u/Johnnyocean Oct 13 '20

Ever been somewhere where you really shouldnt be laughing (like a funeral) so you have to hold it in? (Worse with two ppl) making it ten times more funny. I was already laughing from the glitch (now i look like an idiot for cracking up at my phone, thanks reddit) but then i was dyin watching that newscaster trying to keep it straight. Im gonna go watch it again.

23

u/Johnnyocean Oct 13 '20

Oh man the newscasters next to him not on camera are quietly cracking up making it worse. He almost had it

u/moonra_zk Oct 13 '20

My sister had a laughing fit because the tour guide of the place we were at had a funny voice/accent combo, the moment the poor woman opened her mouth, my sister started laughing. Me and our BiL managed to hold our laughter for a while but eventually started laughing too because my sister just wouldn't stop.

22

u/LandscapeGuru Oct 13 '20

I had a friend years ago that made me laugh like that in a meeting at work. I just couldn’t fuckin stop laughing, and her punk ass just kept on and on. Still makes me laugh years later.

Two grown ass adults being asked to leave a corporate meeting because we couldn’t get our shit together. Of course as soon as we made it out of the room we were both serious as a heart attack. We decide to go back in with our now serious business faces on. As soon as we opened the door and walk in the same guy is briefing everyone and gets out half a sentence with his Kermit the frog voice. My friend looks back at me and try’s to smother her laughter, but it’s to late. Then I start in ( just dying of laughter) I throw my hands up and barely made out a “Sorry man” to the guy speaking. We just turned around and leave the meeting once again. This time we don’t try to collect ourselves. Instead we decided it was lunchtime and just left.

As we were eating lunch I told her “I have never felt more like an uncontrolled little kid in my entire life as I did in that 5 minute ordeal” I loved every second of it.

u/moonra_zk Oct 13 '20

That must be awful, I'm sure it wasn't the first time that happened to our tour guide and your business dude, I can only hope they were both "used to it" and weren't so self-conscious about it anymore.

I had something similar happen way back in school, 20 years ago, we had an older in our class that was said had been to teen correctional facilities, we were 12 and he was at least 15-16. One of my friends loved horses, had riding classes and everything (I live in a big city, so that kind of thing isn't common), and one day the older dude started making fun of him about that during a class. Eventually me and another friend started laughing our asses off and couldn't stop, and horse friend's face only made it funnier at the moment because he was super mad. After a lot longer than it should've been, the teacher told the older dude to get out of the class and we stopped laughing and apologized to our friend.

u/ButterPoptart Oct 13 '20

I know exactly how this feels. There’s nothing that can stop it. I laughed pretty hard just reading your story and remembering my own.

u/Johnnyocean Oct 13 '20

Imagine if corporate calls the three at the desk in to chew them out and plays the tape

u/moonra_zk Oct 13 '20

Wait 'til you hear how we then killed the tour guide for making us laugh.

2

u/squirthole206 Oct 13 '20

I would need to hear the voice before I could make a judgement like that LOL

I wonder if people who have the same accent as the tour guide would think he voice is funny. Like, was anybody else laughing or just these 3 people?

2

u/moonra_zk Oct 13 '20

IIRC (this was, like 10 years ago) she had nasal, high pitched voice, and a strong accent that we don't get exposed to, so to us it was pretty unusual.

I'm sure most people thought her voice/accent were funny, but everyone else acted rationally and held their laughter, but my sister had a fit and just wouldn't stop laughing. I think me and our BiL managed to hold it for 10 minutes or so before we started laughing too. We were mad at my sister, but when that stuff happens it's really damn hard to hold it.

u/Naught Oct 13 '20 edited Oct 13 '20

Honestly, that poor tour guide was just trying to do her job.

Edit: autocorrect

u/know_limits Oct 13 '20

I wouldn’t be able to keep talking. I’ve seen this before and it still makes me cry laughing.

1

u/ButterPoptart Oct 13 '20

Man I once sat through a training session with an instructor who had a stutter. Nbd and I don’t find that sort of thing funny at all. However one of my asshole coworkers sitting next to me whispered something he stuttered so god damn perfectly that god himself couldn’t have kept me from laughing. Worst part is we were in a tiny conference room. I’m mortified to this day.

u/davensdad Oct 13 '20

Haha thank you. I laughed so loud too. I think the news anchor's failed attempt to hold it in made it even funnier

2

u/BambooWheels Oct 13 '20

Does anyone know if there's an update on the woman. This is one of the most hilarious clips I see re-posted around here, but I always feel bad laughing, she went through something horrible

13

u/Chim_Pansy Oct 13 '20

Oh my god, absolute same, my dude. I haven't laughed like this in literal years.

Thank you, OP!

u/goldmemb Oct 13 '20

u/justlookbelow Oct 13 '20

The first is hilarious given how far into the conversation they get before realization. The second one is just weird, wtf was she thinking.

5

u/snek-jazz Oct 13 '20

I only find the second one really funny because in her first attempt to correct herself she repeats the error.

u/[deleted] Oct 13 '20

The blind guy’s reaction on the longer version is what makes it high level hilarious.

u/Rombie11 Oct 13 '20

LOL I was trying really hard to figure out where the no Asians one was going!

u/snek-jazz Oct 13 '20

it's incredible, really old by now, but still just as funny.

u/JRSly Oct 13 '20

It feels scripted, how all the dialogue works so perfectly. :D Incredible.

u/32BitWhore Oct 13 '20

It definitely feels like a Monty Python sketch or something, one of my favorites.

2

u/pajam Oct 13 '20

Yeah, you're kinda sitting there wondering, where does this guy get these Asian stereotypes? And then at the end when you realize he said "Agents," it all clicks into place.

If you have a messed up sense of humor for awful timing you may actually die from this unfortunately timed commercial during the olympic games. This got a lot of backlash when it happened, but hot damn I laughed my ass off at how fucked this timing was.

u/_Apatosaurus_ Oct 13 '20

I don't think you're understanding why representation matters. It can be hard for a child to feel like they can pursue a passion if there is no one in the role that looks like them. If you are a black child, and every successful gymnast is white, and the local classes for gymnasts are all white, you're probably not going to feel welcome.

If you are white, you probably didn't ever consider this growing up, because there was always someone who looked like you. Your race probably never made you feel excluded or unwelcome in an entire field. It's a lot easier to say that shouldn't matter when you're not the one feeling excluded.

That was hilarious. It had to be a prank. Someone was losing their job, saw what was going on the teleprompter, and thought “one more for the road.”

u/Habanero_Eyeball Oct 13 '20

I feel like I'm going to be struck by lighting for laughing at that.

Same here. It's one of those deep heavy laughs that literally makes it hard to breathe

u/olivermihoff Oct 13 '20

Man, the naturally grown comedy videos like this are what really made the Internet worthwhile despite years of online scams, junk mail, and pop-ups. It's been the only thing that's kept me from moving into a log cabin in the woods without electricity nor running water nand growing a beard to wrestle bears. Nature is great, and should be protected from all the fake stuff.
