Talk:Corpsing

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Saw a link for this on the article for laughter and figured I'd better write it up, but I don't know much about original article creation, so if someone wants to tidy this up or something, feel free. --NaOH 07:34, 26 May 2006 (UTC)

Pretty sure this phrase comes from an incident or incidents where characters in a stage play who are supposed to be dead begin laughing. Might try to dig up (forgive the pun) a reference. 86.42.124.92 05:44, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

I have also heard the phrase "you're killing it" when referring to 'unwanted' laughter in jokes. Is this related? If it has a link it should probably go in the article. --Gigitrix (talk) 22:11, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] References

On the IMDB trivia page for this series, they refer to the film speeding and slowing to mask the corpsing. In fact, this bit of trivia was what led me to this article since I didn't know what they were talking about. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Jhlynes (talk • contribs) 07:11, 6 May 2007 (UTC).

[edit] now that Jimmy Fallon has officially been listed as Conan O'Brien's replacement...

...you'd think that Fallon's name would be mentioned in this article as a famous, recent example of someone addicted to "corpsing". :) 199.214.26.226 (talk) 21:05, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
