fastbob Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 LOL . One of the most irritating Social Media expressions . But what actually makes you laugh out loud ? Apart from people falling over and farting , preferably simultaneously , what do you find genuinely funny in the field of entertainment ? If I'm perfectly honest , very little passes the LOL test these days . I still can't get enough of the Ricky Gervais , Steven Merchant and of course Karl Pilkington podcasts even though they are years old now . Recently though I've stumbled upon Count Arthur Strong . I haven't watched a whole show but there are loads of clips on YouTube and yes , I have laughed out loud . See what you think . 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mississippi Bullfrog Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 I love well timed non-verbal humour, so the mug gag made me chuckle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The radio show was the original and started 17 years ago. But going further back I always thought it quite tragic that he got beaten to the lead role in Dr No by that amateur Sean Connery. The Daleks wouldn’t have stood a chance!! Not to mention that bloody stupid talking Lama!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
