So joyous! Every time I see the name Joe Dunthorne it makes me think of the bloke who won New Faces or similar and has a very similar name -but can't for the life of me remember it - anyone?

This rings a dim bell with me too but now all I can think of is Joe Pasquale.

When I was little, we had a house Guinea Pig. If someone rang the doorbell, she would run to the door, stand on her hind legs and ‘squeeeeee!’ until someone came to open the door. She would come when called. I LOVED her.

It was the shoelace one that got me. Thank you for making me almost snort-giggle-spill my tea in bed 🤣

The shoelace one is brilliant. There are hundreds - I've been howling at them all week.

Very happy to assist. I don't know WHY it should be so funny, but it is.

Oh the straw one is brilliant! And love the croissant crumbs…. The word ‘massive’ has had an extra layer of hysteria here as I’ve never been able to say the word without thinking of Bob Mortimer in Geordie Heat, talking about Sting’s MASSIVE house….

Croissant is my 2nd favourite. Bob Mortimer MASSIVE house is making me laugh again. PS Mere tip of iceberg-I recommend putting garybarlow into TikTok, except you will waste at least half an hour.
