When I was a kid, my family would sometimes go to one of those Ryan’s Steakhouse restaurants. Their slogan was, “Where the folks are friendly.” This slogan was on the front door with those decal letters.
At the one we went to, though, someone pulled off an “R” from that slogan, so it read, “Where the folks are fiendly”, and that always gave me a smile as a kid.
Does your definition of “stupid thing” applies to tickling itself?
Burning DVDs at work a long time ago. The software showed a little progress tracker that showed a word like “pending” followed by a percentage. Near the end of the disc, it got stuck at “Pending 100%” before crashing and failing to finish the disc.
100% pending became my go-to for no progress.
Mine would have to be Chanel 9 Neus from The Fast Show…90s UK sketch show with Paul Whitehouse. The whole segment cracks me up every time… they had one each episode. It’s done so well, and all without breaking character.heth-eth-eth-eth, meth-eth-eth, peth-eth-eth… Pi pis na… boutros boutros gali

Fruity lager.
My friends and I used to be Four Loko fans back when it had energy drink mixed in. When that got taken off the market we replicated the feeling by drinking a 5 hour energy and a forty.
Well one day my friend decides to pour his 5 hour energy into his forty despite our protests. He takes a big gulp and smacks his lips and says it tastes like a fruity lager.
One by one we all pour our 5 hour energies into our forties and smack our lips and say it tastes like a fruity lager. Finally the last guy does it and takes a sip and immediately spits it out saying it tastes like ass.
We all crack up because we all got tricked and couldn’t let the other guys not drink this nasty swill so everyone played it cool until we were all in it together.
We still text each other Fruity Lager and crack up over a decade later.
