roll on the floor laughing, roll on the floor with laughter


Explanation:
... makes the audience roll on the floor laughing.

Ez nagyon gyakran használt szófordulat, talán a leggyakoribb.
(Hasonló a "roll on the floor with laughter".)

Angolul könnyek említése ritkább nevetés esetén, ezért nem fordítanám szó szerint.
