What Is The Funniest Post On DL That You Have Ever Read?

Seriously, the funniest post. The one that made you completely lose it. I'll go first.

The funniest post I ever read was of a woman here who recounted her memory of losing her virginity. It was her Quinceanera, the Hispanic party celebrating a girl's 15th birthday. Her mother made her wear an elaborate dress. However, she failed to mention one important detail prior to diving into her sexcapade. She proceeded to tell of how the boy and her snuck away and how they made out. Then she said he slipped his hand down her diaper and began to finger her. Yep. She just nonchalantly stated that she was wearing a diaper and the guy reached his hand into it and fingered her pussy. She forgot to mention that she was forced to wear a diaper because of the dress. I lost it. I spit my drink. I was laughing so hard I started seeing stars and got dizzy. I didn't stop laughing until maybe 30-40 minutes later, with repeat rounds of laughter every time I thought about the diaper for days afterwards.

I kind of got a kick out of the guy who took a video with his Razr phone of himself jacking off, and then accidentallysent it to everyone in his phone book.

The thing that kind of ruined it for me is that I had a Razr phone and figured out that accidentally sending a video involved about seven specific steps.

Though, if the story was real, it would have been especially funny.

The posts weren't intentionally funny, but I loved the vengeful GG posts.

After his threads and posts were deleted by the webmaster, or maybe he was banned, he would go into other threads claiming he was posting from Belgium and the webmaster would never stop him from using various IPs.

R1, same here. I had the same phone, and IIRC it wasn't hard to accidentally "send to all", as the technology wasn't as smart as it is now.

by Anonymousreply 9September 25, 2014 12:56 AM

IIRC, the sequence of sending the video on the Razr was something like accidentally navigating to the "send" option, then, when it's time to type in the name of the recipient, accidentally selecting to choose the recipients from your phone book, then accidentally navigating to "all," accidentally choosing "all," and accidentally selecting "ok."

Which made me picture the poor guy accidentally navigating to the "send" option and then frantically trying to not accidentally selecting the recipients from the phone book.

by Anonymousreply 16September 25, 2014 1:46 AM

I was new to DL and didn't realize that most people could spot a made-up thread instantly.

This thread was about some gay man whose boyfriend had been killed in a car accident and the family wouldn't let him attend the funeral.

The first reply, far from expressing the sympathy I expected, was "Oh, for God's sakes".

After I figured it out, I giggled for days.

Oh God, R16, "Famous JonBenets Throughout History" was priceless. It had the best DL attributes--endless cleverness plus snark, but none of the vileness that wrecks so many other threads. I hope someone saved that thread.

The possum in a drawer thread (R6) definitely gets honorable mention because it was so goofy--a DL poster found a possum nesting in his dresser drawer and was totally freaking out. So of course he turned to DL for humane removal advice and therapy. And neither thread led itself to freeper hijacking. Sigh.

Years ago, during the ACT-UP era, a local station did a remote interview with an activist who called himself "Luke Sissyfag."

I don't remember the gist of the interview, just the caption that said "LUKE SISSYFAG: AIDS ACTIVIST," and the very conservative anchorman who looked like he was going to throw up. The funniest was at the interview: "All right. Thank you, Luke Sissyfag."

So the Frau ordered a new one and when the waitress brought it he alledgely reacted by repeatedly say "fank you!!!" for fixing his "broken" cheeseburger. The blogger transcribe each "fank you!!!'"

The OP told this incredibly looong story (all in the same goddamn paragraph, too) about trying to purchase some unusual cheese at a deli, and the woman behind the counter wouldn't sell him all of that cheese. Why? Because she didn't know him!

So after finally getting through the huuuuge opening post, the very first reply was "What kind of cheese was it?"

And the fucking OP wouldn't reply, for days!

Until finally, someone pretended to be the OP, and said that the special cheese was white velveeta. All that, over white Velveeta!

My two favorites are two very small threads that seemed to occupy only a few of us.

The one was the "Pete Burns Has Low Hangers" thread. Someone had posted a photo of ol' Pete in a torn up wedding dress (I believe). He was crooning away on what looked like a picnic table with the dress hiked up to his hips and that fruit just a dangling to his knees. One horrified poster stated, "I don't know what bothers me more - the bored look of the audience or the turd laying under him!" (it was a cigar butt that truly resembled a turd).

