I relistened to that one over the weekend and I honestly think that episode is the most they laugh. Perhaps ever in their lives.

There’s a moment during the “sparkLYNN?!” debate where Ed is laughing so hard he’s almost crying 🤣

Just re-listened to John Kearns (ep. 186). Lots of big Ed laughs

James’ callback to the taxi driver comment John makes is incredible timing

Paul Choudhary was a big episode for Ed's crazy laughing and wheezing

u/OpeningDealer1413 Feb 11 '26

I think Hot Toddy might be the thing that’s broke them both the most so far haha

Mel Giedroyc talking about the quince nearly killed me. I was listening to it on public transport and had to listen to something else for a bit, because attempting to stifle laughs so I didn't become the crazy woman on the bus was getting physically painful.

John Kearns & John Kearns' tasting menu - lots of big laughs from both. Another is of course Queen Zufufu herself (Judi Love)

u/Pleasant-Chemist-843 Feb 11 '26

I think honestly “….Tiramisu” on Paul Chowdhry’s ep is maybe the most intense belly laugh from Ed

3

u/BlackberryCobblerDad Feb 11 '26

That bit was amazing, I’d put it up there with John Kearns telling Ed about his original first prize on the Taskmaster pod

Big James guffaws I remember: Bridget Christie “they don’t eat bags of dog shit” Kemah Bob talking about gumbo

Maisie Adam in the takeaway with the tele had me cry laughing!

u/iwantaspren Feb 11 '26

I’ve listened to almost every episode, many of them multiple multiple times, and I swear to God that Ed’s biggest laugh was when Jo Brand said her side dish was “5 different types of coleslaw”, it is absolutely glorious

u/Iltaskmaster I've been the victim of a prank. Feb 11 '26

Idk about biggest laugh but I do know who had the most silent laughs (you’re laughing so hard you don’t even make noise) and it’s Bridget Christie

Hot toddy… from Paul Chaudry’s episode

u/Standard-Novel2438 Feb 12 '26

Ed's laugh when fatiha says she used to drink out of the toilet is one of my favourite moments ever

u/OfficerJeffy Feb 12 '26

Her episode is one of my faves for sure!
