VIDEO – Tickle Me Anderson Cooper’s on-air uncontrollable giggle fit

Anderson Cooper tried to keep a straight face throughout his report on Dyngus Day on Anderson 360, but it was too much for him. He simply had to release into an uncontrollable fit of giggles that rival the Giggle Master himself: Elmo.

After a voiceover report explained a particular ritual of the strange holiday, Anderson couldn’t keep it together.

Here’s what set him over the edge:

“The quirky little ritual includes boys sprinkling girls that they fancy with water, and the girls striking back with a tap from a pussy willow branch.”

After that his inner-13-year-old girl came out, and he could barely pause for air except to say “this is so stupid!”

Try and see if you can watch this and not have your own giggle attack:

When are they gonna come out with a Tickle Me Anderson doll? Please, please, please 2012.
