LOL ?

[fastbob]

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 .

I love well timed non-verbal humour, so the mug gag made me chuckle.

On non verbal humour I loved the film The Plank still makes me laugh a classic.

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!!
