8* UsefulNotes/{{Furry|Fandom}} rant show ''WebVideo/TwoSense'' featured the hosts learning about an AxCrazy lunatic writing a {{Narm}}-tastic poem called "I Ruined Your Face." The hosts, WebVideo/TwoTheRantingGryphon and Jibba, couldn't stop laughing about it, and jokes about it through the rest of the episode sent them both into hysterics. If that wasn't enough, footage from after the show was over proved that they'd actually been ''holding back''. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4h3qx3UnOmc Watch it here.]]
9* ''WebVideo/AitorMolinaVs'': A brief one in "The Christmas Revenge" when Doctor Pandemia says "Cheer up, it's Christmas!"
10* ''WebVideo/TheAngryVideoGameNerd'', in spite of his persona, can ''not'' keep a straight face to save his life at times:
11** In his second ever video, his review of ''VideoGame/DrJekyllAndMrHydeNES'', he gets his face mere inches from the camera and insists with intense determination that he is '''DEAD FUCKING SERIOUS''' at how bad the game is... and ''almost'' makes it without cracking up as the video fades to black.
12** You can ''clearly'' hear him laughing during his review of ''Franchise/ANightmareOnElmStreet'' when he's ranting about smacking around spiders.
13** When reviewing ''VideoGame/{{Ghostbusters|1984}}'', he gets to the "Ghost Vacuum" and muses if such a thing exists in real life. Cut to him making a prank call to a hardware store asking for a "vacuum shaped like a funnel that goes on the roof of his car", confusing the hell out of the clerk, and valiantly holding a straight face the entire time until he finally says it's for catching ghosts and cracks up. He also couldn't keep a straight face when he takes to the streets to find a dog turd to compare the games to it.
14--->'''Nerd:''' That! It's dog shit! That's what it reminds me of! This game reminds me ''[starts laughing]'' of dog shit!
15** During his thrashing of ''Film/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtlesIII'' he ultimately cracks up when, ironically enough, emphasizing how the line "Help I'm a turtle and I can't get up" isn't funny.
16** Explaining that something isn't funny is apparently hilarious to poor James, as he does it ''again'' in his ''Franchise/{{Castlevania}}'' retrospective. He's giggling and grinning when trying to criticize the game's gag of having renamed actors and directors in their credits.
17** He managed to keep a straight face during his ''NES Accessories'' review until he discovered the Konami Laser Scope, a voice-activated zapper that responded to the word "Fire", would actually respond to any word. Then you can hear him struggling not to laugh as he's hurling out various swear words to activate it. You also hear him stifle a laugh when describing the "Power Bar" for the U-Force when he can't figure out what's so "powerful" about it and that "it's just a fucking bar!"
18** Creator/{{James|Rolfe}} released a HilariousOuttakes video for ''Bugs Bunny's Birthday Blowout'' where he ends up cackling at both the "head up a unicorn's asshole" and the "Bugs Bunny's Birthday Beating" lines, having to take numerous retakes of both to get it out. Creator/{{Mike|Matei}} also has a lot of trouble doing the Bugs voice with a straight face, though thankfully he gets to wear a mask.
19** And he did it again when he made a HilariousOuttakes video for his ''Crazy Castle'' review in which he struggles to keep a straight face during the "muck spread" rant, having to stop and just laugh for a solid 10 seconds at times just to try and get his face straight.
20** In episode three of Cinemassacre Mailbag, he received a letter from a writer on the blog ''Fight Hard Yeah!'' As is the case on the blog, the letter was filled with [[TranslationTrainwreck horrible Engrish]]. The last line of the letter was ''so'' terrible that it caused James to burst into laughter. He couldn't say the line without laughing. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LX30rK-lCOc See here.]]
21** His review of ''The Wizard of Oz'' on SNES. When Mike Mattei shows up in a lion costume hyper-actively ranting about things like 'wiping his ass with his tail', you can see James literally ''straining'' to keep from laughing. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HTLUOgP21UY#t=5m51s Take a look.]] It's also quite clear, based on the outtakes at the end, that he did the odd picture-in-picture edit effect because he simply could not be on screen at the same time as Mike without losing his shit.
22** When he reviewed ''WesternAnimation/ToxicCrusaders'' games, James is visibly struggling to hold back laughing at Creator/LloydKaufman's audacious and crude antics.
23** Two outtakes at the end of his ''VideoGame/{{Battletoads}}'' review have him bursting out with laughter after a couple of Kyle's spontaneous lines.
24--->'''Nerd:''' Battletoads is not a--\
25'''Kyle:''' I'm going behind the couch!!!\
26'''Nerd:''' Well good then you ''[starts laughing]'' Fuck!
27** In the ''VideoGame/IkariWarriors'' review (not the outtakes), he audibly corpses two or three times at Kyle's comments.
28** In the ''VideoGame/HongKong97'' review, he corpses during the game's intro, due to the sheer absurdity of the plot.
29** In the review for ''VideoGame/BigRigsOverTheRoadRacing'', he corpses so hard that he starts crying when the "YOU'RE WINNER" screen pops up.
30** In his Atari Sports video, he tries to describe ''Miniature Golf'' but is unable to say it without laughing because of how abstract and hard to interpret the graphics are.
31** When utterly ''slamming'' the terrible ''[[Ride/UniversalStudios Universal Studios Theme Parks Adventure]]'' he cracks up at the game's premise of forcing you to buy a hat before letting you on any rides.
32---> Hey, remember that time you went to Universal and they wouldn't let you on the rides unless you (starts laughing) wear a stupid fucking hat?!
33** When tackling ''Math on the Move'' during his ''Lightspan Adventures'' review, the Nerd mocks a pair of people in the game for being nerds and, while he doesn't actually laugh, he's ''clearly'' struggling to keep from grinning when he says "Look at how geeky they're dressed! Not all cool like me!"
