25 Inappropriate Times People Were Overcome With Laughter
Laughs, real ones at least, are somewhat unique among human sounds in that they’re involuntary. If you can crack a good enough joke, even your most sworn enemy can’t fully contain a small chuckle. It’s reactive, not proactive, and sometimes you don’t have a choice in the matter.
Of course, wordplay isn’t the only thing that provokes laughter. Sometimes, it’s not even something that, by description, is particularly funny. Overload the human brain with any emotion, and sometimes it’ll spit out laughter in a panic, regardless of how inappropriate the current situation is to greet with giggles.
Making it worse, laughter is like eating Pringles, or peeing: once you start, it’s hard to stop. And usually, knowing you shouldn’t be laughing has the opposite effect, as the conflicts of emotion piling up in your brain just pump out louder laughs.
It’s a helpless situation to be in, but a very fun one to hear about. Thanks to a bunch of Redditors kind enough to share the times their brain made the wrong choice of sound, we can do just that.
