Surely the 'epic flounce by Surfmatt' thread has to be a contender: it was toe-curlingly awful watching someone declare their 'awesomeness' in such a gloriously self-destructive manner.
This thread would be better with links to all the other threads for those of us that missed them
I bloody bored. Let me give it a go...
Messiah’s nettle thread is also a worthy contender. Missed.
If that's the one I think it is, I think it's best forgotten.
Long ago there was a thread about tea making that I appreciated by how very self aware and meta it was. Plus Chipps replied to my comment about teasmaids and kept the analogy going wonderfully.
Might just be me cos it doesn't get mentioned as often as the ones above (or at all) but my favourite was McMoonter's "what do I do with these storm blown trees" one. Pretty much followed closely by every other thread McMoonter has started, ever.
Lots of amusing threads but my favourite which is still going strong is the "What is the last thing you made" 100% positive and inspiring.
"Argh, my eye" has got to be a contender.
Just using the unscientific 'what is the first one that springs to mind' method was the "You have taken my sport away from me" rant someone launched at Superstar Components.
Thirty-three tooth narrow/wide was a particular highlight for me too - and the fact that a few people were genuinely taken in by it for a bit.
wifi-wife. It's for things like this the internet was made for.
Here's some mentioned ealier in this thread:

Honourable or maybe dis-honourable mention for Fatsimon's shagging thread!
If you're going to read any of the ones I posted, may I suggest "nettles"..
I didn't see that film thread first time, but I preferred the one where you remove one letter from the title, give a synopsis and let people guess what it is.
I lol'ed at:
There's a ghostly papermill in the field at the end of my garden
and particularly
A really really horrid man from Monte Cristo.
As Cougar said up there^^ (still can’t get quote to work) Argh, my eye is brilliant. I also love Gifs you can watch all day and the Lings cars thread.
What is the last thing you made, thread.
I know piss all about Brexit, or TM cricket, but I can whittle a spot of wood so it's nice to have a thread I can contribute to.
Really love seeing all that folks make. It's very inspiring.
Always love the weekly weekend riding pics threads too.
the one where you remove one letter from the title

They get annoying towards the end when the repeats come thick and fast!

Indoor / outdoor boyfriend?
Just tread through the wife signal. That has, quite frankly, made my day!
I used to like the Photos thread, but amongst it it got a bit “that’s shit”, “why is it?”, “the people in it look staged”
and so on.
Some wonderful photos in it though.
Been some good "Can you help with a Photoshop" ones too... the bakery tricycle one springs to mind...
Kayak's shed thread and mcmoonters pool / studio build?
Indoor / outdoor boyfriend?
Ah yes, another thread that reveals [s] the [/s] one of the freak(s) among us.
It’s like Desert Island Threads. “You get the complete works of Binners.”
Something about removing a wasps’ nest from the loft sticks in my mind.
Probably a stupid question, but is there a thread about headsets?
I lol’ed at:

I don't get the first one? The second is brilliant.
Can anyone bring up 'meeting Dave in the woods' thread from geetee1973?
please

A thread about head-what?

Yeah! but you didn't like to say so as not to offend the culprits (some of them regular posters!) 😆

Mumsnet Oxo Tower/ Centre Parks was great.

WifeFi was very funny

I'm going to wee in your shoes for making .e read all the posts to see if someone mentioned weeing in shoes.
PS did someone mention weeing in shoes? CBA to read all the posts

That's why we need periodic reminders to say something stupid or funny. Unfortunately, I'm exceptionally good at the former and terrible at the latter, so depend upon you lot to steer it in the right direction.
I love how all the OPs have drifted into the middle of the page, rendering most of the threads completely confusing. Forum Update FTW, etc.

Aye, it is a bit like the Greatest Hits Album they chuck out just before the band starts dying off.
