my friend is annoying the hell out of me and i know it has to be some kind of medical condition. there's one called pseudobulbar affect which seems close. see if you can come up with any other suggestions.
1.will be rolling on the floor (literally, rolling on the floor) slapping his fist on the ground over a look that arthur gave doug on king of queens. not even something verbalized.
2.can't complete (usually can't even make it through the first 2 words) his own joke with out breaking out into a fit of hysterical laughter....and if i manage to make it through the broken up joke, it's usually stupid (like a porn joke that everyone's heard 100 times).
3.can't tell me something funny he's seen (like a sign that had funny words on it) with out breaking out into a fit of hysterical laughter.
4.can't stop hysterical laughter. even when told to be quiet.
5.makes overly comical gestures when something is said (tv or another person)
there's more, but i only have so many characters.

IT ISN'T NORMAL.
it happens during serious meetings, in very serious situations, something will catch his eye or he will make an inappropriate joke (or try to) and laugh his head off for several minutes while the other person is just staring at him.
it isn't just me. i know i need to lighten up some, i admit that. but his behavior for someone of almost 50, is abnormal.
