History Main / Corpsing

** ''Literature/GideonTheNinth'': Dulcinea has a habit of laughing at inappropriate moments, especially when talking to Gideon about how she (Dulcinea) would [[IllGirl prefer to die]]. [[spoiler:"Dulcinea" is actually an immortal Lyctor who has been dying for ten thousand years, and she's the one killing everyone in the book. So yes, she's laughing about how everyone is trying to find the killer and ignoring the poor girl with cancer]].

*** There's an especially critical part in German when the parson says "And he took bread, and gave thanks" which in German is "Und er nahm das Brot, dankte". [[MyHovercraftIsFullOfEels The problem is that "dankte", meaning "thanked", sounds pretty similar to "dunkte", meaning "dunked", leading many kids to remember the old joke of Jesus being the first basketball player in the most inappropriate moment.]][[note]] It also lead to an obscure German Protestant sect known as "The Dunkers" that have a doctrinal position of dipping the bread in the wine. They also believe in adult baptism, which doubles up on the "The Dunkers" name [[/note]]

* Ceremonial guards such as the [[BritishRoyalGuards Queen's Guard at Buckingham Palace]] are [[DefiedTrope trained and drilled rigorously]] to maintain [[TheStoic an absolutely stoic demeanor]] whatever is happening around them. That said, they're only human so it ''is'' sometimes just possible to get one of them to break up if you really make an effort, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XSoJqdPi4Iw as this guy discovered]].

->"Christmas means many things to many people. To some, Christmas means glittering lights, gaily wrapped gifts. That's right, sounds of laughter and good cheer. To the folks at Preparation H– hahahahaha– it means a time to pause for a few– ''hahaha-'' a few moments to– ''HAHAHA-'' to give thanks to their friends, who've been so... ''[collapses into helpless laughter]'' …kind and generous!"

* A Brazilian journalist [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bw35fqhzpi4 started laughing]] while reporting [[http://www.policeone.com/news/48924-81-year-old-charged-with-ecstasy-smuggling this]] (particularly when the culprit says she thought the smuggled ecstasy was Viagra). In a bit of SelfDeprecation, a few years later she saw the clip again during an interview.

* ''Podcast/RiffTrax'': Downplayed. The Riffers don't really make an effort to hide the fact that they're laughing when they do.

* ''Fanfic/TheBoltChronicles'': Penny breaks up laughing during her filming session in “The Cameo,” spoiling numerous takes.

* It's not just Matt Hullum at Creator/RoosterTeeth who crack up during production, the rest of staff are particularly prone to breaking and giggling while talking, especially on their podcasts. In fact, if a particular moment on the ''RT Podcast'' or ''Off Topic'' is particularly hilarious, even the ''camera crew'', especially podcast producer Eric, can also be heard cackling along. Eric has since become a sidekick for the podcasts because of his frequent interjections and hysterical cackle. It's gotten to the point where on ''Face Jam'', audio engineer Nick became a background sidekick because he constantly burst into hysterical laughter during recording.

* At the 2013 San Diego Comic-Con, Creator/TomHiddleston showed up in full costume and character as [[Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse Loki]], lapping up the attention from his rather vocal fanbase without breaking character... Until a random guy in the crowd yelled: "My wife loves you!" Cue Tom trying desperately not to crack up laughing and instead just grinning like a maniac. Of course, being a maniacal grin, the end result is actually very in character. This guy (or someone imitating him anyway) came back at another panel, shouting "My wife ''still'' loves you!" which resulted in the same thing as before.

* ''AudioPlay/SoniDestruction'': Since this is a live script reading, the cast is experiencing the story as they're acting it out. They can't help but burst out into laughter every other line due to the insane quips and plot twists the AI comes up with.

It's rare to see extras corpsing in the background. The main cast can get away with corpsing without being fired, but if they ''do'' manage to get through a take without laughing, and then an extra ruined the scene by laughing in the background, that extra will probably be let go on the spot and probably blacklisted from future projects.

* This is the whole idea behind Twizzler's "You Can't Be Serious With Twizzlers" campaign. Someone is shown trying to keep a straight face while a Twizzler is used to tickle his or her nose until he or she starts laughing.

* A meta-example for ''Literature/TheEyeOfArgon'': It's a popular game at [[FanConvention SF conventions]] for people to take turns reading from the infamously {{Narm}}-filled book out loud (pronouncing each word [[RougeAnglesOfSatin as written]]), complete with PurpleProse, RougeAnglesOfSatin, and DelusionsOfEloquence all taken exactly as written, to see who can last the longest before breaking down into laughter. It's considered quite an achievement to last more than a page. Variations of the game may be played with the works of Creator/AmandaMcKittrickRos or Creator/WilliamTopazMcGonnagall.
