Domanda in primo piano
- Inglese (Stati Uniti)
Un po' strano
A little unnatural.
As a non-native speaker, you would be understood, but native speakers do not really use these phrases like this. I do have a friend who uses "laughing on the inside," but with the opposite meaning. He says it sarcastically to indicate that he doesn't think something is funny. For example, No, that joke is really funny, I'm laughing on the inside. Because he is not laughing and he doesn't think it is funny and he is being sarcastic (and funny). Does that make sense?
You could also say I could hardly keep from laughing! to indicate that you thought it was really funny but didn't laugh outwardly. That would be natural.
You're welcome :)

We would probably say
When I saw his terrible wig, I wanted to laugh. (But didn't.)