34** While reviewing ''Film/HomeAlone'' games and Creator/MacaulayCulkin asks him if he's ever had pizza out of a toilet, the Nerd spontaneously ad-libs the line "[[{{Pun}} pizza shit]]." This makes Macaulay sputter and simply say "I knew I liked you" which in turn prompts the Nerd, who until now has managed to keep his laughter behind a ''gigantic'' smirk, to burst out laughing as well.
35** When he revisits VideoGame/Superman64 and finds more ring levels he is forced to play through, he stares in disbelief before he just starts laughing hysterically. The laughing then transitions to [[CryLaughing laughing while crying]] and finally uncontrollable weeping as he realizes that the whole game is full of this. As the Nerd exclaims, "Why do they have to move?!?" it eventually devolves back into a version of this trope.
36** In his review of ''Life of Black Tiger'', you can see him straining not to laugh at one of Fred Fucks' outbursts. Not that we're judging: Having Creator/GilbertGottfried (who also couldn't help but corpse up a little) yelling this line at you would make ''anyone'' want to laugh.
37--->'''Fred Fucks:''' I'M NOT EDUCATED ENOUGH FOR THE GUY WHO TALKS ABOUT BUFFALO SHIT IN HIS BASEMENT!!!
38** He corpses right up when he hears about ''VideoGame/Raid2020's'' drug satellite and tries to say how ludicrous it is that these drug dealers are so over-the-top they're ''broadcasting their drugs via satellite''.
39** He corpses ''hard'' during his review of the video game adaptation of ''Film/{{Darkman}}'' when he tells a "true" story about a friend who died from touching a clown. He tells the story, looks the camera dead-ass in the eye with a straight face, and then falls to absolute pieces laughing.
40--->Let me ask you something. Have you ever touched a clown in real life? I mean, seriously. Have you ever touched a clown in real life? Of course you haven't. 'Cause you'd be dead. Once, at a birthday party, a friend of mine ran up to the clown after the magic act, went to hug him... and he died right on the spot.
41** When reviewing the various console ports of ''Franchise/MortalKombat'', he asks "So how do these ports hold up? Like this!" and holds up a stack of games... which he almost accidentally drops since the top two start to slide off. He slaps them down to hang onto them and then glances at the camera with a big goofy grin on his face.
42** He sputters and cracks up during his review of various ''Franchise/MortalKombat'' knock-offs when he explains how the developers of ''VideoGame/ShadowWarOfSuccession'' forgot to implement the fatalities they advertised on the back of the box.
43** Him ''and'' Mike Matei burst out laughing at his overly dramatic "HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!" (blows out his middle fingers like candles) "FUCK YOU!!!" bit from his ''[[Creator/SegaInteractive Greendog]]'' review. Even from the beginning you can see him fighting the urge to laugh.
44** After poking fun at fans who have complained about his new shirts for the entirety of his review of ''Film/TheRocketeer'', he finally at the end proposes that he find a new shirt that will keep everyone happy. Then, with ''Franchise/StarTrek'' sound effects, his shirt transforms into a ''ridiculous'' silver lamé outfit that looks like what the 20's thought we'd be wearing in the new millennium. He then sits there in silence, with a big goofy grin on his face, barely holding in laughter, and he finally starts to crack and audibly laugh as it cuts to the end credits.
45* When WebVideo/{{Arlo}} watched the September 2021 WebVideo/NintendoDirect that revealed the [[QuestionableCasting cast list]] of ''WesternAnimation/TheSuperMarioBrosMovie'', he let out a BigWhat and started chuckling when Creator/ChrisPratt was revealed as the voice of Mario. Then he completely lost it when Creator/CharlieDay was revealed as the voice of Luigi, and all the subsequent cast reveals kept him hyperventilating the whole time. He couldn't even properly react to the ''VideoGame/Splatoon3'' trailer that was shown immediately afterward because he was still laughing so hard. He even titled the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ebkYa_Uspqk video]] of his reaction "Literally the hardest I've laughed in ten years".
46-->'''Arlo:''' ''(trying to compose himself while the trailer plays)'' I can't...I can't...I can't...I wanted to care about this but I can't! ''(sees a cool-looking cityscape in the trailer)'' Whoa, that's rad! ''(starts chuckling again)'' Creator/SethRogen...ha! Creator/FredArmisen as [[VideoGame/DonkeyKongCountry Cranky Kong]]! Ah ha ha ha ha ha ha!
47* During Creator/AustinEvans' video "The Best $200 Laptop?":
48--> [[https://youtu.be/P0r9wR-Z2dc?t=6m32s On the plus side though, in the middle of the keyboard, is a little trackpad nipple. So, you know, who's ever gonna complain about having an extra nipple in their life?]]
49* In the bloopers for a crossover review with other European reviewers, Film Brain of ''WebVideo/BadMovieBeatdown'' starts laughing and cannot stop ''for over four minutes''. Eventually, the others have him cover his eyes and pretend he's crying, so they can keep filming while he's in utter hysterics.
50* One super-cute video is rapper [[Music/BDoe B-Doe]] attempting a rap battle with his son. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r0pq2TCZ4Ko Who is a five-month infant]]. When Quentin starts laughing at his dad, B-doe can't help but break down into giggles.
51* WebVideo/BennettTheSage: The ''Anime Abandon'' review of ''Anime/LittleNemoAdventuresInSlumberland'' includes a scene where Sage gets accidentally blasted in the face by Savage with a "whimsy shotgun" (a toy gun that's been painted pink and sprayed with glitter). At the end of the review, [[HilariousOuttake an outtake plays]] where Savage accidentally snaps the front handgrip of the gun off while waving it around and spends a bit trying to get it reattached, corpsing the entire time.
52* When ''WebVideo/BoardJames'', Motherfucker Mike, and Bad Luck Bootsy are playing ''Shark Attack'', Bootsy responds to one of Mike's insults by humming a ''ridiculous'' rendition of ''Pop Goes The Weasel'' and extending his middle finger while pretending to reel in a fish. [[https://youtu.be/0P5jmDfQwuQ?si=Wnl7uXvtaPsMRaVP&t=88 It really needs to be seen]]. The entire time, James and Mike are outright ''straining'' not to laugh, and both end up absolutely losing it.