The second was "If Nostradamus Was a Vampire, Why Didn't He Live Forever?" or some such nonsense. Fury commenced and one helpful poster wondered if maybe the OP had confused Nostradamus with the Cosa Nostra. That still makes me laugh.

At first, it was all right. We lived sinlessly. We slept in the same bed, but we never did it. And then, that night, I saw him looking down at me that way. We got down on our knees to pray for strength. I smelled the whiskey on his breath. Then he took me. He took me, with the stink of filthy roadhouse whiskey on his breath, and I liked it. I liked it! With all that dirty touching of his hands all over me. I should've given you to God when you were born, but I was weak and backsliding, and now the devil has come home. We'll pray.

I don't know if it was posted in that thread(I couldn't find it), but the principal, who has a rescue dog, had her picture taken with the senior and his rescue pussy and it was a special page in the yearbook. A friend posted the link on FB.

Only halfway through this thread, and I am laughing to the point of tears and lemme tell you, that does NOT happen so easily lately, so I just want to say for millionth time, THANK YOU to the DL for being. It's like no other place (and in spite of being "virtual" I maintain it IS a real place with more in common with a physical community than most actual physical groupings.).

For all the criticism of posts by people whose panties are forever in a twist, there is more clever joyous wit and life here than anyplace online (and I am not new to the Inter-Toobs by a longshot). This is a truncated off the cuff post but I need to get back to laughing at the memories because I swear, sometimes this site keeps me alive. To those who keep the faith, I love you (not hyperbole!) and you ARE talking to someone, regulars. Keep posting. I know you post partly because someone might just need to read your post on something at that exact moment, and you are not wrong. Keep typing in the face of snide dismissive smug responses, because someone absolutely does need to read the completely genuine thing you share.

I may be the only one who remembers this, but about 10 years ago when "American Idol" was popular someone started a thread called "Words Bucky Covington Doesn't Understand."

It was mildly amusing as people chimed in with terms like "chiffonade" and "pret-a-porter," but then some queen flipped her shit and started raving about how "self-loathing" the whole thread was... which was even funnier.

There also was another contestant who referred to Southern rock as his preferred "jandra" of music. After that, "jandra" got substituted a lot for "genre" on the DL, and inevitably someone in every thread would pipe up with, "It's GENRE, not JANDRA! What kind of IDIOT are you?"

After a minute or two of his blathering, I walked right up to him, got in his face and said: "Where the hell did you learn to whisper? A sawmill?! It's my body and my business... I suggest you get out of my sight before I decide to make you sing soprano for the rest of your miserable life. What are you waiting for fool?! I said MOVE IT!"

I am the OP who created "Sows at the Trough"--still a paying member after all these years. I am happy to report that about 18 months ago our office closed, and most of us were reassigned to work from home. We had seen a major decrease in the amount and type of food and food gifts brought in by vendors--sign of the times. If you recall, SATT was created just because a rep brought in a couple dozen bagels and they all stampeded in to grab them. However, I can still recall the bitter fights and tears over who got "dibs" on the popcorn tins, the little jelly jars, and so on. It was ludicrous. I never thought the thread would take off the way it did--I guess it was just a testimonial to sow behavior and how universal it was, and still evidently is. I'm glad I'm out of it. I have enjoyed and participated in many, many DL threads through the years. I actually have DL fave David Ehrenstein to thank for bringing me to it. I used to love Salon.com's old "Table Talk" forums, back when they were free, and when they started charging, DE signed off by saying he would be "over at the Datalounge." So I owe him a big vote of thanks for getting me here, even though he does not appear to be much of a presence here any longer. I think DL still has the potential it always has had for creating "classic" threads, and I loved them all: the WTC, Ben and Matt, Dustin DeWind, Red Dragon cheese, Claire, and the Helen Lawson threads. I think there is a tendency to start immediate threads on so-called "hot topics" (do we really need ALL those DWTS threads?) But for all its flaws, I still feel that DL has ten times the wit, intelligence, humor, sage advice and even personal compassion than most of the chat sites out there. It is ours to make whatever we will, and if it is lacking we have no one to blame but ourselves. I'm sticking around.

by Anonymousreply 310October 7, 2014 11:43 PM

Over 300 posts and none mention two classics -- which, like an earlier poster said, saved me from a truly depressed state, thank you DL.

