香港常常有些電影在廣告上保證“全場笑聲不絕”。這樣的電影，我國古人會說“真堪絕倒”，英國人會說 have people rolling in the aisles。
按aisle是戲院裏的通道。幽默電影會教觀眾笑得東倒西歪，坐在通道旁邊的，恐怕更會笑得“倒在通道上翻滾”。所以，have people rolling in the aisles 就是“哄堂”、“教觀眾或聽眾絕倒”的意思，例如: Our play was a great success.We had them rolling in the aisles.
(我們這出戲劇十分成功，使觀眾笑得東歪西倒。)
又中國人笑起來，往往會“笑痛肚皮”；英國人呢，則會 in stitches (笑痛脅部): stitch 是“脅部刺痛”的意思。例如:Tom had us in stitches with his jokes(湯姆的笑話我們笑痛了肚皮)。
