Shouldn't Laugh But...Laura Smyth & Carmen Butcher

“If you’ve got enough Pringles and pickled onions in the house, you can survive the gooch.”We’re deep in the gooch of Christmas - that strange limbo of “it’s going to be a lot of woodland walks” and finally using the bath salts you were gifted from your Auntie who doesn't really know you.For Day 4, Laura and Carmen tackle one of the craziest stories of 2025: Bonnie Blue allegedly shagging the nation.In case you missed it (how could you?), OnlyFans creator Bonnie Blue claimed she slept with 1,057 men in 12 hours - supposedly breaking a world record.Laura can barely get on the Central Line, let alone manage numbers like that.They unpack the chaos of the queue, including mums loudly cussing out their sons, and question how it’s even physically possible to have sex with that many people.And don’t worry, the Christmas cracker viral moments coming up next are promised to be a little more savoury.Email us your ‘Shouldn’t Laugh But...’ Moments!

“Let them be beasts!”It’s Boxing Day and Day 3 of the 12 Laughs of Christmas. Today, the girls dive headfirst into the controversy surrounding the Shrek 5 teaser trailer and its truly terrible CGI… seriously, has Shrek been on Ogre-zempic?Plus, Laura spills the beans on what Boxing Day looks like in the Smyth household- a gloriously selfish affair that includes watching My Fair Lady, complete with some highly questionable accents thrown in for good measure (sorry, Audrey Hepburn).And Carmen is standing her ground: Die Hard IS a Christmas film. But that raises the ultimate festive question-what actually is the best Christmas movie? Home Alone? Elf? National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation? Let the debate begin. 🎄Email us your ‘Shouldn’t Laugh But...’ Moments!

“Santa can’t come down the chimney if you’re tight - am I right!?”MERRY CHRISTMAS, you beautiful, chaotic bunch! It’s the 25th of December, and Laura and Carmen are still grafting their way through The 12 Laughs of Christmas - because joy doesn’t clock off for bank holidays.Today, they’re unwrapping one of the most ICONIC moments of the year… honestly, maybe even the century. Yes, we’re talking about the time Coldplay’s Chris Martin accidentally exposed Astronomer CEO Andy Byron getting extra festive with his HR staffer on the Kiss Cam at a Boston gig. The moral of the story? If you’re playing away, maybe don’t do it in 4K on a stadium screen the size of a small planet.Plus, Laura and Carmen debate the greatest Christmas bangers, the ultimate cheese board essentials, and what Christmas morning really looks like in their houses - including a deeply suspicious 9am boiled ham. And of course… presents. Because nothing says Christmas quite like unwrapping something you’ll politely pretend to love for the sake of social harmony.Email us your ‘Shouldn’t Laugh But...’ Moments!
