We’ve all been in that situation where you start laughing at something, and then it’s just impossible to stop! But as long as it’s not an inappropriate time or place – there’s nothing like a good burst of laughter to help boost the soul.

One journalist got his daily dose of laughter right in the middle of an interview with a farmer. Although it might not seem like a very “appropriate” time to break into a giggle fit, he had a very good reason.

It’s a hilarious clip that’s gone viral.

Rob Mulder traveled with the Dutch television show, Expeditie Grunnen, to an animal expo in the Netherlands. According to Daily Mail, the program focuses on “wacky subjects” from around the country.

During the segment, it was Mulder’s job to interview a chicken farmer named Frederik van Wijk. Only the interview didn’t go too far. In fact, he didn’t even get passed talking about the farmer’s name before both of them started cracking up.

They couldn’t believe their ears.

After Farmer Frederik starts laughing in the clip is when the real hilarity ensues. That’s because he has the bestlaughever (for a chicken farmer anyways). Amazingly, the guy actually sounds like a chicken himself!

Mulder cracks up even harder hearing what comes out of the farmer’s mouth.

Sure, people in his field are typically supposed to hold it together while the camera’s rolling, but can you really blame the guy? Oh, the irony – a chicken farmer that laughs like a chicken. Bet he didn’t see that one was coming!

Neither of them is able to stop.

We don’t know exactly what they say to each other in the video. Yet, it seems as if the more Mulder laughs, the more the farmer laughs, which makes Mulder laugh more. They’re like two schoolboys that should probably be separated.

There’s even something to compare his laugh to.

What adds to it all is that there are chickens squawking in the background during the clip – and yes, they sound like Farmer Frederik (or is it the other way around?).

One viewer commented:

“Wait for few years, he’ll be fully transformed into a chicken.”

This isn’t the only funny clip of someone not being able to control their laughter.

There are a number of videos online featuring news anchors laughing while delivering the news. One woman laughed herself into tears talking about “Goat Man,” a man that had prosthetic legs made so he could live with goats.

Then there’s Robert Bradfield, who burst into laughter over the name of a pig (Chris P. Bacon). Wait, there seems to be a farm animal theme here…

Farmer Frederik has a laugh that’s been heard around the world.

The video is so funny it’s not surprising that it went viral, gathering millions of views online. People have left comments on YouTube like:

“Truely this is one of the greatest clips on the whole net, you don’t even have to understand what is being said but just appreciate two people having a great laugh together, absolute gold 👌👌👌”
