The two most commonly associated emotions with goals are surely elation and despair - but what about the uncontrollable desire to laugh? Once in a while, a player or manager busts out a celebration so gut-bustingly funny it etches itself into Premier League folklore. Usually it's easiest for a neutral supporter to see humour in such situations. It can obviously be very difficult to laugh after witnessing your team go a goal down, while seeing your boys stick one in the back of the net usually distracts from the celebrations going on on the pitch or TV screen before you. Goal celebrations can be funny for a variety of reasons. Some showcase a surprising display of wit or self-deprication (hardly the most synonymous traits with the average professional footballer), while others are simply very silly. Sometimes it's impossible not to laugh at a celebration due to some sort of mishap - an acrobatics display gone wrong, a cheesy dance routine, or a cringeworthy t-shirt message. The aftermath of a goal can often be humorous enough to dominate the back pages the next day, overshadowing even the actions on the pitch. The very funniest will live long in the memory, just as easily as a particularly beloved goal or crucial result. Here are twenty of the most memorable funny goal celebrations since the Premier League's inception in 1992.
