gutbuster

Side-splitting comedy bit

A gutbuster is something that strains the gut—either from laughter or exertion.

Most often it's a joke or moment so funny it makes your stomach hurt: That comedian's set was full of gutbusters.

It can also mean an extremely demanding physical effort, especially one targeting the abdominal muscles: Those crunches were a real gutbuster.
