Hello and welcome to my 10 funniest things I have ever seen (on the internet). I hope my list includes some of your favourites, something to brighten your day and maybe a comedy treasure that you have not yet discovered. Here we go.
1. Venus Bay fishing
I discovered a world of amateur fishing videos during lockdown. This is my favourite. Who or what SK Media is, I don’t know. Did the man trying to catch the fish appreciate being filmed and interviewed? Who knows? Is there a shark or a sting ray on the end of the line? Does this have the best ending of any fishing video out there? I dare say, yes.
2. The Flemings vs TikTok dance
The Flemings you will remember from the time they had a bat loose in the house and Derry had to catch it. Here we get to see Derry and the rest of the family go through the trials and tribulations of learning a TikTok dance.
3. The trailer for the movie Tiptoes
You will get to the end of this and ask yourself if that was some sort of SNL sketch. It isn’t. This movie exists. I have not seen it and after watching the trailer I feel I really don’t need to even though it does have Gary Oldman in the role of a lifetime.
4. Shrek in a dog show
A miniature Shrek that goes like the clappers.
5. A dog in the crowd at the rugby
This pic is an absolute highlight of early Covid times. Such a good boy.

6. Star Wars trumpet solo
The costume and the dance choreography would be funny enough on its own but that trumpet solo takes it to the next level.
7. Miriam Margolyes’ anecdote about Laurence Olivier
The effortless way she can make someone incredibly uncomfortable and at the same time someone else is crying from laughter is one of the greatest comedy gifts.
8. Beach Boys shred
Shreds seemed to be a thing for week at some point in time. This was the first one I saw and I loved it and I went down a hole watching other shreds but it was a very shallow hole because I only needed to watch maybe two other shreds before I knew nothing would beat this one.
9. This dancing horse
OK, you might be that small minority of people who know and understand what happens at an equestrian event at the Olympics and be wondering why I would include this clip (which can’t be embedded) in a list of the 10 funniest things I’ve seen on the internet but that horse has some sick moves and can totally get you some K.
10. Raylene the Racist
An early example of the genius that is Anne Edmonds.
