"Corpsing" (also called "breaking") is actor-speak for having an unscripted fit of laughter onstage, so-called because the worst time to have the giggles is when one is playing a corpse. Corpsing doesn't necessarily mean that the material is especially funny (though, of course, it can be), or that the actors aren't taking it seriously; it just happens, and even excellent actors can corpse. Many actors try to cover this by covering their mouth and muffling the sounds they make. When this is done, a fit of laughter can rather haphazardly be turned into violent sobbing, with varying levels of success. Of course, that only helps if violent crying is appropriate for the scene (again, playing a corpse leaves you in trouble, as corpses don't cry either — usually). Some actors, of course, will try their level best to make other actors corpse. It seems to be a feather in one's cap of some sort, to either be the guy who never corpses, or the guy who can make even the guy who never corpses corpse. Bonus points if you're working in a scene with a very seasoned and well-respected actor. Even if they have a great sense of humor in real life, getting someone the caliber of Robert De Niro or Meryl Streep to get the giggles is a big achievement. At other times, it is just mean to tell an actor to keep a straight face on camera while watching a character bounce off the walls. And if somebody happens to have Contagious Laughter, you're in real trouble. It's rare to see extras corpsing in the background. The main cast can get away with corpsing without being fired because they're too important to easily replace. But if they manage to get through a take without laughing, and then an extra ruins the scene by laughing in the background, that extra will probably be let go on the spot and blacklisted from future projects. The constant threat of being instantly fired does wonders to help one keep one's composure. A common type of Hilarious Outtakes. On the other hand, can be subject to Throw It In — if the work is a comedy and the actors are able to recover in time for their next line, it can make for a natural aversion of Tough Room. Opposite of The Stoic; see also Not So Stoic. When this happens on an In-Universe show, it's a subtrope of The Show Must Go Wrong. Compare Holding in Laughter, when characters In-Universe struggle to keep a straight face, and Angrish, when it's anger that prevents someone from speaking coherently. When the hapless individual actually is trying to play a corpse, this can overlap with The Living Dead. Has nothing to do with Joker's laughing gas that makes people laugh to death (although some overlap is surely imaginable). |

Harrow the Ninth: In Harrow's last Elseworld, she specifically notes that Jeannemary looks like she's trying not to laugh; Harrow doesn't understand why. Jeannemary is in fact the actual soul of the dead woman, who Harrow unconsciously summoned to fill a role in the alternate reality she built up. Harrow summoned a bunch of ghosts to act out her Coffee Shop AU Fic centered around her crush. It's no wonder Jeannemary can barely keep it together. Jeannemary's necromancer Isaac, on the other hand, is clearly trying to just flatly get through his lines as fast as possible. | |

Since the podcast episodes are recordings from a live stage show, The Thrilling Adventure Hour has its share of corpsing during shows. The most famous example would be the episode "The Thing From This Same Planet," a Sparks Nevada episode where faithful Martian companion Croach the Tracker (played by Mark Gagliardi) is being impersonated by Jupiter spy Jib Janeen (voiced by Paul F. Tompkins). Tompkins' comments when Sparks Nevada is singing the theme song causes Sparks' actor Marc Evan Jackson to crack up mid-song. | |

Similarly, a blooper reel for a Wired video starring Cookie Monster and John Oliver as news anchors revealed most of the shoot was just Cookie getting Oliver to lose it. At least once, though, after Cookie remarks that he found a vintage '80s cookie crumb in his fur, Oliver's reply ("That was in the good old days before the FDA regulated it") makes Cookie's performer David Rudman giggle. | |

The Letters Page, the lore and backstory podcast for Sentinels of the Multiverse, is mostly pretty improvisational and the hosts cracking up occasionally isn't unexpected, but a particularly notable one happens in the KNYFE episode. When they're talking about the arc in their fictional comics company where KNYFE goes to space in pursuit of the flying head of the monster Progeny, Christopher Badell says that the miniseries is called Headhunter, and the next few seconds of the recording are just Adam Rebottaro quietly losing it. | |

Subverted whole-hog on The Muppet Show where Statler and Waldorf and the cast of "Veterinarian's Hospital" usually laugh at their own wisecracks and you can't help but laugh along. In her guest appearance, Rita Moreno is clearly struggling not to laugh while dealing with a misbehaving Animal during their performance of the song "Fever". In Valerie Harper's episode, the Swedish Chef throwing spice around and failing to hit the cake he's trying to decorate is soundtracked by Richard Hunt laughing his ass off. |

The Knight Hunters Hilarious Outtakes involve the dub actors cracking up midline at the show's ridiculous plot points. Rachael Lillis starts screaming with laughter after witnessing her character's boyfriend's sudden death when a car falls on him from a bridge above, and continues giggling and mocking the incident the whole way through the eye-catch and into the next scene. She actually syncs up her giggling with the character's Big "NO!", as well. | |

The Co-Optional Podcast: This is often bound to occur, particularly when there have been moments where Jesse Cox would attempt to make the relatively stoic TotalBiscuit crack. An early instance occurred in TGS Podcast #10 where during the middle of the discussion, a woman enters Jesse's room and starts cleaning the shelf behind him. Jesse promptly loses it (albeit silently) and points her out causing TB and Dodger to start dying with the latter leaning out of frame to compose herself while JonTron sits there oblivious to it for a good fifteen seconds. He finally notices and starts laughing just after Dodger gets a hold of herself and leans back into frame causing her to start again. Finally after the woman leaves only to come back moments later causing Jesse to turn his webcam off and the others start laughing all over again. It's a full minute and a half of continued laughter from all four of them and a shining example of how contagious TB, Jesse, and Dodger's laughter can be. |

