    I think the most commonly used phrase would be “laughing fit” (or “fit of laughter”), where “fit” in this usage means “in a condition of,” " or “a state of” something (laughter in this case, but other examples might include coughing or other mostly involuntary conditions).

    EDIT: it is interesting to me that the word used in your language is “crisis,” as in English that implies something along the lines of an emergency situation requiring immediate attention.

      You seem to be someone who appreciates linguistics, so I’ll share the word Hungarians use to describe a (laughing) fit - (röhögő)görcs, which literally translates to cramp.