53* The memetic [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0JcM8jLAfdo "bottom gear" videos]] consist of Jixaw reading out various suggestions sent to him on Twitter, several of which cause him to crack up to some extent. One that just says "cement" causes him to completely lose it for about ten seconds.
54* WebVideo/BreakingNews by Creator/{{Dropout}} is all about this: The cast of College Humor and associates have to read absurd, offensive or even slanderous news without corpsing. The one who laughs the most is called out at the end. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QynCvny8ikQ Here is an example.]]
55* The narrator of ''WebVideo/CinemaSins'' does a valiant job reading his lines without laughing, but even he lets it slip once in a while:
56** After keeping it together through some of the more absurdly silly things in ''Film/MightyMorphinPowerRangersTheMovie'' he loses it during the final battle:
57--->"Frog Boy waits until he gets shot before using his electrocuting tongue, because starting with this would have (starts laughing) way too easy."
58** In "Everything Wrong with ''Film/{{Suicide Squad|2016}}''", you clearly hear the narrator [[https://youtu.be/NH5YLq412Wc?t=17m stifle a laugh and almost flub the line]] when he comments on how useless Killer Croc has been up until the point there is a [[ThisLooksLikeAJobForAquaMan conveniently flooded tunnel for him to swim through]]. Not thirty seconds later, although he does a much better job hiding this one, you can also tell he's struggling not to laugh when he comments on how misogynistic the film is:
59--->"This movie is so aggressively misogynistic that it briefly hosted ''Access Hollywood''."
60** He similarly struggles to stifle a laugh during the "suck the pacifier" scene in ''WesternAnimation/TheBossBaby'', commenting on how it sounds like an Creator/AlecBaldwin sex tape or possibly a scene from ''Film/TheGetaway''...
61--->"which was ''also'' pretty much an (laughs) Alec Baldwin sex tape, but with Creator/JamesWoods hanging out in the background
62** During the review of ''Film/TheFateOfTheFurious'', the movie has already broken the sin counter (making it read gibberish like ")(*#3") but then the scene of the cars outrunning the submarine is so over the top that it actually ''kills'' the sin counter. The narrator is clearly laughing his ass off [[https://youtu.be/uuCo7mHUQJs?t=22m23s when he pleads to Chris to dial 911]].
63** The "GIRL! GIRL!"-gag from ''WesternAnimation/InsideOut'' prompts a fit of genuine, hysterical laughter from the narrator, plus the removal of two sins. While the narrator does do a scripted laugh at funny scenes, this classifies as Corpsing because the comments clarify that that was his actual reaction to the scene.
64** He starts laughing off-script when trying to describe Branch's FreudianExcuse in ''WesternAnimation/{{Trolls}}'', ultimately giving up and apologizing for laughing at how [[SoBadItsGood hilariously dumb he finds it to be]].
65* Happens fairly regularly on ''WebVideo/CriticalRole'', but highlights would have to be a guest star reducing Creator/TaliesinJaffe to [[HeadDesk screaming into the table]] by introducing tampons to their fantasy setting, and Creator/MatthewMercer mercilessly breaking ''the entire group'' with the character (and accent) of Victor the Black Powder Merchant.
66-->'''Creator/LiamOBrien:''' I'm just going to stand over here and fail to stay in-character.
67* Creator/DougWalker:
68** During his review of ''Film/MortalKombatAnnihilation'' when he and his friends are all hooting and hollering over the [[FanService mud fight]], you see Jim Jarosz (the guy in the Captain Morgan hat) struggling not to laugh and finally ducking out of camera as he smirks at Bhargav's "dirty little kitty" lines at the end.
69** During the Top 10 Movies He Hates But Everyone Else Loves. As he describes the [[{{Narm}} increasingly ridiculous]] plot of ''Film/{{Signs}}'', he continues to grin more and more until he finally admits that he needs to watch the movie again [[SoBadItsGood as he might actually like it.]] [[http://channelawesome.com/nostalgia-critic-signs/ Turns out he doesn't.]]
70** During his ''WebVideo/TheNostalgiaCritic'' review of ''WesternAnimation/ThePebbleAndThePenguin'', you hear him stifle a laugh when he [[https://youtu.be/BuH7xV80kro?t=546 comments on Drake's evil lair]].
71** Though he and WebVideo/TheNostalgiaChick don't actually break out in laughter during their fight in their crossover review of ''WesternAnimation/{{Ferngully}}'', they never-the-less have big doofy grins on their faces pretty much the entire time.
72* Mook on ''WebVideo/EpicMealTime'' is prone to corpsing when Harley is on camera. Examples include the Gentlemen Beef Wellington and Candy Sushi episodes.
73* In ''WebVideo/FalseSwipeGaming'''s video about [[VideoGame/PokemonDiamondandPearl Regigigas]], the usually dry and informative host can barely hold back giggles as they ask: "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g2BeDSbxyto How GOOD was Regigigas actually?]]", [[AwesomeButImpractical thanks to Regigigas's horrible Slow Start ability]].
74* WebVideo/FilthyFrank let plenty of these slide on camera, such as
75** When talking about how ''VideoGame/PokemonGo'' [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TJG4aEtKeUw was the end of humanity]], and how his German grandfather would tuck him in at night...followed by German-sounding nonsense. Neither he nor the camera crew could keep it together.
76* ''WebVideo/FridayNightTights'' is known for being off-the-cuff and purposely irreverent, but a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-MboVnMtZcA&t=4490s recent episode]] had Chrissy Mayr, stubbornly in character as Froskurinn, “confronting” the hosts and guest about the subject matter, leaving them all in hysterics. They literally can not get a word in edgewise, and even when they try, Chrissy is on a roll. Even the normally silent and stoic live-editor Xray Girl became the target of “Frosk’s” rant, and her wide-eyed laughter is the stuff of legend.
