the Trump ballon, We need 100 of those in DC. The video in the first comment, is funny.
Just spending a day with my family. They are all very funny and we laugh a lot.
ReplyDeleteI love the “45” balloon. The real man, though, has more gas and is stinking up the world.
If you use Instagram, follow ANIMALSDOINGTHINGS - there are posts every day that will make you smile, chuckle or LOL. And if you haven't had a laugh already read this: http://hyperboleandahalf.blogspot.com/2010/02/boyfriend-doesnt-have-ebola-probably.html
ReplyDeleteI can never make it through to the end without actually crying from laughing so hard!
Honestly lots of things. We were at our cottage at the lake and my grandson is still mastering casting. We go out at 6 in the morning., it's calm and beautiful and the best time to fish. After having several close calls with the hooks,I wore my grandfather's welding helmet(which has a Haida eagle painted on it) and an old red leather jacket (with shoulder pads). He looked at me and said "Grandma you should put your life jacket on." We all laughed and off we went. He's much improved and I don't have to dig a fish hook out of my arm.
ReplyDeleteThe balloon made me laugh.
Jane, your post made me laugh.
DeleteBarb
There seems to be a general malaise around at present; I’m definitely feeling it too. Perhaps it is partially the weather - hard to work in it. My laugh out loud moment, was a clip yesterday on MeanQueen’s blog, of a black dog (lab maybe) exuberately running into and through a water fountain. His absolute joy in the moment, and his dancing back and forth. Also the quiet appreciation of his performance of those standing around. At the very least it will make you smile. MaggieB
ReplyDeleteYes Maggie, tons not quite himself too
DeleteWhat makes me laugh is me making other people laugh. I've done it twice this week, once at Crafty Club on Monday morning, giving instructions on how to make wind chimes, and Tuesday night giving a talk to a group of fabulous WI ladies.
ReplyDeleteNot been much to laugh about round here since I smashed my right shoulder and arm is in a sling for another 3 weeks. But I did get a chuckle and my hubby and I shared a grin at one of our poddy lambs resting in the under tray of the hay bale feeder with all the ewes and lambs munching away over her and she was inhaling the leafy lucerne as it dropped into the tray on top of her.. no worries, gave me a lift I sorely needed.
ReplyDeleteGin always helps
DeleteBourbon has been my go to meds!!xx Question ...is Paracetamol/Codiene banned from over the counter sales over there as here?
DeleteWhat made me laugh? The balloon, J.K. Rowling's responses, and on twitter and Facebook #secondcivilwar letters in response to Alex Jones saying that Democrats were planning the second civil war for July 4th! We have to laugh to keep from crying around here! xo
ReplyDeleteYes, the second civil war was really funny!
Delete#secondcivilwarletters made me laugh right out loud more than once this week! The best time I've had on Twitter in ages!
DeleteAlso J.K. Rowling's response to the Trump tweet...."pour" hahaha!

