The outtakes of silliness when two paramedics can't stop laughing as they try and explain their jobs has become a social media hit.

Dave Tamarro and Joe Cartwright are seen uncontrollable giggling in outtakes of a serious video intended for International Paramedics Day on July 8.

The pair, from East of England Ambulance Service, have become a viral sensation after the clips were posted on the group's Facebook Page.

"We've lost count of the number of takes it took, but it certainly made for a lot of good outtakes," they wrote on the post.

More than 45,000 people have watched the video showing Dave and Joe sniggering as they try to express serious sentiments about being a paramedic.

In one moment, Joe (a LOM, which is short for Leading Operational Manager) says "I can't do it Dave," while laughing hysterically in yet another failed try.

"Through all the challenges and heartbreak there's always laughter to help you get through these days," Dave wrote on Facebook, saying he was glad to have made so many people smile.

Commenting on Facebook, Nicky Jenner said: "You made my day!!! So funny. Keep laughing guys, this world needs more people like you both!"

Nicky New added: "Omg that is brilliant cheered me up after a hard day at work! Thanks guys🤣🤣xxx"
