Once upon a time, I saw my brother get hit by a very fast-moving ski lift chair in Colorado and it was probably the greatest thing that’s ever happened to me…

It was seriously hilarious and it still makes me laugh even though it happened about 20 years ago.

What’s the funniest thing you’ve ever seen?

AskReddit users shared the stories that still make them laugh.

1. Real smooth.

“At work in the lab one day, a senior coworker is up on a ladder and tries to pull a 60lbs power supply unit that costs $70,000 out of the rack we were repairing. Thing falls 7 feet, annihilates a table and another 35k with of equipment and slams on the floor. Coworker looks down from his perch and says, “Cha Cha real smooth” and goes back to work. I f**king lost it.

(I work for a multi billion dollar defense company that had about 50 replacements in the back room. No big deal. But his absolute do-not-give-a-f**k response nailed me.)”

2. Not Superman.

“In high school one of my friends lived on a cul-de-sac, so this became the nexus of a bunch of gatherings.

Our senior year a bunch of us are over there and came up with a really dumb way to entertain ourselves.

In our infinite wisdom we decide that one person is going to climb into the bed of a pickup truck and hold the handle of a little red wagon, which will be on the ground behind the truck. People will ride in the wagon and hold on for their dear lives while the truck goes up and down the deserted street.

Surprisingly, this does not end in immediate catastrophe. For the most part people just sit in the wagon and are pulled gently along, or crouched so they could bail quickly when things went inevitably awry. That is, until the foreign exchange student decides he’s going to take a turn.

He wants to do something more impressive, so he lies on his stomach on top of the wagon, taking a Superman pose. The guy in the truck bed obviously thinks it’s a bad idea, but he shrugs his shoulders and tells the driver to hit it.

The driver accelerates and the wagon immediately slides out from under our poor foreign friend. For a split second it seems gravity itself is shocked at our stunning stupidity and he hangs in the air, one arm still magnificently outstretched, his other hand on his hip. Then the forces of nature recover their senses and the guy falls flat on the ground.

Fortunately he was left with nothing more serious than a few scrapes for his trouble, and we stopped doing this stupid stunt before a funny story became a hospital trip.”

3. Got your words mixed up.

“We were bringing lunch to the teachers at school and my daughter announced that we made a special soup for Mr. S because he’s a virgin.

Mr. S is a vegan.”

4. Those things are dangerous.

“I was walking through downtown when there was a Segway tour going on across the street. One of the people in the Segway tour lost control and slammed into a pole. I still laugh uncontrollably when I think about it.”

5. A terrible person.

“Posting for my mom, unfortunately I didn’t exist yet when this happened.

So my aunt (mom’s sister) is an incredibly awful person. She has a voice like Ricky’s mom in Better Off D**d, was horribly spoiled by her grand parents (first girl born in 4 generations), and just vindictively mean. She’s the kind of person who goes well out of her way to demean people and convince people everyone hates you. She’s also 5’2” and over 300 lbs.

One day at a family gathering, she goes to sit on a wicker chair. The chair disintegrates under her. She then, while still on the floor, angrily looks at her mother (owner of the once chair) and yells, “what the hell is wrong with your chair?” My mom had to run out of the room she was laughing/crying so hard.”

6. Not gonna work out.

“I was desperate for cash in my late teens so I took a 12 hour shift in a banana packing factory. I ended up working on a conveyor belt – picking the good ‘nanas, throwing away the bad ones…you get the gist.

About half-way through the most soul-sucking, mind-f**king, monotonous working day of my life, I witnessed a man carrying a box of bananas slipping on an escaped banana on the floor, throwing the whole box of lovely yellow fruit into the air and crashing epically into a 6 foot stack of banana boxes.

Naturally, I buckled like a broken stool, rolling around the factory floor p**sing my sides. When I managed to compose myself, I realised that no one else had laughed, nor even so much as looked up from the hypnotic conveyor belt.

I decided factories weren’t for me and went back to the books.”

7. Hallelujah!

“I was a Walgreens cashier in an extremely religious neighborhood full of rich old Baptists.

One day a woman comes in to buy cigarettes and is something like three dollars short. She starts digging around in her giant Mary poppins bag, holding up the line. Wastes a good five minutes on it before she dumps the entire thing out on my counter. There, in the detritus of a middle aged housewife’s bag, was a crumpled up $10 bill.

She yells “Hallelujah! The lord is lookin’ out for me!” And hands me the folded up bill.

I unfold it, and it’s one of those fake tens people give waiters as tips. The ones with the Bible quotes on the inside.

Me: God wants you to quit smoking.”

8. Touched by an angel.

“The lady in front of me did a yard sale while waiting in line for the ski lift. For those of you who don’t know, a yard sale in skiing is when you wipeout and loose all of your gear in the process. This lady was in front of me talking to her friend one moment and the next she had exploded with gloves, poles, helmet, goggles, and skis going all different directions.

Somehow it looked like her coat was trying to escape as well. I’ve never seen anything so unexpected, v**lent, and harmless at the same time. I had to get out of line until I caught my breath from laughing. Nothing caused it. She did not get touched by anything. She just went down hard completely out of the blue.”

