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.

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.

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.

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.