77---> “She does not exist for you to stroke your chopstick to!”
78* The ''WebVideo/GameGrumps'':
79** Even though it's common for them to burst into laughter, Danny pretty much spends the entire episode of ''Mickey Mousecapade'' laughing so hard he's actually heaving in pain and begging Arin to stop doing his [[StylisticSuck intentionally bad]] imitation of ''WebVideo/TheAngryVideoGameNerd''[[note]]Specifically he's ripping on imitators of the Nerd: Before playing they watched a Lets Play where the commentator was very obviously trying to emulate the Nerd which set Arin off[[/note]].
80--->'''Arin:''' Geez, walking chairs?! What's he in a hurry for? ''To get sit on?''\
81'''Danny:''' ''[literally crying with laughter]'' Stop!!!
82** Similarly, they usually need to get at least a little ways into turning on a game before they start laughing, ''VideoGame/ShadowTheHedgehog'' floors them the second the opening cutscene begins and they're basically laughing the entire time and mocking the game for how [[DarkerAndEdgier hilariously dark and edgy it is]]. The cutscene begins with [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qJHRb-zA1b8 Shadow loading a gun to a heavy rock and roll soundtrack in front of a massive full moon]] and...
83---> '''Arin:''' Oh ''fuck''! (Burst of laughter) Oh my god! ''Why does he have a machine gun?!''
84** During [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QF9GqQtQjvk this bit]] when Santa's goin' '''''NUTS''''', one of the things he does amid all the destruction is discover Ross trying to sleep and gingerly kiss him on the cheek. When Ross thanks Santa, he is ''clearly'' struggling to not laugh and a big grin comes across his face.
85* The puppeteers of ''WebVideo/GloveAndBoots'' sometimes get the giggles so badly they have to put the puppets down. The blooper reels show them messing up take after take from laughing so hard, and if you check the original video, they occasionally just leave in a take that ends with them laughing. They ''literally'' couldn't find a take that didn't devolve into laughter.
86* ''WebVideo/GrayStillPlays'': Stays in when something happens in the games that completely takes him by surprise...whether or not it's his own fault.
87* Filming of the second episode of ''WebVideo/TheGumdrops'' "GBH" had moments where crew members were unable to call for cut because Rebecca Rose Flynn had reduced them to laughter.
88* ''WebVideo/GuruLarryAndWez'':
89** During Guru Larry's "Top 5 Hidden Pissed Off Programmer Rants -- Japan Edition" video, he has to read a hilariously perverse message left by designer Kaoru Nakajima in ''Ganso Saiyuki: Super Monkey Daibouken''. He matter-of-factly reads everything Mr. Nakajima likes about and wants to do to various female... parts... and proceeds to break down into laughter.
90* During the ''WebVideo/{{Honest Trailer|s}}'' for ''Film/SpiderManNoWayHome'' the joke credit for Creator/AlfredMolina is a play on the lyrics for "If I Were A Rich Man" from ''Theatre/FiddlerOnTheRoof'' (which Molina performed in shortly after ''Film/SpiderMan2''). Jon Bailey, who narrates each ''Honest Trailer'', can be heard cracking up as he finishes the line.
91* On ''WebVideo/TheHydraulicPressChannel'' episode "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TGgAPYv6Qho Pressing Candles Through Small Holes]]" they put Toys/StretchArmstrong in the press and flatten its face, making it come out looking like ''UsefulNotes/DonaldTrump''. Lauri and Anni utterly lose it laughing.
92* ''WebVideo/InternetHistorian:''
93** At the end of his "Tay A.I." video, where he talks about how the internet warped the titular chatbot into a sexist, racist, foul-mouthed drug-addicted waifu, he sort of derails and begins talking about "dirty robosexuals" to a photo of a woman cuddling an android. He ends up corpsing ''hard'' at the end after spotting the vacuum hose and pointing out that ''one'' of them is cheating.
94** On the tail end of his video ''The Engoodening of VideoGame/NoMansSky'' he reads an erotic FanFiction written about the game's lead developer Sean Murray. You hear him audibly corpse up several times at some of the, ahem, more "juicy" parts of the story.
95** Similarly, he also laughs his ass off a ''lot'' during his dramatic reading of the, erm, "masterpiece" that is ''FanFic/MyImmortal''.
96---> '''Historian (Beginning part 3): Here we go! Draco and Vampire came to contort me! Suddenly -- (Stifles laughter)
97** During the video ''The Cost of Concordia'' it quickly cuts away to hide him breaking character and laughing at his "spaghetti of details" line, which shows footage of him actually digging through a pot of delicious-looking spaghetti and finding "THE DEETS" written on the bottom of the pot.
98---> There's a whole veritable spaghetti of details to unravel!
99---> ({{Beat}})
100---> There they are! THE DEETS!!! (Bursts out laughing)
101** During "Very Serious Business" you hear him just barely stifle a laugh when he talks about when S.O.S. Condoms let the internet decide which country they should go to after being booted from Dubai, and online trolls mass-voted for [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Batman,_Turkey Batman]], a "small conservative Muslim country in Turkey" [sic].
102* Jack (understandably) does this quite often In WebVideo/{{Jacksfilms}}' [[https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLA6687CF25DE17420 "Your Grammar Sucks"]] series. [[AudienceParticipation People are ''supposed'' to send him]] comments that are filled with horrible grammar, and as one can imagine, they're often pretty darn funny on their own, even without Jack's dramatic reading of them. He even ended up turning it into a ''drinking game.''[[note]] Once every 10 episodes, starting with [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=el5rMq0TMUM YGS 21]].[[/note]]
103* Creator/JimSterling has corpsed quite a few times when looking at games on Steam:
104** ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uKKvd_56B_0 DEAD TOWN OF WALKING ZOMBIES]]'', a zombie game brought from mobile to Steam, got Jim laughing at its ridiculous store description. The video is even subtitled "In Which Jim Sterling Literally Corpses".
