This happens to me today while watching "Who's Line Is It Anyway." I used to think that show was stupid, but my friend made me watch at his house and changed my opinion. Every week, those 4 guys (and occasionally some girl) would fool around on stage, doing goofy acts, all improvising (sp), it's great! I laugh so hard at that show that my face starts to hurt, jaw muscle aching, skin on my face seems to stretch a bit. Stomach and side feels like it's going to explode.


Have any of you ever laugh so hard it hurts?

edit: for spelling, 'cause i'm retarded...

Several times it actually was painful, but I couldnt stop. Most of the time though I just cant breathe. I miss those days when I use to laugh like that, doesnt seem to happen anymore.

Ace_O_Spades

I once laughed so hard that i thought i was going to die... i hadnt taken a breath in quite a long time before i finally uttered "please stop" to the people who were just ripping on one of my friends

we were very high

I have laughed so hard that my sides hurt a number of different times. It has happened only rarely during a movie or show though, it generally involves spontaneous humor from friends/people.

Flyguy

Not in a long time. I could use a good laugh actually.

present_future

This thread reminds me of what happened tonight. One of my friends just got her wisdom teeth removed a couple of days ago, so she was still recovering. Whenever someone would say or do something funny she would laugh a little, and then complain that we were putting her through pain!

I've laughed so hard I couldn't breathe, realized I couldn't breathe, but still can't stop laughing.

One day an Englishman, a Scotsman, and an Irishman walked into a pub together. They each bought a pint of Guinness. Just as they were about to enjoy their creamy beverage, three flies landed in each of their pints. The Englishman pushed his beer away in disgust. The Scotsman fished the fly out of his beer and continued drinking it, as if nothing had happened. The Irishman, too, picked the fly out of his drink but then held it out over the beer and yelled "SPIT IT OUT, SPIT IT OUT, YOU BASTARD!"

amonkie

happened to me tonight before/after watching King Arthur. I wasn't laughing hard enough to start the tears coming down my face and making my weird croaking noise, but my cheeks and sides were just aching. Good times.

Oh yeah....done that. But I have also laughed so much I peed myself once, but was after I had a child and is DEFINITELY a valid argument for pelvic floor exercises.

Once I took acid and smiled so much my face ached for days. That is indeed an odd feeling.

Last time I laughed as hard as I possibly could was when I was in an odd state of mind and, several years ago, the Sprite commercial about Sunshine Orange Drink or something similarly titled came on, and the logo jumps off the bottle to the tune of "THere's a ray of sunshine in every drop!" and it degenerates into 10 seconds of the logo merrily chasing the screaming terrified kids, mother, and dog with snazzy slogans coming incessently. Ahh twas great. As for painful laughs, I've had probably 2-ish in the past several years.

Madd

Last time i laughed that hard was at a mates 19th a few months back.
We had all had a few drinks and this one really funny guy was playing with the cigar caseing, pretending it was a dildo, and doing stupid things like walking up behind people and poking them from behind, or slowly passing it forward between their shoulder and head until they see it out of the corner of their eye and jump a mile in the air.

Such a good laugh

hmm... you people need to laugh more. this kind of thing is a weekly occurrence for me(just about). i cant name any specific times really, it just happens a lot.

Polyphobic

Last time was with Who's Line Is It Anyway. The best time was with 2 cousins watching Up In Smoke for the first time smoking a 1/2 oz of weed.

While playing Metal Gear Solid, I was severely sleep-deprived, and the sight of my character ducking under a wet box that he had over his head and the guards who had been shooting me suddenly looking puzzled made me laugh so hard I burst a blood vessel in my nose. I'm not kidding, I was that tired.

Trisk

Yes. Pretty much every time I have large quantities of sugar, chocolate or caffiene, I start laughing at the most random things and can't stop. One time after going for ice cream I had to stop in the middle of a crowded street in New York City and sit down because I was laughing so hard at absolutely nothing.

This also happens when I'm severely sleep deprived or high.

ShaniFaye

I was like that the first time I saw Eddie Izzards Dressed to Kill...and the 2nd time and the 3rd time and the 50th time hahahaha

Cake or Death?
Cake please....well we're all OUT of cake, we only had 3 bits and we didnt expect such a rush
So my choice is OR DEATH?

