1. Italian Greyhounds.
What ridiculous little creatures. There’s two of them that live in my street and every time I see them I start laughing uncontrollably. They’re just perpetually confused. It’s hilarious.
2. Curling.
Easily my favourite winter Olympic sport. The best bit is how serious the players are. It’s such a mind numbingly stupid sport but I love watching it. I swear when Smaggle becomes an empire, I’m sponsoring a curling team.
3. Watch Advertisements.
I’m consistently amused at how badly advertising execs try to get a watch and a famous face in the same photo. They rarely succeed.
4. New Zealand Accents
It’s super immature of me, I know. My best mate is from NZ and it just never gets old hearing her call my partner ‘Bin‘, asking me to get her a ‘bear‘ at the pub and saying words I’ve never heard of like ‘ranch slider’ (sliding door) and ‘bach‘ (holiday house). ‘Jandals‘ and ‘chilly bin‘ will also give me a good twenty minute giggle.
5. Goths in Summer
Hilarious. Goths eating kid food is also amazing. I once saw a full on goth guy walking around the Royal Easter Show EATING FAIRY FLOSS!!! I can’t tell you why this amuses me but seeing goths do ordinary things really tickles me.
What weird everyday things make you laugh?

This owner of an NZ accent went curling on the weekend (outdoor rink an hour from home)! We took a chilly bin of “bear” but didn’t wear jandals (too cold for those shenanigans)

When people put headphones in their ears before plugging it into their iPod…. I NEVER do it because I think it looks ridiculous!!
-
Really? That’s strangely specific…
-
Hey, you asked for weird!!
-
Well sometimes I out my headphones in my ears to kind of ‘hold’ them while I plug them into my iPad. I feel like you’re judging me now! π

This NZer is now trying to figure out how you pronounce beer aka bear… lol
I still remember visiting LA when I was a teen and people always asking me if I was Australian… horrified NO’s were answered every time… How can they confuse us… lol
-
It’s like bee-yah. Instead of bare like NZ. π
I get asked if I’m from NZ all the time OS as well. I think it’s more offensive for you guys than us. We’re the America and you’re the Canada. π-
Haha.. well I am a proud Canadian then π
-
Really? I live in the states and have never gotten mistaken for a NZer, but people think I’m British all the time.
I hope the NZ thing happens to me one day and the person saying it is a Flight of the Concords fan and when I correct them they reply with “oh yeah, I thought you sounded a little bit evil”.

Or humping anything really.

I’m so glad you brought up this watch thing. I saw Leonardo’s ad last week and commented to Mr SY that this must be a new trend we need to get on board with. Apparently watches are not for wearing on wrists π
-
It’s so silly. The very worst culprits are the race car drivers!

I remember watching curling once as a kid and thinking, “who thought this up? Surely they were drunk when they came up with this sport?”
I love watching people who don’t ordinarily eat with chopsticks attempt to eat with chopsticks. Also, when elderly people swear.
-
Oh that’s a great one! Especially adults because they really should know better.

Yes yes yes yes yes! I want an Italian greyhound so bad, I mean, I’d constantly be smiling, it would get away with anything, because I’d look at it and be look “awww, look at you!”.
I spent a month in New Zealand, I had to have a few things explained to me, including jandals! I also just watched a season of a NZ tv show over a couple of days, and ended up dreaming in a New Zealand accent.-
I’ve started speaking in a NZ accents just from spending too much time with my bFF.

I saw Goths sunbathing in the park t’other day. I nearly had a cardiac arrest from the giggling.
-
Seriously, that shit makes me laugh. I saw a goth ironing a tutu in a costume shop once. I rode on that for about a week!

Dogs with ‘people’ names and also dogs wearing clothes cracks me up.
-
Oh I LOVE that! Like Alan and Bill right?
-
Exactly! Or a play on words. There’s a corgi on the Internet called ‘Corgnelius’. Funny name + dress ups. Amazing.
-
Reminds me of that YouTube video of the squirrel in the grass saying…Alan Alan Alan Alan. Cracks me up every time, especially when I meet someone called Alan.

I so agree on the watch thing, I always think those Tag Heuer ads look so dumb. The worst part is why can’t they just wear the watch on their wrist? It’s not like their wrists are out of the shot or something..
-
Race car drivers are THE WORST! Longines are bad cuprite of the wearing the watch on your hand style ads.