105--->"See, because 'to corpse' in theatrical terms is to laugh out of character, and this zombie game is so funny I couldn't stop giggling. That's the joke of the video title."\
106"[[DontExplainTheJoke That is the joke of it. The video title.]]"
107** ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mI4zkWhzbqA WORST CASE Z]]'' had them gradually giggling more and more at the silly opening cutscene before they lose it completely when the main character starts dancing.
108** ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0osl8l-9gok EVE OF DESTRUCTION REDUX]]'', a.k.a. "The Game With Literally No Budget," had Jim chuckling at the overall bad AI and animations, but they were really laughing uncontrollably when the animations for the tanks got all wobbly, especially when they got caught on a particular cluster of trees.
109** ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E3fsZHN6Z9Q Esc: From Planet]]'' already had them laughing from the start upon catching sight of pterosaurs bumping back and forth between a truck and a UFO, but a poorly animated snake knocking over boxes made them crack up so badly that they had to pause the recording while they composed themself.
110* In WebAnimation/JoCat's ''A Crap Guide to [[TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons D&D]]: Character Sheet'', he barely gets through the phrase "pee-pee poo-poo watermelon" before devolving into chuckling.
111* In Creator/JohnFassold's ''How EVERY ______ Song Is Written'' Platform/YouTube series, he cracks up whenever he improvises a lyric the artist would actually use. Like when ending his Music/LanaDelRey video with "he's my devil in a Marlon Brando mask", a line he can barely even get through without laughing.
112* ''WebVideo/JonTron'':
113** During the ''VideoGame/ClockTower'' episode, Jon sees a weird purple... thing, which causes him to vomit candy corn... and immediately he starts laughing, clearly out of character. Soon joined by the cameraman.
114** During his ''[[Franchise/{{Barbie}} Barbie Games]]'' review when he remarks that Barbie on the title screen of ''Barbie: Game Girl'' looks like "fucking ''[[Literature/HarryPotter Voldemort]]''" you can see and hear him just barely stifling a laugh.
115*** Both of his "Clowns" line had to be cut extremely close as Jon was incapable of delivering the line without cracking up. The second time he says it his voice clearly cracks with the effort.
116** During his ''[[Creator/{{Disney}} Disney Knockoffs]]'' review when he gets to the '''''really''''' 'effed up [=DressUpWho=] ''WesternAnimation/{{Frozen|2013}}'' clickbait games like "Elsa Frozen Brain Surgery" and "Pregnant Elsa Foot Check-Up", he doesn't even attempt to stifle laughter as he describes the increasingly weird and honestly disgusting games the site has to offer.
117** During ''[[VideoGame/Nightshade1992 Nightshade: The Claws of HEUGH]]'' after declaring "[[LargeHam I AIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIN'T HAVIN' THAT SHIT!!!]]" he looks straight at the camera and you see him just starting to laugh as it cuts away.
118** During one of his mid-review shorts advertising an appearance at [=MAGFest=] he absolutely kills it on the harmonica for about 30 full seconds and can't hold in his laughter once he finishes.
119** During "Dr. Ho: License to Practice", when Jon is pretending to be a doctor in a room literally ''wallpapered'' from roof to floor in fake degrees, you can clearly hear the camera man sputter and laugh at a couple of Jon's audacious statements.
120---> '''Jontron:''' You know, my patients are always telling me "Doc, I'm following all your advice, I'm following your regiment to a tee, and I've still got back pain!" And I tell them the same thing every time: it's really not my fucking problem.
121---> (Camera man laughs)
122---> '''Jontron:''' I'm like dude, what do you want from me, right? I don't know what to do. You want a refund on a friggin' back massage?
123---> (Camera man laughs again)
124---> '''Jontron:''' Okay, yeah! If you pay the restocking fee!
125** During "[[https://youtu.be/FBHL-uOeff Regis Philbin's Epic Workout]]" he has a bit where a co-worker asks for scissors and Jon, who has been working out and doesn't know his own strength anymore, ''accidentally throws the desk across the room'', and then accidentally hands the guy a stapler and scolds him for saying he wanted scissors. The ''entire'' time Jon is dressing him down for being too needy and only thinking about himself, the guy is just sitting there with the stapler in a death grip clearly trying not to laugh.
126* WebVideo/{{Kitboga}} is a scambaiter popular on Platform/{{Twitch}} and Platform/YouTube. Kit will often have to turn aside to chuckle at the sheer ridiculousness of something happening on one of the phone calls with the scammers. This is generally easy enough, given that it's a phone call, and the time spent not talking can easily be played off as something like not hearing the scammer, therefore wasting a bit more of their time.
127** In [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VQW8jQhhkQw this video]] about puppy scams, he can't help from busting out laughing at the site's claim that a particular individual puppy is "backordered," though he manages to recover enough to keep the scammer from getting suspicious.
128** In [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F0peLpovDB8 another video]], Kitboga runs a fake/parody version of Windows called "Windows [=RG=]" (actually not the first time he's done it) simply to see if the scammers will even notice. As a scammer tries to claim that everything going on his happening because of a virus, he cracks up and notes on the screen "Scammer can hear this."
129** While he normally does a valiant job keeping the scammer from hearing his laughter, even he has his limits as seen during his [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B8gTT8e_IiA Clueless Scammer Rages Over Losing $15,000 $ His Bank Account]] video. He starts to tell one of his long-winded pointless stories where he tells the scammer the guy reminds him of a younger him, and claims if he could tell his younger self anything it would be [[NoodleIncident not to marry]] "[[PsychoExGirlfriend Trisha]]." He can't get it out and bursts out laughing, and the scammer, desperate to win his trust and keep him on the line, rolls with it and pretends like he thought "the joke was funny."
