"Very Funny 'Story' From the Peterborough Standard, 1979. Goes off on something of a tangent, let's say."

This sort of descent into gibberish stuff just sets me straight off. I'm in work, I've got through the first couple of paragraphs and I can't look at the rest, I know I'll crack up.

Ah, for some reason I have that saved in my documents folder but I could quite recall where it came from.

It's brilliant isn't it, like some kind of dadaist beat poetry.

[Guy]

Some theories as to how this may have happened in a time of manual typesetting are here (and in the comments), if you like that sort of thing.

I was crying through most of this. Especially, "But due to budget cuts..." and patient rehabilitation light saber fights.

The escalation of absurdity is absolutely incredible.

The SNL memory in Michael Palin's first book of diaries about "masturbating with an arm covered in shit" killed me for a good few minutes.

[Famous Mortimer]

Remembering then watching the Sparacus "Ben Chatham" videos.

I was a member of Outpost Gallifrey when sparacus was first touting his insane nonsense, and everyone thought he was crazy then. It's unbelievable that it's snowballed this far.

This one absolutely slayed me, helped by the flat monotone delivery.

The Rob and Rani videos make me howl as well. As you say, the robotic delivery makes it.

Most of what Rob says is absurdly sarcastic and disdainful, so the precise, flat way it's delivered cracks me up. Also half the time, Rani's 'dialogue' is from posts that aren't part of a discussion, so Rob will go off on a ridiculously protracted rant, and then Rani will carry on as if he's not even spoken.

Last time I checked in with the Sparaverse, he'd not had the other author do a stealth trolling job, so I wanted to read those now. Gawd bless him.

Laughed uncontrollably (the best variety of laugh) for a good five minutes after/while watching this clip from Celebrity Big Brother that everybody is presumably already aware of: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=paPIXbNeNuc

Then laughed uncontrollably for another five after reading this humble sentence by our very own up_the_hampipe:

I can't believe they lifted the duvet to see if David Gest was dead.

[BritishHobo]

It's utterly demented. It's proper fucking farce, it really wouldn't be out of place in an episode of Frasier. It should not be funny, because it's a woman finding out about her ex-husband's death and then having to weather a playground spat with a shrieking opponent, but it fucking is.

^ just been reading this (last two posts) , our BB  thread plus a full description of the insanity elsewhere and mid reading their comments my brain just decided to troll me & make it extra hysterical by playing earworms of Bowie's 1984 & Big Brother

...a glass asylum
With just a hint of mayhem?

eta: and yeah, it's fucking hilarious (just reading about it - not watched the footage)

eta2: before that was the Viz Raj Persued featuring Little & Large, cannon & Ball and the krankies torture article over in the Syd & Eddie thread (that thread is wonderful),

and meant to post earlier yesterday Thurs: reading on facebook - just posted by Adrian Belew, of Frank Zappa's reaction to David Bowie wanting to poach him for his own tour. They somehow ended up in the same restaurant in Berlin, Bowie was being friendly/polite & Zappa just kept responding with "Fuck you Captain Tom."

also had a moment of wandering into cuntydom/cab(tag) mode on finding "Richard Manuel was hard... having caught him at an end of his rope performance a few days earlier" posted in a deadly serious musician deaths that made you sad thread elsewhere hilariously massively inappropriate wording eta3 & starting thinking 'better than catching at the end of his rope a few days later...' . I balem sleep deprivation & Bowie grief / disbelief etc.

Scott struggling to do an improvised current-affairs monologue after time-travelling back to a 1960s chat show on Comedy Bang Bang.

"So Russell Crowe sucks..."
(audience member amidst boos) "That baby over in Australia? LEAVE HIM ALONE!"

[BritishHobo]

Crying at their parody of a kid's caper movie, with Scott looking after his uncle's talking dogs, and the villains who're after the dogs' collars.

'My uncle Deckhart's supposed to be back in three... two... one... one minute from now!'

This etsy shop made me laugh when I first saw it, though it does take a sinister when you realise someone bought an Anne Sexton Doll.

It's strangely reminiscent of Ash Wednesday:

Because I do not hope to turn again
Because I do not hope
Because I do not hope to turn
Desiring this man's gift and that man's scope


But it's much funnier.

a (fake edit) terrifying  looking totally demented puppet & a floating box of rice crispies (funnier without the sound), the bored & crying kids in amongst the crowd for the opening song, the scary clown listening for Snap, Crackle and pop...

This thing of beauty from Limmy's Show, series 1:

Spoiler alert

I knew there was a shock-reveal coming, and felt genuinely tense, so when it came in all its superlative daftness I felt "an immense slackening ache" and laughed all the way through the next sketch. Probably wouldn't have cried if I hadn't spent the afternoon doing my tax return, but still, hats off to Limmy.

A smashing discovery, thanks. There's so much flavour to drink in from this clip alone, but amongst what has already been mentioned, one highlight for me is the fact that Buffalo Bob doesn't bother to put on a different voice for the puppet and sounds as though he's hoofing the dialogue on the spot. ''Ohh yes, that's right, kids, ahah, Rice Krispies, they're...good to eat and...good to listen to, haha, yes''.

https://youtu.be/QepdmeaKoRM?t=9m34s - more golden unintentional comedy.

[BritishHobo]

I feel pretty vindicated by that kid crying, because I found the first clip horrifying rather than funny. I know it's old hat to talk about puppets being creepy but fucking hell that thing is sinister.

Haa. Marc Maron on Tough Crowd trying to tediously shoe-horn some stand-up bit into the conversation "What if Jesus had gotten old.." Patrice: UGH. MARC SHUT UP!
