Да ведь это умора, Варенька, просто умора! Мы со смеху катались, когда он читал нам это. (Ф. Достоевский, Бедные люди) — What humour, Varenka - what purest humour! We rocked with laughter when he read it aloud to us.

'Sh-sh! Here Gretchen is dreaming of her Faust.' He went off into a peal of laughter as though he had said something very amusing.

Он брал в основу рассказа истинный эпизод, где главным действующим лицом является кто-нибудь из присутствующих или общих знакомых, но так сгущал краски и при этом говорил с таким серьёзным лицом и таким деловым тоном, что слушатели надрывались от смеха.

Матвей тут же придумал несколько сценок, показал, как это должно получиться, и все помирали со смеху. (С. Антонов, Дело было в Пенькове) — Matvei made up a few jokes on the spur of the moment and showed them how they should be presented, reducing everyone to fits of laughter.

Она приподнялась на цыпочках: - Ку-кареку-у-у!.. Все покатились со смеху. (А. Рекемчук, Мальчики) — She stood up on tiptoe and went: 'Cock-a-doodle-do!' Everyone clutched their sides.