130* During ''WebVideo/LegalEagle's'' video "Illegal in the US, Legal in the World", you hear him stifle a laugh when he describes that the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FUrrk4QSnXM&t=123s US Customs and Border Protection Service issued a press release warning people to not smuggle Kinder Eggs into the USA]].
131* [[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4mvIQntW-fX27Ez-U-KDHw Luke Correia]] is a Platform/YouTube channel that does {{Dramatic reading}}s of weird social media posts, only occasionally losing composure. "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RXqbCsraP10 Sweet Sixteen]]" is one of those times, with him bursting out laughing while trying to deliver the punchline. Another standout is "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2qlrJ3mzLd4 Allen]]", his reaction to a very strange Website/UrbanDictionary entry.
132* ''WebVideo/{{max0r}}'': A common gag is for max0r to start laughing at his own jokes even as he makes them. It generally happens at least [[OnceAnEpisode once a video]], if not more often. Several examples include referring to his viewers as "my fellow sigma males" or cracking up at his mangling of [[VideoGame/EldenRing Raya Lucaria]] as "Malaysia Lucario".
133* Due to it being unscripted, this sometimes happens in ''WebVideo/MidnightScreenings'':
134** When Dave and Brian reviewed ''Creator/TylerPerry's A Madea Christmas'', Dave referred to a character as "[[CountryMatters Cunty]] [[NameMcAdjective McMomface]]". This caused Brian's wife, Leddie, who usually [[TheGhost hides quietly in the back seat]], to burst into laughter.
135** Jake and Irving's review of ''Film/SavingChristmas'' also has a moment where both of them laugh for over a minute straight at the latter calling a character a "negress".
136* ''WebVideo/MothersBasement'':
137** When discussing adaptational changes in ''Literature/SpiceAndWolf'', he's discussing the pros and cons of the digital version vs. the giant DoorStopper adaptation he's holding. Since this involves displaying the digital version on his phone as he starts talking about the advantages of that format, leaving him holding a ridiculously large book with one hand, he swiftly loses his grip.
138--->'''Geoff:''' (chuckling) ...Portability being a big one.
139** In his "Worst Anime of 2021" video, he realizes that when writing that a terrorist character "blows herself up", he forgot to type one word, leaving the sentence as "[[AccidentalInnuendo blows herself]]". He immediately goes off-script to talk about the typo and how he doesn't know why a thing this childish is so funny to him, laughing more and more as he goes.
140* WebVideo/MrBallen sometimes loses it during sillier versions of his RunningGag about absurd abuse directed toward the [=YouTube=] Like button.
141* WebVideo/TheNostalgiaChick and WebVideo/ToddInTheShadows:
142** In their comparison video of ''Film/SleeplessInSeattle'' and ''Film/WhenHarryMetSally'', you can see her fighting not to crack up when he says "''Sleepless In Seattle'' made my balls shrivel"[[note]]This is because the line was originally scripted as "''Sleepless in Seattle'' made my testicles shrivel" but Todd literally ''could not'' go through the line without fluffing it as "Sleepless in Seatticle", so the line was changed, but she's still trying not to laugh remembering the earlier takes[[/note]] and later ranting at a ''Sleepless'' character who just lets his fiancee break up with him.
143** You can also see her fighting off a smirk at the end of Todd's "NOW KIIIIIIISS!" bit from the ''Film/FromJustinToKelly'' review.
144** Their review of ''Film/{{Crossroads|2002}}'' cuts to the credits just as Lindsay is about to laugh at Todd ordering her to leave his house.
145** In Creator/LindsayEllis's post-Channel Awesome solo work, while discussing the downfall of the Hollywood movie musical through awkward, overdone trend-chasing, she brings up the "turd in the wind" line from the trailer for ''Film/Venom2018'', then works it into a parody of the "tears in the rain" speech from ''Film/BladeRunner''. As soon as she finishes, she collapses laughing.
146** In his One Hit Wonderland episode for "It's Raining Man", Todd barely holds his laughter as he sings Christmas versions of other one hit wonders.
147* [[Creator/AllisonPregler Obscurus Lupa]]:
148** She of crude humor, made highbrow [[WebVideo/BrowsHeldHigh Oancitizen]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jftQA_vsvBM corpse constantly]] in their crossover review of ''Hamlet The Vampire Slayer''. This led to her mocking Kyle over having been in film school but not being able to keep a straight face, her giving him ''tips'' on it, and him begging her to stop being funny and at one point exclaiming "This person! This person is just like hitting me at certain points in my - neurons and just making me burst out laughing and I don't know ''how'' she's doing it, but it's pinpoint! And it's [[MilkingTheGiantCow uncontrollable]] and it's - I'm never working with you again." "Pinky promise!"
149** Kyle and WebVideo/TheNostalgiaChick did a crossover review of ''Film/FreddyGotFingered''; in the bloopers, he accuses her of "Lupa-ing".
150** Amusingly, he later causes this at his review of ''Film/TromeoAndJuliet'' with WebVideo/TheCinemaSnob, as the Snob is clearly holding/hiding laughter as Kyle lists some ParallelPornTitles based on Shakespeare.
151** Kyle gets another turn while watching ''Film/MisterLonely''. After bringing up a subplot featuring Creator/WernerHerzog leading a convent full of nuns in an unspecified country, he "discusses" its connection to the main plot (which is about celebrity impersonators) by staring at the camera for a period while smiling awkwardly. His friend and title card artist Ven Gethenian leans in, comments "[[Film/MontyPythonAndTheHolyGrail A moose once bit my sister,]]" and Kyle's fixed expression dissolves into giggles.
