My cousin and I can do that to each other on a regular basis! And the best second best laugh is the one that immediately follows when you take the deep breath and it does make noise!!
Hahaha something has to be really funny to get to that point. Sometimes something is so funny you can’t even breathe, and once in a while it gets so hard to breathe you have that panicked feeling like when you stay underwater too long. Love it.
Mel, it’s true, snorting is kind of bad. But WHY, I ask you that. WHY. Usually it’s the result of some intense laughing! Sorta like peeing your pants a little bit.
Great! I love it!
There are so many things all around us which can provide happiness, fun and a sense of accomplisment. If only we can be more aware of
these simple ‘boosters’
Oh man, I did that just reading some of the comments to this one.
I have this hyena sort of laugh where it sounds like I desperately need a drink of water and a lie down. And then it travels up the octave and suddenly into the realm of silence and I just sit there and cry tears of amusement. Then of course, the inevitable raking gasp that sounds like you’ve just swum 5 laps under water in an Olympic-sized swimming pool before realising that, yes, you actually do need to breathe.
Generally, the noise that I make sounds so hilarious to me that I do it all over again until I’m slightly incapacitated and my stomach muscles feel like I’ve been at the gym for hours.
The best emotion ever, when it just rushes your body and nothing can come out! Although I feel like I did 50 situps after, not to mention I dont think I breath.
I did that just today. I found a link to your site and have been reading since #635. When I got to the one about farting in front of people you love, that’s when I laughed so hard it didn’t make a sound. Thanks for the AWESOME site!

I laugh at my humor blog at my sense of humor which most don’t get :)

I have a love/hate relationship with laughing this hard. On the one hand, it makes me feel amazingly happy. On the other… I can’t breathe.

Haha, exactly. :)

This is my most favorite feeling in the entire world. =)

Ashlee, we walk together.

I just don’t believe this could be true.

That picture made me laugh almot that hard.
June 30, 2009 at 3:07 am
Aw, haven’t had that happen in a long time, now that I think about it…
June 30, 2009 at 9:25 am
That is the best type of laugh :)
June 30, 2009 at 9:45 am
Things that are also awesome: Laughing babies.
AWESOME!

I have one of those laughs where I do this a LOT and I love it. Thinking about laughing makes me want to laugh! :)

This is the best because it leaves you feeling genuinely happy for a good few minutes afterward.
July 2, 2009 at 10:32 pm
Ian, you’re rocking that post-laugh glow. That’s a great glow.

I love that feeling–makes me happy just thinking about it-
Feels like a great internal workout for your spirit

Oh yeah, the SNORT. Miss HLT, you totally called it.
June 30, 2009 at 3:46 pm
It’s been a while since I’ve done that. At least 2 days. I’m due!

Then again, dying from laughter wouldn’t be such a bad way to go. I want that on my gravestone. “Laughed really, really hard. We’ll miss you.”
June 30, 2009 at 7:08 pm
Awesome feeling, but immediately following, with the quick intake of air, I snort. Bad. And I keep going.
Positive: it makes other people laugh sans sound.

Oh, I see now.
June 30, 2009 at 7:20 pm
Holy crap! I do this all the time, seriously. This is the best laughter ever! This is how I laugh when I think something is absolutely hilarious!
July 1, 2009 at 4:48 pm
Double-edged sword… wonderful until the onslaught of a frantic peeing sensation, and then panic takes over.
July 9, 2009 at 11:00 pm
i just love the irony of how everyone says LOL to non-humorous things, yet it’s in the most hilarious, ROFL momments that you laugh silently
July 12, 2009 at 9:33 am
Golden days r gone dear friend…..Life is getting worst day by day……But anyway this snap did made my day……Simply awesome :)

this is my absolute favourite – it ends up with your cheeks and your stomach muscles quivering. best feeling!
August 27, 2009 at 8:16 am
Usually I will end up with a stomach ache and probably tears as well… That’s just so great…
September 14, 2009 at 5:42 pm
This is especially great when matched with spontaneously foot stamping.
The absolute top is when you just fall over and roll on the floor.

Gotta love the small things. XD
