I really should have been horrified today when I discovered that my Brother-in Law had posted a video of me singing karaoke on face book but actually I'm cool about this. As well as being evident that I can't sing and am two stone overweight, its also rather funny.
Its strange isn't it that some people who are naturally very funny, cannot understand why people find them so amusing! They are normally very highly creative people with fragile egos, I'm never sure whether to tell someone they're funny or not, in case they take it the wrong way but I really do mean it as a compliment, its indeed a great asset to have.
If I find someone or something very funny,there is no containing me,I will just erupt with laughter until tears run down my cheeks while my friend/colleague will just stare back looking bewildered. If I am lucky though the person concerned will join in and hopefully, see the funny side of things. It can sometimes be rather 'trying' though when you are doing your best to be serious in a particular situation and a sudden notion of a sense of the ridiculous rears its face and you can feel every ounce of your self control losing its battle to contain itself. The worst place this ever happened to me was when I was serving on a jury, during my twenties. The accused, a foreign chap, kept getting his English metaphors mixed-up, of course, the defence leapt upon this situation, cajoling him and making him worse, in the end he developed a terrible stammer and the case had to be adjourned for a while. At this point, I was killing myself with laughter, another girl similar age was shaking all over, we both couldn't wait to get outside and let rip much to our relief!
People who I think are funny are Laurel and Hardy, Captain Manwaring from Dads Army, Su Pollard, Celia Imrie, Mel from Benidorm, Julie Walters, Dawn French, Basil Brush
Shows - Certain Victoria Wood sketches,Young Dracula, Dads Army, Hi De Hi, Carry On Films, Benidorm. Are you Being Served. just to name a few