I must say probably the first time I read ShaniFaye's signature I almost burst out into serious laughter, then I thought "I love you ShaniFaye" I just didn't say it out loud, didn't want anyone to think I'm a freak.


Actually I week or so ago I went to eat lunch with a friend and he had the most gawd awfully wrinklest t-shirt on and I was ragging him on it. In his great comeback and we were at a crowded restaraunt he looked at my shirt and saw a big crease in it. He looks up at me and with the straightest face says "Well you shirt looks like a big (at that precise moment all the noise in the restarunt gets real quiet) VAGINA!"

Oh good gawd to see the look on everyone's face. Gawd we just burst into teary laughter for about 5 minutes.

When I laugh *really* hard I can't breathe and my chest hurts like hell. I do whatever I can to stop laughing at that point, because it's physically very painful...

I love it when that happens and it's in a place where it's totally inappropriate (i.e. church, a business meeting, etc)...

You try to stop but someone else looks at you and holy crap your laughing uncontrollably again...gawd that's GREAAAAT fun!!!

I had that a few months ago in a sales meeting. It was a very heated discussion about someone named Peter Schwarz. One of the guys stood up and said that if we don't get action soon, he's gonna "Pound Peter Schwarz". I seriously laughed so hard I couldn't breathe, for a solid five plus minutes!

It was one of those little Beavis and Butthead moments that I couldn't help.

A few years ago I watched a video of Billy Connolly at the Royal Albert Hall. I remember having to crawl outside the room because I was laughing so much it was hurting.

onodrim

Yep, happens to me all the time. The worst part though isn't the pain from laughing, I always end up getting hiccups for at least an hour afterwards, and that's the painful part!

It's the worst when I start laughing, can't stop, and have trouble breathing.

Man, that really does suck.

It hurts, and you can't breathe... You feel that you may actually bust a lung or something... Yeah. I love and hate that at the same time.

Also, if you are with someone you are self-conscious around, and your face is all red, and you look like an idiot, it’s much worse. Especially if you fart, which I never do btw…

optik_nerve

I laughed so hard just a couple of minutes ago while watching this video.

Maybe it was so funny because it was 4:08 in the morning

These are really funny too.

Picture this:

Sunday morning, around 2:30AM. My friend doing Celine Dion's "My Heart Will Go On" in a somewhat shaky Scottish accent (he was really drunk). 2 really large black men sit at the table in the front with their long island iced teas. My friend decides to sing to the largest of these men. Oh, and drink from his straw. Luckly the guy laughed it off, if we were about 2 miles to the west he probably would have shot my friend.

I don't think I've ever laughed so hard when he sang, complete with chest thumping Celine Dion antics "Near... far... wherever you are..." to the large black man.

Good times.

Oh, and earlier he sang "Lady in Red" and wandered around the bar looking for such a lady. Wouldn't you know it, the only person wearing red was a woman who was about 6' and weighed about 300lbs. Awesome.

Many times. It's the best kind of laughing!

There's this one time that really sticks out for me.

I'm at my best friend's apartment in the city. Well, it's not his apartment, it's his grandmother's apartment, who has migrated to Florida for the winter. It's him, me, and my other best friend. I've decided to stay over and just go to work from there in the morning.

We're hanging out, doing nothing in particular. My buddy has a porno lying around and puts it in. It's on in the background, on mute, while we're talking. (this sounds fairly homoerotic but I can assure you it isn't.)

Anyway, my mother calls me on my cell phone. So I start talking to her. My buddy goes to the television and blasts the volume. So I'm trying to talk to my mother, and all that's being heard is "Oh! OH! OH! PUT IT IN MY ASS! PUT IT IN MY ASS!!!!"

I want to be pissed at him, but I'm laughing so fucking hard that it's hurting me, and I'm crying. I frantically run to the television, but it's one of those really old televisions where the knobs are all fucked up, and in my state, I can't figure out how to turn down the volume, or turn the television off.

All the while, my mother is on the phone, getting angrier and angrier, going, "Hello? What's going on? Who's over there?" I can't even respond to her because I'm laughing so fucking hard. She winds up hanging up on me. I called her back about 10 minutes later when I had finally regained composure...from a different room, of course.

The next day, I had a cough from laughing so hard. It was unbelievably funny to us.
