Donny knows how to keep us laughing! On July 22, he shared a throwback pic of his family on Instagram and in the caption, he hilariously theorized what each one of his siblings may have been thinking at the time.
“Marie: Hey brother, what do you say you and I start our own duo together? We can call it ‘The Marie and Donny Show.’ (That’s probably why my back was turned,” the A-lister wrote with two laughing emojis. “Wayne: If you guys only knew how many hilarious jokes I’ll be telling on stage for the rest of my life.” We can’t get enough of this guy!

Donny revealed he got himself into a bit of a mess while borrowing a neighbor’s skid-steer loader in early July. Although the star “promised that [he’d] take good care of” the massive tool, he had a mishap when it rained the night he began his project.
“There was mud everywhere. I figured I could put dry dirt on top of the mud and gravel under the tracks to continue working, but the bobcat just kept sinking lower and lower,” he explained via Instagram alongside a before and after photo of the bobcat in the dirt. “It was so full of mud, I could barely get out of it! I called Jerry up and told him, ‘I think you better come over.'”
Fortunately, Donny’s neighbor “brought his team over” and saved the day. “I felt terrible for covering his pristinely new #bobcat in mud, so I promised him I would clean it up,” Donny continued. “I hired a luxury car detailer to come and clean every inch of the bobcat. He did such a fantastic job, you could eat off of it! He even put air fresheners in there.”
The make matters even funnier, the singer hilariously said he “drove the newly-cleaned bobcat” over to neighbor’s house the next day and “left it in his driveway with balloons tied to it saying ‘I’m sorry.'” After hearing his mistake became the “running joke of the contractors in Utah,” he quipped, “I guess I better stay in show business and leave construction to the professionals.”

When contestants on an episode of Jeopardy! were asked to answer, “Tori Spelling’s unicorn and Donny Osmond’s peacock belted out tunes on this show — that line shouldn’t make any sense, but it’s true,” Donny marveled at the awesome recognition.
“‘What is The Masked Singer?’” the “Go Away Little Girl” singer captioned a snapshot he took of the beloved game show on his TV screen. “I can finally say I am a clue on @Jeopardy. I’ll consider this my greatest accomplishment for this month of quarantine.”
We couldn’t be more grateful for Donny’s epic dad jokes amid the worldwidecoronavirus pandemic!

While gearing up for the 2020 Super Bowl on February 2, Donny revealed he will be cheering on the Chiefs. Before dishing his bets on the upcoming event, the comedic hunk explained why he’s rooting for the Kansas City team as opposed to the San Francisco 49ers.
“@49ers or @chiefs? I’ve been facing an interesting predicament leading up to this year’s #SuperBowl, but I’ve finally made up my mind…” he wrote on Instagram on January 31. “I’m a big #49ers fan and have been ever since they asked me to sing the National Anthem at what used to be Candlestick Park. ”
However, Donny also revealed the head coach of the Chiefs, Andy Reid, and his wife, Tammy Reid, “are good friends” of his. “I’ve been chatting with Andy over text and wishing him well in the big game,” he added.
After explaining to his fans why he felt torn, Donny finally had a verdict. “Even if Andy and Tammy weren’t reason enough to sway my allegiance (which they are), my taste buds really sealed the deal,” he hilariously confessed. “Kansas City holds a special place in my heart for its world-class B-B-Q. I had the best I’ve ever tasted at a restaurant called Q39. Oh my goodness… you have to try their burnt end appetizer!” LOL!