152* ''WebVideo/OutsideXbox'' has two variations of this. Sometimes, they'll have someone in the scene crack up; about two-thirds of the time, it'll end up in the end-of-year bloopers rather than the episode. Other times, someone just out of the camera's field of view will go into hysterics as a result of a line. For example, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FMuwUnvuCrA 5 Game Movies We Love]] has Jane delivering a speech about how ''Film/SilentHill'' let [[ChronicallyKilledActor Sean Bean]] go free, then wonder out loud what her point was, again...and Andy, just offscreen, audibly dies laughing. Ellen Rose tends to be particularly bad about it, spending multiple "Show of the Weekend" videos laughing at nearly everything Luke does - although since "Show of the Weekend" is supposed to feel laid-back and friendly, it doesn't get cut and generally makes the videos funnier. This came to a head when Andy and Luke were discussing upcoming games coming out in October of 2022, the first one being ''VideoGame/APlagueTaleRequiem'', which is a game primarily focused around rats eating people. The full uncut stream had the two of them taking nearly three minutes to get through it, frequently stopping to laugh and swear.
153* ''WebVideo/PhilosophyTube'''s Abigail Thorn is a trained actor and edits her videos, meaning that corpsing is usually cut out of the final product and put in the extras and deleted scenes for patreon supporters. Sometimes, however, a joke so gets to her that she leaves it in, like with Julius Evola's insistence that he wasn't a fascist, [[InsistentTerminology but a SUPER-fascist]], in the video on Steve Bannon's philosophy.
154* Happens in a few ''Music/PostModernJukebox'' videos, like whenever [[{{Keet}} the Tamborine Guy]] is on stage, or in the ''Westernanimation/PinkyAndTheBrain'' cover, [[https://youtu.be/OqMs9WsJg2k?t=41 when the singer leaves the stage in a sultry manner leading the drummer to crack a smile before returning to a poker face]].
155* WebVideo/ProZD [[https://youtu.be/oymWAeqv_-c reading the]] AsLongAsItSoundsForeign list of names from ''Fighting Baseball''. One is so unpronounceable he laughs mid-attempt.
156* It's almost ridiculously common for LetsPlay/{{raocow}} to burst into laughter when something in-game amuses him. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ErXL1DkJgLQ This]] is probably his most famous, where a silly looking boss sprite causes him to spend nearly ''two minutes'' laughing uncontrollably.
157* On [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x94zXO02VPU one episode]] of WebVideo/RedLetterMedia's "Best of the Worst", none of the panelists can get through a list of Nick Millard's films without cracking up.
158* ''WebVideo/{{Rerez}}:''
159** During his review of the ''Worst Plug & Play Console Ever 2'' he gets to a game called ''Magic Jony'' and can't keep it together while trying to read the game's prologue which is written in hilariously horrible {{Engrish}}:
160--->BECAUSE NUTRITION SUCKED BY THE HUGE MONSTERS, SOR ALL THE PLANTS HAVE SHRIVING ONE. THIS ATMOSPHERE OF PEACE HAS BEEN DESTOYED.\
161THE GREEN LAND IS BECOMING TO WASTELAND. AND PEOPLES LIVES WERE ALSO THREATEN BY MONSTERS.\
162TILL ONE DAY, A LITTLE HERO CALLED JONY HAS COME UP, HE MUST DEFEAT ALL THESE MONSTERS (starts laughing) BY HIS MAGIC FLOWER.
163** And during his ''Just Bad Games'' segment when ripping ''Chicken Blaster'' a new one, they mock the poorly drawn chicken on the cover and you hear them both burst out laughing when "[[LargeHam SCIENCE]]", a {{Synchrovox}}ed sentient beaker, answers their call for help:
164---> It's like some freak teleportation experiment has gone awry! Quick! Notify science!
165---> '''SCIENCE:''' THIS IS SCIENCE! ''I DON'T CARE!!!''
166** During his ''Worst Ever'' video about the Platform/HyperScan, when he does his "INTELLICARDS" bit where he's wearing a sideways hat and upside-down glasses, the camera zooms in on his face in the end and you can see his mouth quivering as he struggles not to grin the entire time.
167* ''WebVideo/{{Retsupurae}}'':
168** During his [[DramaticReading Crappy Pasta]] videos, slowbeef and Diabetus are both prone to cracking up during the worst parts. In ''Slowbeef's House of Horror: Recipe of Death'', there's a couple of outtakes where slowbeef burst into laughter when trying to read it.
169** There's one incident where, while reviewing one of LetsPlay/BillyMC's videos of ''VideoGame/SuperMarioAllStars'', both slowbeef and Diabetus dissolve into laughter on the initial take when Billy mentions his mom getting UsefulNotes/McDonalds while she was doing Christmas shopping (they had a RunningGag where they assumed Billy was neglected by his family, and Billy's wording about the Christmas shopping made it sound like the [=McDonald's=] ''[[ConvenienceStoreGiftShopping was]]'' the Christmas gift).
170** During [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lKCfguqW53U Newgrounds Hunt Live! - Where's My Family?]], slowbeef completely loses it when the bad writing and poorly drawn art culminate in a ridiculous(-looking) note from the Murderer.
171** Their Kickstarters Nonstarters [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xd7DSewwWpQ episode]] for "Cage Hat" has slowbeef slowly being overcome with snickering while he and Diabetus watch the video and read the description. Then they catch sight of the Kickstarter for its prototype, "Bubble Hat," and slowbeef loses it for 10 minutes.
172* In ''WebVideo/RollerSamuraiVampireSlayers'', Allison is trying everything in her power to not burst out laughing as Darma (Phelan) is screeching {{Angrish}} as her.
173* WebVideo/{{Saberspark}}:
174** In his review of ''WesternAnimation/TheNuttiestNutcracker'', Saberspark tries valiantly and fails to get through the line "[[DoubleEntendre Are you telling me he had to bust the biggest nut to save the princess?]]" without cracking up, and eventually just gives up trying. Though to be fair, it would take an unusually clean mind to actually pull it off.
175** In his review of ''WesternAnimation/ChristmasInNewYork'', he actually breaks down laughing while trying to explain the movie's absurd plot.
176** He struggles with saying Schmuby Productions' name with a straight face in his review of ''WesternAnimation/UnicornWars''.