I thought it might've been one of those "Had to be There" things but I showed them to a friend a few months ago, long after they were posted, and we were giggling all over again. So, in my humble opinion, NOTHING tops:

The guy live posting "I Slept with Janie Lane", asking for advice about saying goodbye and then he pokes him awake and gets screamed at as he races out of the house, bumping into furniture. It makes me laugh typing this. Especially if you add in the fictional cafton flowing behind him as he runs.

But the all time champ, one I can't BELIEVE hasn't been mentioned, is the Margarine Fountain. It was my intro to DL and I haven't left. When I need a laugh, I just google "Margarine Fountain" and it takes me right where I need to go. I loved the poster who said "PLEASE do it and take photos! Have some Aloe Vera on hand for the burns".

This thread has made me laugh all over again. Not to get gushy but thanks for the wit, DL.

There were certainly some better ones I don't remember.

Anyway, the one that I most certainly DO remember, and that had me spit up my coffee and make a big mess of my work desk, was this gem:

"Whitney Houston Turns 40".

The post where the guy is at a Superbowl (??) get - together (alone) at a friend's house and his ex shows up with his partner. Still in love with his ex, OP is dying inside and beelines for the bathroom, where he promptly gives DL the play-by-play from his phone and wonders if he should rappel out the toilet window.

Datalounge's helpful advice givers plus OP's panicked desperate meltdown plus a mix of DL's pointless bitchery (this.never.happened.) plus the tension was altogether hilarious.

Not necessarily the funniest post I've ever read but in the (current active) I HAVE MICE thread the otherwise practical responses are sprinkled with a few gems.

R32 is very creative, but R35 offered this

"Somewhere on this floor of the house" - so you have your own house, and the issue isn't coming from a restaurant on the premises, or a crazy neighbor with rodentophilia? (I had a tenant who kept mice in a metal barrel, and they kept getting out and driving the woman in the adjacent unit crazy. No one ever told me. One day she broke into his place, rolled the barrel to the sidewalk, threw in gasoline and a match, and as they shot out flaming she stood there shooting them with a pistol. THAT was a memorable call from a tenant.)

Back in the days of the Red Tags, we had a very long thread about a guy who posted a photo that was allegedly of himself in his underwear. He had a nice body, and a bunch of posters told him so.

Then WHAM! went the Red Tag, and most of the thread was the guy talking to himself.

As soon as that happened, someone posted "OP, look back over these last few pages and ask yourself how it makes you feel."

I guess you had to be there.

The guy was freaked out because he was having a face to face meeting with said boss a couple of hours later and he hoped his boss didn't even hear the "I love you." The responses were great, including one from a queen who saw this as the further degradation of the once meaningful phrase into just a casual toss off at the end of every phone call to every friend and not something saved for our special relationships.

In the scene with the horny Marine

See the toll that it takes on his hole

That's entertainment

The top, who is dressed as a cop

With the guy, who pretends to be bi

For a twist, he will squat on his fist

That's entertainment

The lean muscled teen who's too good to be true

A twink into kink in his porno debut

Mentored by Chi Chi LaRue

The bottom boy sensation, does double penetration

The sprite, claims his hole is too tight

Spreads his ass, soon it takes EZ Pass

First a kiss, then he'll bathe in your piss

The world is a stage

The stage is a world of entertainment

A punk full of spunk in a bottoming scene

The slut gives his butt to a skateboarding teen

You bet his asshole is clean

The first rule of producing

make sure your boys are douching.

The ditz, with the silicone tits

Chewing gum, while she's swallowing cum

It's by rote, that she's giving deep throat

That's entertainment

A rut with the slut with the glazed-over eyes

In bed she will spread her big cottage-cheese thighs

After she fucks thirty guys

Collectively they leave 'er