In honor of his birthday, Donny couldn’t help but joke about his age! On Monday, December 9, the “Crazy Horses” crooner shared a sentimental thank you to all his fans, family and friends for making his 62nd birthday so special.
“Thank you for all of the birthday wishes you’ve sent my way today,” he wrote alongside a rare photo of his entire family, including his big brood of kids and grandkids. However, Donny didn’t want to admit he turned the big 6-2 as he joked about celebrating his 29th birthday in the caption.
“As I turn 29 (again 😏), I’m grateful for those of you who have been following my career since the beginning, as well as those of you who are just now discovering who I am,” he adorably quipped. Throughout the rest of the message, the proud family man gushed over spending time with his five sons and lost list of grandchildren.
“I almost forgot how nice it is to wrap up the year with my loved ones around me,” he wrote. “It’s given me time to reflect on how important family and friends really are.”
Donny also offered his sincerest gratitude for those who stuck by his side throughout all the years. “Thank you for all of your kind words and birthday wishes on my social media,” he continued, before concluding, “And yes… I sent myself one of my @amgreetings singing birthday cards. 😂” LOL!
We hope Donny had the best birthday ever!

On November 5, Donny shared photos on social media from a meet and greet with fans at his Las Vegas Residency show just a few days prior. The “Love Me for a Reason” crooner explained that when he was greeted by a longtime fan, he was shocked to see the sweet memento she brought along to show him.
“She asked, ‘Do you recognize this sweater I’m wearing?’ I said, ‘No,'” Donny wrote in the Instagram caption. “She then told me that it was the very same sweater that I wore for the cover of my [2005] autobiography, Life Is Just What You Make It. She took the orange sweater out of her shadowbox to wear to the show that night and showed me printed photos taken the day she bought the sweater for charity.” Aww!
Although Donny was completely taken aback by the fan’s sweet gesture, he couldn’t help but sneak in a hilarious joke at the end of his caption. “I told her I wanted it back. JK,” he adorably teased alongside a winking-eye emoji. LOL!

Donny shared a group pic from him and sister Marie’s Halloween-themed concert for their Las Vegas residency at the Flamingo Hotel and Resort. “It was a wild show last night for Halloween,” the “One Bad Apple” crooner wrote on Instagram following their performance on October 31.
While explaining that some of their backup dancers dressed up as The Headless Horseman, Marilyn Monroe, The Blues Brothers, Dracula, Darth Vader and “so many more characters,” the beloved star joked that his stage partner had the most terrifying costume of them all.
“But the scariest costume of all was the person who dressed up like Marie Osmond,” he hilariously teased. “Oh wait … that was Marie.” LOL!

Long flight, no bag and mistake in my hotel reservation,” the “Close Every Door” crooner wrote alongside a pic of him lying on a park bench on October 23. “This is turning out to be a trip I’ll never forget!

After surprising his little sister, Marie, on the set of The Talk in honor of her 60th birthday, Donny recalled the time when his brothers performed on the Andy Williams Show with iconic Mary Poppins actress Julie Andrews.
“It was wonderful to see my brothers Alan, Wayne, Merrill and Jay on @thetalk today as we all celebrated Marie’s 60th birthday,” the singer explained in an Instagram post. “I just wish Virl, Tom and Jim could have been there. Next time. 😉 Before I walked out and surprised them, I was hiding in a room so nobody would see me.”
Donny explained that while he was waiting, he “decided to look at some YouTube videos of my bro’s when they first started in the business” and discovered the video of their appearance on the former talk show in 1964.
“I must have been about 4 or 5 years old when they did this,” he continued. “I recall my brothers working tirelessly on their British accents and rehearsing these lines over and over again for their appearance with #JulieAndrews on the #AndyWilliams Show. I laugh every time I hear Merrill try to say ‘indubitably,’ but it was so cute. 😆”
LOL!

Or a spider? 😳😅 #NationalPuppyDay #PuppyLove.”

Donny put a funny little twist on his original song title “Soldier of Love” after injuring his shoulder in an accident. “Writing music five days after shoulder surgery is a little harder than I thought it would be,” he wrote. “Maybe I should call this song ‘Shoulder of Love.’ 😆 Do you have any clever titles for the #NewAlbum? #RecoveryMode #NewMusicAlert.” Ha!

LOL During Marie’s segment of the show, lots of beads came off of her dress. It’s pretty dangerous to dance when there are beads on the floor like that, so I had to do something before the dancers and I did a big dance number. Little sisters… always making a mess. 🙄😜 #nationaldanceday #dmsummertour #donnyandmarie.”
