Well, if you want to get technical, The I Love Lucy episode abt the chickens laying eggs. When Lucy did the tango w/Ricky and well, you all know what happens. That (the audience laughing ) is recorded as being the longest laugh recorded on television.

You've pretty much got them all, although I wouldn't consider #10 one of the biggest studio audience laughs.

"What does the yellow light mean?" is the single funniest moment of any show, ever.

TV DVD Fan · 08-17-2005, 09:44 PM

Yeah I know, but it seemed that Carla's reaction got a PRETTY long laugh. Irene, I dont remember reading that about the Lucy and the chickens episode. Last I heard, TECHNICALLY the longest laugh ever recorded was #2 on the list, when the Peter's or whatever they're called walked through the front door, but I figured more people would agree with the number one I ended up choosing.

It may not be one of the hugest audience laughs ever, but I seem to remember it as being one of the hugest on Cheers.

In a fourth season episode, (the name escapes me at the moment), the trademark "Normism"....

Sam: Hey, what's happening Norm?

Norm: Well it's a dog-eat-dog world Sammy, and I'm wearing milkbone underwear.

Reportedly, the longest laugh in any sitcom ever - 65 seconds - was heard in the episode Lucy Does the Tango, during which Lucy - her jacket filled with raw eggs - slams into Ricky

I searched other sites as well that give Lucy the record for longest laugh. Sorry. I am a devoted Lucy Fan.

That may be the longest laugh that made it into the final cut of the episode, but I've heard from several different sources that in the "That's My Boy" episode of The Dick Van Dyke Show they stood there for over ten minutes waiting for the audience to stop laughing.

TV DVD Fan · 08-17-2005, 09:56 PM

Oh dont get the wrong idea Irene, I'm a diehard Lucy fan, I'm doing this not by what I THINK are the funniest moments in television history, I'm doing this by what the majority of TV lovers and historians believe. Yeah barwars, I remember that about they had to wait for the audience to stop laughing.

Definately sums up Norm! There was one I liked slightly better, I just cant picture it at the moment.

No prob. Just throwing in my two cents. But even though that is the cut that made it to television, it too had a very long laugh going on in the audience, way more than what was shown on t.v. So I guess these two shows have that distinction.

Me too, my personal favorite:

Sam: What'ya up to Norm?

Norm: My ideal weight if I were 11 feet tall.

Just typing it out makes me laugh out loud.

TV DVD Fan · 08-17-2005, 10:03 PM

Yeah. By the by barwars, I def. agree that WHAT DOES A YELLOW LIGHT MEAN! is the single funniest moment by far of any television series. What every other scene of every other show should be judged by.