9. This is awful and hilarious.

“My best friend used to fight in karate tournaments and was actually pretty good. One time there was no one in his age/belt class to fight so he was invited to fight in an exhibition fight with another kid who didn’t have anyone to fight.

Well, they were wearing head gear so you couldn’t really make out their facial features very well so my friend didn’t realize that he was fighting against a kid with Down’s Syndrome.

He beat the ever loving s**t out of this poor kid. The whole time people were telling him to take it easy and giving him dirty looks and s**t and he just kept on obliviously beating that kid’s a**.

To this day he’s still known as the guy who relentlessly beat up a disabled kid. He will never live it down as long as I’m alive.”

10. What the f**k?

“I am a northern lights tour guide. Was going for a hunt with a Spanish family, parents and maybe max 5 years old kid. Kid was talking of course only spanish for the whole night. Suddenly we see very beautiful and rapidly moving lights, something that even I don’t see often.

The kid suddenly yells with crystal clear english: “What the f**k?” Me and the parents both just lost it.”

11. Sounds painful.

“In grade 8 gym class, a kid clotheslined himself with a volleyball net. He ran face first into it and his legs went flying out from underneath him. It was like a fu**ing cartoon.”

12. Like a cartoon.

“A guy was sprinting down the hall in college, obviously in a hurry. Well, there was a floor mat right before the stairs at the end of the hall.

The mat slipped as soon as he ran on it so he lost his balance but because he has momentum he KEPT ON RUNNING up the stairs, trying to catch himself. SOMEHOW he recovered and just ran out of the building. I could not handle it.”

13. That is great.

“This kid was bugging my friend so she lunged at him like she was going to attack him. He turned to run and ran face first into a pole.

She started laughing and turned to run away because the teachers were headed our way and ran face first into another pole. Both ended up in the nurses office with matching bloody noses and I laughed so hard I had an asthma attack.”

14. Drunken shenanigans.

“This drunk dude at a bar was telling a group of us that there was a guy sitting in a chair outside staring him down. Our friend had poor eyesight, and it didn’t help that he was p**s drunk, but he was absolutely convinced that the guy outside wanted to fight him.

We looked outside onto the patio area, and sure enough, there was a “guy” in a chair with an evil look on his face, facing the window to the bar. I should also add that this was close to Halloween, and the “guy” sitting in the chair was a stuffed scarecrow with a pumpkin for a head, with a mean face drawn on it.

We almost let our friend loose on the thing, but it was f**king hilarious watching him rant how he’s going to f**king k**l the guy, and to watch his back because the scarecrow probably had friends with him.”

15. How is this even real?

“Once, during college, a group of us saw two blind people walk into each other, and one bounced off and landed in a trashcan. Obviously, this was a shock to both, and the trash can blind person shouted “What are you blind?!”, which was met with a very apologetic “…Yes?”

I will never laugh that hard again. Hell, I’m laughing at it again now just typing this.”

16. Dad and Pepper the cat.

“Probably only funny to me in the moment, but to this day one of the funniest things I’ve ever seen.

When I was a kid, we had a cat named Pepper. Pepper was in the front yard, hiding in a bush and darting her paw out at my dad, who was jumping back and forth around the bush, playing with her.

Little did he know, our neighbor was standing across the street, staring at him. Neighbor clearly could not see the cat and probably thought my dad had lost his mind.

The dramatic irony of the situation hit me all at once and had me in stitches. Dad is inexplicably dancing around a bush. Neighbor is puzzled. The image still gets me to this day.”

17. The pumpis.

“One time in 5th grade we had a discussion about the human body, and we got to the point how to pronounce the word penis. We all did good, except this one kid, Daniel. He tried to say it, but ended us saying “pumpis”.

Me and my friends we’re laughing so hard i almost peed myself. To this day, me and my friend still laugh at that moment LOL.”

18. Look out below!

“I work late nights at an on-campus bakery at my college, and it was the last night before winter break. Since there wasn’t a whole lot to do, we were just goofing off and being dumba**es (along with our manager). Our bakery is located inside of another building, and there’s a gigantic window where people inside the building can see into our bakery.

We were tossing around stale donuts, and as soon as this one guy walked by the window, my co worker chucks a donut at the window as hard as he can, and this guy jumps straight in the air, looks around, then finally realizes what happened. He just sort of stares at us, stunned, while we waved. I think I almost p**sed myself after he walked away.”

19. My abs hurt!

“We had a power outage at work, so they decided to send us home early. The daughter of the firm’s president was your stereotypical spoiled rich girl, and was probably a size 10 but was squeezing her a** into size 8 pants because she couldn’t accept she wasn’t a single digit size.

She got excited about going home and did a high kick. Her pants split from her knee all the way up the back of her a** with the most cartoonish RRRRRRIIIPPPPPP!

The look of shock and embarrassment on her face was worth the price of admission.

I was laughing so hard I fell on the floor. My abs hurt the following two days.”

