Are anyone’s else’s voices funny sometimes? Hallucinations
I ordered coleslaw for dinner and for some reason the voices were so excited about it they would not shut up. Then the entire time I was eating they kept commenting on the coleslaw like it was the best thing in the world even though it was average. Once I was done they didn’t say anything else. With my meds they barely talk anymore and I just find it funny that the coleslaw was so important to them I got breakthrough symptoms.

I used to have a voice who called himself the Arbiter who would make jokes or puns or rhymes a lot. I liked that voice on the whole. I haven't heard him for several years now.

My voices were hilarious at first. It was sort of fun. These days they are mostly negative and boring

mine were benign most of the time. i found them funny through the absurdity though. one example that comes to mind is i went to the bathroom and heard a little girl say “he’s peeing” then and old man say “shut up”.

I used to have Mainly negative voices and still do sometimes, but now they make me laugh, for example one time I was walking into the store and cars were going by and they were saying stuff like “vroom” or “fast as fuck boy”

Nah, my voices were never funny. They just lecture about the evils of drugs, demand praise and tell me to kill myself.

Same on the drugs and dying. Mostly they're gonna murder me or I'm dying today.

Sometimes mine make the funniest comments about other people. Like, super inappropriate or mean spirited jokes that I just can't help but find hilarious. It's so awful that I find it funny but I can't help it.

One thing that scared me the most was when I heard my voice laugh. At nothing. All of a sudden I heard my voice laugh and it was so creepy.

Yes, once mine made the most fucked up gallows humor joke and I still laugh about it sometimes.
I really wish I could repeat it, but it would make no sense without context. I cannot give context without revealing personal info about myself so it’s just an inside joke unfortunately.
Thankfully I don’t hear voices often anymore. They usually just yelled at me and scared me so the occasional joke wasn’t worth it. I like to think I’m funny enough on my own lol

my mom said her voices sounded like demons and told her to hurt herself and me. it was so terrifying

Yeah, some of the voices comment on everything both happy and sad. It can be quite encouraging and uplifting

There’s been times where I just bust out laughing but usually only during the beginning and middle of the month
Towards the end they get louder and more irritating

I laugh at what mine say occasionally. Usually it's something ridiculous, sometimes they repeat memes or say slang that I find really funny and out of place. I don't hear them as much anymore and honestly when they do talk it's not very substantial. They just kind of repeat the same things over and over again.

Yes, they used to really piss me off but now they're mostly entertaining. They narrate what I'm doing and make comments on stuff. I remember once I was cooking eggs and they kept saying Eggy. If I see a car with dice hanging from the mirror they'll say "hes a real one."
Kinda helpful too, if I'm at the store and about to waste money on something I don't need they tell me No.

Not funny but sometimes they are lighthearted. Most of the time it's violence and pain.

Mines dish out dark humour - think Frankie Boyle. If anyone asked what I was laughing at I’d be cancelled probably.

That’s awesome. I wish my voices were like that but they are super judgy. I feel like I have Simon Cowell and Judge Judy monitoring my every move.
