uncontrollable laugh
Fit of giggles
An uncontrollable laugh is laughter that continues despite efforts to suppress it—the kind that seizes you at funerals, during serious meetings, or when someone tells you to stop: She got the uncontrollable laughs during the eulogy.
The phrase emphasizes involuntary response rather than mere amusement.