20. Is this train moving?

“I was living in NYC and the city had just opened back up that day after a huge hurricane. I was waiting on a subway train and there were delays, obviously.

A man with a bike was huffing impatiently and craning his neck out the door. After a minute he started shouting to the conductor.

“EXCUSE ME! HELLO! IS THIS TRAIN LEAVING? EXCUSE ME! EXCUUUUSE ME!”

Everyone on the train started to give each other that look which says “ugh, this a**hole.” It was the day after a hurricane, what was he expecting? He kept shouting until he got an answer off the conductor that the train would not be moving.

“OKAY, THAT’S ALL I NEEDED TO KNOW, THAT’S ALL I NEEDED TO KNOW,” he replied and scooted off the train, dragging his bike up the stairs. The doors to the train immediately shut and the train departed the platform.

Everyone cheered, and I’m not kidding, they really did.”

21. The bullfrog.

“I was partying in Havasu with my buddy and walked in on him and a girl hooking up in our tent. No big deal, it was a big tent. I went to the other side, told them to ignore me (we were all really drunk) and laid down.

She got uncomfortable, and he walked her back to her campsite.

When he returned, he went to take a p**s outside of our tent, while talking to me through the wall of it.

I hear “uh oh” and I ask what’s up. He had started p**sing, but never took the condom off and it was filled like a water balloon hanging off of him.

We couldn’t stop laughing. I still refer to him as bullfrog, and this was over 20 years ago.”

22. On the cattle farm.

“I used to work on a cattle farm. A local fellow lent us a bull for some heifers, and claimed that he was a quiet, lovely boy.

He was not. He was angry, mean, and had a habit of trapping you in a cubicle, thus forcing you to climb out of the barn siding. We rang the neighbour and complained; he would have none of it.

Three months later the neighbour turned up to collect this bull, and confidently declared that it would remember him. He opened the yard gate, walked down the row of cubicles… and the bull appeared at the other end of the passage and began trotting towards him, tail swishing.

This man, without changing his gait or attitude, turned on his heel and marched right back out of the shed. It was a perfect example of forward to reverse motion without any pause. My boss and I were in tears from laughing.”

23. Horse s**t!

“Years ago, my younger brother was helping me wash my horse. He happened to be wearing slip on sandals with little holes perforated all over the soles of them (poor choice for being around a horse, I know).

Anyways, the grass was soaked from the water and my horse pooped…my brother stepped backwards into the poop, and it came gushing through the holes of his shoe and went all over his foot. Lol it still makes me laugh every time I think about that.”

24. Oh no!

“A few years ago, my entire extended family went to spread my grandmothers ashes at the beach and when we waded in about knee deep, my brother threw the ashes into the air instead of tipping them into the water. He got smacked with a face full of grandma, started crying, and then had to dive into a wave fully clothed to get her off of him.

He was 30 years old. It must have been 10 seconds in total, but I, a grown woman, peed myself laughing and it a fantastic send off for her.”

25. I need to see The Burger King.

“I was with my best friend at Burger King and while we were eating some mid 40’s woman was screaming at this small, very pregnant, and very mad 20ish year old manager and the woman was DEMANDING to speak to The Burger King.

I have never laughed so hard in my life.”

26. Hilarious and terrifying.

“Two friends and I were walking home from school one day when we stumbled upon a wheeled cabinet on somebody’s curb, likely going to scrap.

One of my friends, who is massive in height and width, decided to body-board the cabinet onto the street for all of a few seconds before having it collapse under him. Side panels shot out; screws and all. Wheels absolutely blew up.

It was like watching a firework malfunction.

He fell flat onto the wreckage while my other buddy and I almost ACTUALLY d**d of laughter. I mean that I laughed so hard, I wasn’t able to breathe and began panicking because very little air was getting through.

I managed to scare myself back to a calm state, and practically crawled home.

Hilarious and terrifying.”

27. Next time, close the sunroof.

“Was stopped at a light years and years ago and this dude is riding his bike over a median in the road, huge freakin median like a foot high or more. He ends up just totally eating s**t right over the handlebars face first onto the pavement. My friend and I were baked off our a**es and just d**d laughing, and this dude gives us the s**ttiest look ever.

Didn’t realize the sunroof was open and he could hear us mocking him.”

28. A bloody scene.

“Worked at a pizza place, new guy knocked a bucket of sauce off a table. It was just me and this guy working that day, I walk in the back to see him covered almost head to toe in sauce, with a look on his face like he had just got back from ‘Nam. Sauce everywhere, the ceiling, walls just all over the place. Dude was so upset about it. Told him to go home and change while I cleaned up.

I felt so bad for him because he legit thought he was gonna get fired. But the look on his face as he was standing there looking like an extra from Carrie was f**king priceless.”

29. He showed you!

“My friend was showering in the dorms and some guys stole all of his clothes and towel and left one sock for him.

He emerges smiling wearing the sock….. on his left foot.”

And hilarity ensued!

Those were great! How about you? What do you think is the funniest thing you’ve ever seen in your whole life?
