I Ran Head First Into A Door

[Mr Light]

Last night in the name of physical comedy and entertaining my GF I ran headfirst into a partially open door, thinking that my head would just push it back painlessly. Unfortunately the door just bwonged and knocked me back blessing me with a horrible throbbing in my forehead! I don't know what took precedence, the laughing or the moans of pain. Hurt like hell the rest of the night! But she laughed her ass off, and that's the important thing

Has anyone else made a needless sacrifice in the name of getting a laugh?

It's a shame you can't just come right out and admit she beats you up. Blaming the door is just ... sad.

The other day my fiancee and I were shopping for her new shoes. Just before she removed a shoe to try on a new one, she made a joking comment about having stinky feet. As soon as she removed her shoe, I made a loud sniffing sound, and then dropped to the floor as if I'd passed out.

I think I was more amused than she was.

Went to get my eyes checked and my glasses upgraded. The eye-doctor did her thing and sent me out to the fitter.

Imagine a blond blue-eyed Russian-sounding chick who is Werry Serious. I'm going through the frames, she's trying to steer me twords the high-end frames.

I walk over to the "Cheap" section and grab a set of thick black plastic frames and shout "Oooh NERD FRAMES! PERFECT!"

She doubled over laughing, slapping her knees and everything.

Her coworker behind the counter taps me on the shoulder and asks "What did you SAY to her? I've been trying to get her to smile for months!"


...yes I ended up with the nerd-frames, that's what I wear at work.

Intentionally? No.

But, I've often bungled over my own two feet and ended up laughing about it - along with everyone else within viewing distance.

Same here. I swear my feet either don't hear or don't listen to what my eyes and brain are trying to tell them.

I've gotten very good at pretending that I did something on purpose.

 

[auntiehill]

My long and ridiculous story of how I broke my foot and ankle made many people laugh, but it certainly wasn't something I did on purpose.

However, there is this: my husband thinks it's cute to jump out at me, like an attacker, in an attempt to "flirt" (yeah, that's what we'll call it). I was in bed, tired and just about to drift off, when he yells, takes a running leap, and dives onto the bed---as if to jump right ON me. I reacted purely on instinct, screamed and punched him right in the eye. HARD.

Needless to say, he wasn't much in the mood after that.

I laughed like hell, though, if for no other reason that I now know that, if properly motivated, I can totally take him out.

And Mr Light, you wonder why you have difficulty understanding dialogue on TV?

Doesn't seem to be a mystery any more.

My husband does that too.

... Maybe, he'll stop if I should punch him in the eye.

I fell off a roof.

I fell down a flight of concrete and metal stairs in front of a lot of people. Very embarrassing.

Did you come out okay? When I fell off the roof I landed in the bushes and got hit on the head with my flashlight as it rolled off the roof after me, but other than a scrape and bonk on the head I was fine. Well...fine as I'll ever be.

Mostly...I tore up both legs below the knees, but I was fortunate enough to not knock my head against all the super hardness surrounding me.

My left leg leaked a clear liquid for 4 months afterward. No one knows why or what it was (even doctors).

 

[RAMA]

All the time! One of my favorites was when I was walking through a store parking lot with my girlfriend at the time and as we came up behind a large RV that was backing out, I feigned horror and put my hands to my head like it was going to hit something. Both the driver and my wife (oops, gf at the time) were in hysterics after she discovered it was all just a joke. It could have gone badly though..

Not intentionally...but I'm such a klutz that I start laughing before anyone else does. I actually have fallen up the stairs (tripped and fell forward while walking upstairs)...that was pretty funny.

 

[RAMA]

One time I intentionally fell out of bed for a laugh....well a few years later, I was tired late one night and had forgotten we moved our bed, and well, you guessed it, I totally missed the bed in the dark. My wife couldn't stop laughing.

Once, a few years ago, I had to light a candle for a National Honor Society induction ceremony. I didn't realize that I had to reach over one that was already lit to light mine. My sleeves were a bit loose that day...yeah. The audience thought it was hilarious. After I put the fire out, I thought it was pretty funny too.

I'm a klutz in general though, so there are many more times that I've done something like walk into a door...or trip over a microphone cord...that has produced laughter.

Not really overly funny, but the other day I was helping my kiddo out in the shower (he needs help due to his handicap), and I leaned down fast to catch something falling to the floor and hit my head on the washingmashine edge.
It burnt like fire I tell you, and I just sat down outside the bathroom going "oooOUUUUWWW" until the boyfriend came and put a cold cloth on my bumpy forehead. The kiddo thought it was comedy gold ofcourse.

I fell up some stairs on a cold, rainy November day. Unfortunately, it wasn't very funny even in retrospect 'cause I was in pain for weeks after that!

Then again, back in '94 I fell down a flight of concrete and metal stairs and tore up my legs pretty bad.

Not a fan of the falling...I'll leave that to Dick van Dyke and Chevy Chase.
