We laugh a lot in our house.
Mostly because my kids are insane, but that’s not what I’m talking about today.
Seriously: THEY ARE INSANE. Send help. Please?
They can be cranky or sad or mid-brawl over who got to be Player One on Wii last time, but if any of the following occur, they will immediately start laughing.
First comes the giggle.
Then the belly laugh, during which they fall over, usually on top of one another or somehow onto my neck.
Then, eventually, the screams that they are going to pee their pants.
It’s a good time.
1. The word “toilet,” for any reason. Particularly hilarious when used in song, or when substituted in a common catch-phrase, such as “Let’s rock and TOILET! HA! HA! HA! HA!”
2. The back of the Cheez-It box. My kids get into a passionate debate over which is funnier: the moustached cheese or the one with a binky. Thoughts?
3. Burps. (Obviously)
4. Farts. (Duh)
5. Butts. The word “butt.” Anything that even remotely resembles a butt.
6. Those TV commercials with the little screaming pink pig on a skateboard/zipline, talking M&Ms, or Marvin Marvin slapping himself in the face.
7. Knock-knock jokes. Especially the awful nonsensical ones they make up with random words in them and say over and over again until I want to bang my head against a wall to make the sound stop.
8. Spongebob Squarepants. Well, actually Patrick Star. That dude (crustacean? echinoderm?) is a bag of doofusy amusement.
What makes your kids laugh every time?
Any kind of toilet humor. Even when the ketchup bottle “farts,” it’s hilarious. Pretty much everything you said makes my boys laugh, even my one year old. Boys! But, I think it’s all kids of a certain age.
Aw, man. The ketchup bottle. PRICELESS.
All of those except Sponge Bob, but only because we’re a Phineas and Ferb family. And it’s not just the kids. My husband thinks most of this list is hilarious, too. *sigh*

P & F slay me! My husband loves watching it with my kids. He laughs even harder than they do.
Me intentionally mispronouncing words like uh phone instead of iphone or tuhtooz instead of tattoos. I have like 50 words I do this with and they laugh every time.
the word butt gets them too…and they’re girls
me imitating their mother…which is spot on…heavy southern accent and awlllll
me imitating them. I can prevent a tantrum or a teenager meltdown by doing one of my own

I need to start doing that. I deliberately mix up compound words, and my kids go nuts. Like, “I’ll be right back. I’m gonna get the mail from the mailhorse.” INSANITY.
Oh my goodness!! At my house it is most definitely butt, fanny, bottom, or any other word that refers to that part of the anatomy -and I have 3 girls! Those ridiculous knock knock jokes drive me crazy!

Butts = comedy gold.
My kids definitely love any kind of potty humor. We also love SpongeBob & Phineas & Ferb. Animimaniacs is our new fav old school cartoon! Any time I use any kind of comical voice they love it too.
Singing in a comical voice gets mine, too.
My son adds “tooty” to everything and then cackles. “Tooty-pig”, “Tooty-spoon”, and of course “Tooty-butt”… the most accurate and grammatically correct of the bunch….

I think your son & my daughter would get along famously.
I never knew how funny the word ‘butt’ was until I had children.

Endlessly hilarious.
My little one loves Sweet Brown of “Ain’t nobody got time for dat” fame and other similarly poorly made commercials like the earvac when the guy sticks a Qtip in his ear and yells OUCH! My other son finds these eternally grating and annoying. Common ground…yeah…farts.
Oh! I need to show my kids that video…
The knock knock jokes are the worst. Mine just don’t “get it” and make up random things that make no sense whatsoever. Oh and yes, butts is a big laughing word around my home too.

My 7yo is starting to get it, but up til now he & his sister would do the random-word nonsense ones and CRY laughing so hard. I’ve almost run away, many times.
My kids are older than yours, so here’s a window into what you have to look forward to when they are in their mid-teens. My 14 year old daughter thinks “69″ is hilarious. HILARIOUS. Like, EVERY SINGLE FREAKING TIME she sees it, she has to say, “It says 69 – heh heh heh.”

Oh God NO. NO no no no no. [blocks ears] lalalalalalalala
I’m partial to white cheddar. I loves me some nerds.
