Funniest moment witnessed of a manic onstage?

Yeah, this is probably the funniest Manics based thing I've been party to. That or Ash's "cheer" when they arrived at the Newbury Comics signing, and then explaining the whole thing to Nicky.

That whole trip was incredbily funny actually.

[bellabop]

In Finland 08, James began strumming his guitar, then started singing on Pennyroyal Tea... then realized it was the wrong verse xD so he looks over at nick, who's trying his best not to laugh, and james goes "I did that one wrong, didn't I?" and nicky chokes out a "yes". James smirks and says "I should start over, shouldn't I?" and nicky doubles over laughing at him.

That was very funny!

'99 T in the Park performance had some classics. My favourite though was when a very pissed Nicky just gave up during Tolerate and sat down on his arse, and for some reason Sean also stopped playing, which caused James to stop and turn round to see what the hell was going on. For a moment it was the Nick Naysmith solo show up there

I thought it was hilarious how at Brixton 2007 James took Nicky on his shoulders - it was like they were defying gravity or something (surely it should be Nicky taking James on his shoulders instead?). And Nicky looked quite scared too...

Ha! Ha! Yeah, that was indeed brilliant!

Other funny moments in my experience have mainly come in the pub before or round someones house afterwards. I'm not sure I've ever laughed as much as Ash's interpretion of 'Wayne's Guide to Poultry'

Haa.. we literally laughed ourselves to sleep

Just thought of one - Sean signing the sleeve of someone's shirt after a gig, looking at it after he'd finished and, completely deadpan, looking her in the eye and saying 'sleeve notes.'

Geddit?

Haha!!!

I dont think there are photos but it did happen, i have seen seans pants,

The best ever thing i've heard has to be the 1998 rant from Nicky about bands who moan about the rules being hard..."It's because you're RUBBISH! WRITE SOME TUNES YOU MORONS!" He is a true comedy genius.
