it wasnt funny at the time, nor is it now
When I was a poor student living in a less than salubrious area of the Midlands I shared a flat with four friends. All of whom were manky, lazy, disgusting slobs - we were well matched. As was the actual flat - ie dodgy DIY, most of it hand built by the landlord - and repaired for decades by incompetent students.
One night I was having a nice relaxing soak in the bath (must have been my birthday) when the light bulb blew. "No problem" thinks I, because we used to keep the spare bulbs in the bathroom airing cupboard, I didn't even need to leave the bath. The bathroom itself had been biult as an extension, thus flat (leaking) roof, loads of condensation and walls and ceiling streaming with water.
So there I am, standing in 6 inches of water, new light bulb in one hand when I reach up to remove the old light bulb..... the old wet light bulb.

FZZZZZT!

I then did a "little elctric dance" which got the bath water nice and frothy, I shattered the good bulb and fell back into the water after blowing half the fuses.
"Feck me, that was lucky" thinks I. I then step out of the bath onto the darkened floor and damn near cut my toes off from the broken glass.
Oh how I didnt laugh!

hahaha
that is pure comedy gold! Almost as bad as using a hair drying in the bath tub.

Definitely YouTube material.
