Last week Guardian Australia staff shared the things on the internet that made them laugh hardest in the past 12 months. We asked you to reciprocate by sharing your online nuggets and, judging by what you came back with, you jumped at the chance to chuckle at Covid, the climate crisis and limbless croissants.
1. If retail workers said what they really think
Scott Seiss for anyone in customer service past or present. – Bobgal

The fellowship of the walk. – Subcutaneousphat

3. Oh deer
The 28 June New South Wales Covid press conference about nude sunbathers frightened by deer and all translated into Australian sign language. Then the presser was interrupted by some clown calling himself “The Prime Creator of this Earth” trying to serve a summons on the police commissioner ... Best. Birthday. Present. Ever. – NucMed
4. The brains behind bird names
Are ornithologists OK? – ejjnstn
5. Honest Government Ads
All the satirical videos from the Juice Media on YouTube. Every one is comedy gold but perhaps not safe for work – at least without headphones. – finnfather
6. Scotty from Marketing
The hilarious parody Twitter account Scott Morrison PM of Australia (parody) – Siameez
Woops. Just realised I’ve had my out of office on since December 2019.

7. ‘I got vaccinated … I can tell it’s working already’
This has been one of the funniest videos I have watched repeatedly this year. – Ephabee

7. Scary Snowman strikes again
The funniest thing has got to be the annual outing for the Scary Snowman. While this year’s might not be considered the best, it’s still pretty funny, especially the little jig carried out by many of the victims. – nadreck
8. An unenthused Scottish parliament tour guide
One of my 2021 favourites has been Eleanor Morton’s “Craig the Scottish tour guide” – including this one which has been directly responsible for my overuse of the verb “boke”. – Aironicus
9. Don’t try this at home
I only ask, can you chug a can of sparkling water and not burp? – mparker
10. The Kraków croissant ‘creature’
The story and photo of the croissant wedged in a small tree outside a Kraków apartment cracked me up. A woman thought it was an iguana waiting to pounce. Apparently she waited two days before calling for help. – Katrianah