Delete"Knicker moist" made me smile pretty big.
ReplyDeleteI think the most I laughed this week was when my tiny, skinny little grandson who is not yet three told me and his mother what he thought a father bear was saying in a book we were reading him. He opened his mouth and let forth with a long, long string of the loudest, belly-deepest Ha ha ha ha ha's! you've ever heard. It was funny not only because he could make this sound but also because really? Is that what the father bear was saying?
Could be, my little man. Could be.
I was inputting the new intake names for September at school the other day, and some of the names were making me smile. Then I had a fit of hysterical laughter over one of them, and every time I think of it now, it makes me smile... I cant put them on here, because you never know the parents may follow you, but what the heck were some of these parents thinking!?
ReplyDeleteThere was a library card holder with the middle name of Tsunami. Must have been a real rough pregnancy.
DeleteDeb, my husband had one of those parents. His middle name was the same as a famous ... magician ...
ReplyDeleteWe have a 4 year old blue heeler who is deaf, we have all leant hand signals to communicate with her including our 4 year old grandson. Last week we picked up our new French bulldog George, teaching him to sit Teddy is using all the correct hand signals but this sweet little dog had no clue what is going on, but poor Bindi was sitting like a champ waiting for her treat, meanwhile the rabbit has cracked the shits because he’s wanting to let out to have his normal run of the house. It feels like our house has turned into a circus, my hubby and I just looked at each other and laughed, I’m sure we will miss it all when our daughter and family move to their own house soon. Our son who works away 2 on 1 off sent me a message that’s he’s forgotten to pack any socks, no idea what he can do because he works at a remote mine sight poor sod, we’re laughing because we can. Jo
ReplyDeleteOur old border collie was terrific at hand signals, but when he didn’t want to do somethinghe would turn his head ant not look at us.
DeleteI loved this story x
DeleteConsidering that Trump does not respect the office of President, only like some of the citizens and is rude to other countries, I love that balloon more than you know.
ReplyDeleteThis is one of my all time favorite GIF's as I laugh when I see it everytime. Cats rock
https://media.giphy.com/media/11bCrWl7JG7j6U/giphy.gif
Snorts!
DeleteA couple of nice puns. One from a Facebook site, and the other from my other half, George. :)
ReplyDeleteDo tell
DeleteWe bought T-rex sunglasses for our 2 1/2 year old grandson, thinking he would love them. He does; for US to wear them and chase him around!! "Chase me, NanNan" is all I hear and I love it. He makes me laugh every time we see him.
ReplyDeleteIt's lovely being chased
DeleteRadio 4 extra ‘Hamish and Dougal ‘You’ll have had your tea ?’ Predictable, but still some laugh out loud parts , plus has the amazing Alison Steadman as ‘Mrs Naughtie’
ReplyDeleteShelly x
I'm sorry I haven't a clue slays me every time x
DeleteYep.......another good ‘un x
DeleteI love 'I'm Sorry....Clue' but I still long for the old Willie Rushton (and now Humph) days when it was at its best. Times move on......
DeleteMust admit I always switch it off for 5 mins whenever they do that 'One Song to the Tune of Another'. The round takes too long and once what they have to do is announced we've got the joke and it's just not so funny any more.
Awww....... Willie Rushton .......I’m smiling , just remembering his voice and intonation .
DeleteNo belly laugh/knicker moistening moments this week, but I did smile watching my grown children have fun during the 4th of July celebrations. It is so nice to see them having fun together.
ReplyDeleteThat's more satisfying isn't it
DeleteThink it was this week-when you surprised the lady walkers.A comedian whose mother was against him being a comedian but when he won a competition she stood up proudly in the audience and rose her arms up in the air like a peacock. It wasn't this week but it was recently -tv program me- Flowers that made me laugh x
ReplyDeleteIt was indeed x
DeleteI'll catch up with these a little later..off to the cinema x
ReplyDeletePicture our recent family dinner, three generations around the table and we are talking about a star wars shirt I sewed for my son in law. My son pipes up " you should get her to make you some boxer shorts (underpants), mine feel like heaven"...well that was too much information and we were snorting and laughing for a while.
ReplyDeleteBarb
I've just read this in the cinema ( before the film) and snorted
DeleteI have just this minute made myself laugh out loud with embarrassment. A lady from the allotment has just Knocked on my door enquiring ''would I like any courgettes'' I said just one would be lovely as another lady left one the other day-as I closed my door I realized that whilst talking to her I'd been fondling the courgette x
ReplyDeleteDirty girl
DeleteI have to stop myself feeling up the cucumbers in the supermarket.... in my defence, no one likes a soft one... ;-)

DeleteOhhh.. good one flis & Cherie K that's very naughty :D

Love it :D
DeleteI washed my favourite pair of sandals on Monday, got them beautifully freshened up and put them in the porch overnight to dry. Next morning? One sandal. Someone had nicked the right sandal and just the left one remained.
ReplyDeleteI went to work cursing and on the lookout for one legged thieving gits. On Wednesday my husband went to mow the orchard at the allotment half a mile from the house, and found an area of flattened grass in the middle of it covered with fox hair, ripped open food waste bags... And my sandal :) No damage at all - a quick clean and I was able to wear them to work today. I had a queue of people at my desk trying to guess which one was "the fox sandal"!
Lol a mystery indeed......have you smelly feet?
DeleteI usually don't snoop and mind my own business. But while volunteering at local charity, I looked out the window and noticed a young deaf couple in the courtyard. They seemed animated, furiously signing to each other, faces intense.
ReplyDeleteI don't know sign language, but my friend did. So I bugged her to interpret what was going on. She refused at first, telling me to mind my own business. But she gave in, right as the young lady became really animated and flung her hands all up in the air, swiftly throwing up hand signs like she was calling out her homies to rally to defend their gang territory in the hood!
The young man held his hands up and my friend interpreted his signing to his angry partner:
"Calm down! Stop yelling at me. I'm deaf, not blind!"
We just burst out laughing. And a few seconds later, the young lady laughed, too. Whatever their conflict, it seemed resolved over the laughter.
My kids make me laugh all the time. Usually they are taking the piss out of me!
ReplyDeleteMy demented mother throwing her $8000 cochlear hearing aide out with the vegetable peelings. We can laugh because we finally found it the day before bin day and the whole house got a good turn out in the search.
ReplyDeleteThank You for sharing your article, This is an interesting & informative blog. It is very useful for the developer like me.
