It comes out of nowhere, unexpectedly and in the worst case scenario, it occurs at a time when you know you shouldn’t be doing it. No, we’re not talking about your insatiable need to rub one out every time you see Kate Upton, (although we don’t blame you) we’re talking about getting the case of the giggles. The uncontrollable giggles is a lot like shaking a soda. The bubbles build up and inevitably,  it bursts out everywhere and the more you suppress it, the more violent it becomes.

It happens to the best of us at the worst possible times; during a meeting, sex or (gasp) a funeral, and as you can see in these video clips, news reporters are no exception to the rule.