Gideon the Ninth: Dulcinea has a habit of laughing at inappropriate moments, especially when talking to Gideon about how she (Dulcinea) would prefer to die. "Dulcinea" is actually an immortal Lyctor who has been dying for ten thousand years, and she's the one killing everyone in the book. So yes, she's laughing about how everyone is trying to find the killer and ignoring the poor girl with cancer. | |

Taskmaster Greg often corpses when trying to keep in-character as the mean, arrogant, and narcissistic Taskmaster, so much so that he'll often struggle not to laugh when ego-tripping. A great example of this is Series 5, Episode 5, when he tries to describe the Taskmaster trophy as "an overtly sensual statue" — he shudders trying to hold in a laugh while doing so, which makes the audience burst out laughing, and because of that he can't help but have a big goofy grin on his face and keeps struggling not to laugh until the camera's off of him. Then, not five minutes later, he learns Mark Watson stole his pants for his entry as "the most high-octane item" — all he can manage in reaction is stunned silence before completely breaking character and bursting out in laughter, much to the delight of all the other comedians. While Alex normally plays the role of The Comically Serious and Straight Man to the various comedians during their tasks, you definitely see him struggling to hide a big grin at times. Probably the most difficult time he ever had was when Liza Tarbuck forced him to drop his pants and sit on a cake. While he does a valiant job keeping a straight face describing how "it was so... in him", her reaction is enough to make him briefly break character and begin laughing as the camera cuts away. |

Red vs. Blue: In almost every set of Hilarious Outtakes, there's at least one of Matt Hullum (Sarge, Doc, and Wyoming's voice actor) cracking up in the middle of his lines, not only because they're usually hilarious, but also because he often doesn't read them before recording. The end credits song of Season 15 has Jen Brown clearly laughing herself silly after the last verse, given both the ridiculous lyrics and the fact she was enjoying herself by singing badly. |

Played with in one episode of My Hero Academia, in which the corpsing of a seemingly-dead villain (played by All Might) during a training exercise turns out to actually have been a hint that the villain was Not Quite Dead, and not genuine corpsing. The protagonists fail the exercise as a result and are flabbergasted that the faculty would play a trick like that. During one of the OVA, where the students do rescue training, Uraraka is supposed to be "unconscious" while Iida plays a hysterical civilian. Iida's acting is so over the top that Uraraka struggles to hold her laughter in the whole time, Spit Take included. |

A more straight example occurs during the Reunion Tour-interlude of The Adventure Zone. Merle (Clint) and Taako (Justin) are tasked with convincing Lucretia to let them into her office unguarded in order to find the second Voidfish. Merle begins a passionate speech about the loss of Magnus (who's still alive), and how many great times they had in Lucretia's office, just the three of them, alone. During the entire speech, Justin can be heard desperately trying not to laugh, eventually interrupting the speech to clarify that he's not laughing in-game before breaking into hysterics. Even then, the next thing Taako says comes out in a fit of giggles. | |

Carrie has a tragic example. When the pig's blood is poured on Carrie at the prom, most of the other kids are horrified. But they start laughing out of nervousness — Norma Watson later writing that it was a form of Laughing Mad from the horror of the situation. Carrie, however, interprets this as everyone laughing at her misfortune... and does not take it well. | |

LoadingReadyRun's podcast Qwerpline is mostly improvised, though with edits and re-takes for timing and clarity. (The crew calls it "scriptovised".) If a particular gag makes the crew bust out, they'll keep the take of them cracking up in before cutting back to the show. | |

The Locked Tomb: Gideon the Ninth: Dulcinea has a habit of laughing at inappropriate moments, especially when talking to Gideon about how she (Dulcinea) would prefer to die. "Dulcinea" is actually an immortal Lyctor who has been dying for ten thousand years, and she's the one killing everyone in the book. So yes, she's laughing about how everyone is trying to find the killer and ignoring the poor girl with cancer. Harrow the Ninth: In Harrow's last Elseworld, she specifically notes that Jeannemary looks like she's trying not to laugh; Harrow doesn't understand why. Jeannemary is in fact the actual soul of the dead woman, who Harrow unconsciously summoned to fill a role in the alternate reality she built up. Harrow summoned a bunch of ghosts to act out her Coffee Shop AU Fic centered around her crush. It's no wonder Jeannemary can barely keep it together. Jeannemary's necromancer Isaac, on the other hand, is clearly trying to just flatly get through his lines as fast as possible. |

Homestar Runner has an in-universe example of this in "Videography." Strong Bad is trying to create an advertisement for his video editing service with a straight face, but when he starts listing occasions that would make good videos, and gets to "droopy drawers", accompanied by a picture of his younger brother's low-riding underwear, but cannot continue without chuckling. | |

20/20: Following the verdict in the Lorena Bobbitt case, Barbara Walters, Hugh Downs, and Ted Koppel all completely lost it after Ted's presumably unintentional pun of "It cuts both ways". It got so bad that they had to cut to a commercial. When it came back, they appeared to have calmed down, only for them to barely keep it together during the "goodnights" before losing it again just before it cut to the ending credits. | |

A meta-example for The Eye of Argon: It's a popular game at SF conventions for people to take turns reading from the infamously Narm-filled book out loud, complete with Purple Prose, Rouge Angles of Satin, and Delusions of Eloquence all pronounced exactly as written, to see who can last the longest before breaking down into laughter. It's considered quite an achievement to last more than a page. Variations of the game may be played with the works of Amanda McKittrick Ros or William Topaz Mc Gonnagall. | |