177* ''[=SnapCube=]'s WebVideo/RealTimeFandub'' has a lot of this, with the voice actors often cracking themselves up at their own jokes (with other cast members also proceeding to lose it). Some examples:
178** Alfred trying not to laugh when threatening to "shoot Amy in the fucking face" in the VideoGame/SonicAdventure2 dub.
179** From the same dub, Penny cracks up when she says, "Yeah, but we can fix it, I promise!" in response to Eggman angrily declaring that everyone's fucked his wife. It has the added bonus of making Sonic sound [[BlatantLies not at all sincere.]]
180** Chase managing to make it through his entire "gamer pad" scene from the [[VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog2006 Sonic 06]] dub before starting to corpse when Mephiles declares himself to be an "alpha gamer".
181* WebVideo/StuartAshen normally keeps a perfect British StiffUpperLip, but he has lost it on camera quite a few times when something incredibly absurd catches him by surprise.
182** One notable time was when he discovered that one of the games in his [[ShoddyKnockoffProduct Pop Station]] was titled [[BlindIdiotTranslation "Chanticleer Hegemony."]]
183** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CSO1KWLGd50#t=5m26s Another time]] when he discovered that the knockoff iPhone he was reviewing had [[SchizoTech an old-fashion television aerial]], he laughed so hard he had to cut the recording and thank god for this gift to improvised comedy.
184** Knockoffs are usually good for a laugh, but a [[https://youtu.be/UEr93uEq65s?t=420 knockoff Troll He-Man hybrid]] manages to destroy his composure ''instantly'' upon bringing it in front of the camera. It's hard to blame him.
185** One [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=adkWiJA9xR0 violin toy]] had him laughing so hard at the {{Engrish}} description inside the box flap that he had to completely stop the recording and start over in a new video the next day.
186** In the ''Toy Box, Geek Gear July 2016'' video, Ashen jokingly predicts that he'll be getting a copy of the notorious E.T. game in one of the boxes he's reviewing later. And then as it turns out, he does. Cue precision F-strike followed by technical difficulties screen, and when he resumes he was still struggling to regain composure.
187* In [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8CP5A4Mic-c this video]], WebVideo/TBSkyen's discussion of the aesthetics of ''Film/PokemonDetectivePikachu'' is interrupted by frequent bewildered exclamations, but at 11:11 he dissolves into incoherent laughter at the sight of a furious Jigglypuff in a crappy dive bar.
188* One of the outtake clips from the ''WebVideo/TechnologyConnections'' video about lanterns has Alec blow a take when he starts laughing at his name for lantern aficionados: "Dietz Nuts".
189* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KQ1Zg34MP9o Tech Rules]], when dissecting the code for ''VideoGame/BaldisBasicsInEducationAndLearning'', corpses so hard he can't even finish giving a shout out to his sponsor, ''a hair loss treatment'', which just happened to sponsor a video about a character named ''Baldi''.
190--> After all, you don't want to end up bitter and angry like our hairless friend Baldi (bursts out laughing) For the record I didn't plan this -- the video topic and the sponsor just happened to line up.
191* ''WebVideo/TodayIFoundOut'': In the video [[https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=YfFBacmJBqY How Do We Pee and Why Can't We Do It Anytime?]] Simmon Whistler cracks up several times. The first time happens because he said "travel urinal" and his accent made it sound funny.
192* ''WebVideo/TwoBestFriendsPlay'':
193** In the ''Super Best Friends Play'' LetsPlay of ''VideoGame/ParasiteEve'' Pat forgot to turn off his notifications, causing a pop-up for the download of [[spoiler:''VideoGame/ArcanaHeart 3 LOVE MAX!!!!!'']]. Pat and Woolie promptly spent a solid thirty seconds laughing uncontrollably.
194** Happens again near the end of their LP of ''VideoGame/DevilMayCry3DantesAwakening'', where a dramatic close up of Vergil is interrupted by the notification that [[spoiler:''VideoGame/DevilMayCry4'']] had finished downloading...they spend the rest of the cutscene laughing.
195--->'''Woolie:''' ''Now'' I'm '''MOTIVATED!'''
196* Brazilian web series WebVideo/{{UTC}}, centering around two people reading [[SoUnfunnyItsFunny "jokes"]] until someone laughs, [[https://youtu.be/wHvW1xyvHRA?t=114 once had a contestant losing]] because the combination of a silly voice - as she's a dubber, she pointed out it's the one she used for Gran in ''WesternAnimation/TheCroods'' - plus misreading due to the lack of glasses made herself laugh.
197* Platform/{{Vine}}:
198** [[https://youtu.be/GAdVvfcZw04 One]] had a guy doing a VideoGame/DukeNukem impression with the line " 'I'm here to kick gum and chew ass, and I'm all out of ass.' -Dick Kickem", and utterly failing to keep from cracking up. The vine has been incorporated into some Try Not to Laugh challenges.
199** [[https://youtu.be/F4MFwNivgP4 This one]] has a man holding a pear with a face bitten/carved in it, singing "[[WesternAnimation/TheNightmareBeforeChristmas This is Halloween]]", only to burst into loud laughter after the first line, while holding up the pear to make it look like ''it's'' the one laughing.
200* During [[WebVideo/ZeroPunctuation Yahtzee's]] LetsPlay of ''VideoGame/{{Normality}}'', Gabriel says the phrase "Booby-Booby-Bum-Bum"... which sends the normally stoic Yahtzee into crazy laughing fits.
201* In the Series/YouCantDoThatOnTelevision fan-pilot, ''[[http://www.ycdtotv.com/ysc/index.php?p=info You Still Can't]]'', Kenny can be seen smiling [[FreezeFrameBonus briefly when]] [[GenderBlenderName she]] [[CoveredInGunge gets slimed]] for uttering the infamous {{Catchphrase}}, '[[TheScottishTrope I don't know]]'. For context, most of the scene is her arguing with Buzz about the [[ComesGreatResponsibility responsibilities]] of being a good host.
