I'm personally rather fond of the Pakistani Dalek sketch.
A lot that this guy knows.The world's funniest joke is yachting off of Martha's Vineyard as I type.
still waiting to ROTFLMAO
"So, you thing shooting people is funny? Shooting a FRIEND is funny? How could shooting a seriously hurt, defenseless friend of yours possibly be funny to you"
Comedian: "It's a joke."
Lib: "I just dont think guns are funny and nobody should own one."
No jokes compares to anyone stumbling and falling down imo.
Everyone knows the funniest joke in the world was written by Ernest Scribbler, RIP.
The Goons were a major influence on the young lads who would later become Monty Python's Flying Circus.
"Wenn ist das Nunstrück git und Slotermeyer? Ja! Beiherhund das Oder die Flipperwaldt gersput!".
Voice Over:
This man is Ernest Scribbler... writer of jokes. In a few moments, he will have written the funniest joke in the world... and, as a consequence, he will die... laughing.
Ernest stops writing, pauses to look at what he has written... a smile slowly spreads across his face, turning very, very slowly to uncontrolled hysterical laughter... he staggers to his feet and reels across room helpless with mounting mirth and eventually collapses and dies on the floor.
Voice Over:
It was obvious that this joke was lethal...
no one could read it and live...
Ernest's mother enters. She sees him dead, she gives a little cry of horror and bends over his body, weeping. Brokenly she notices the piece of paper in his hand and picks it up and reads it between her sobs. Immediately she breaks out into hysterical laughter, leaps three feet into the air, and falls down dead without more ado. Cut to news type shot of commentator standing in front of the house.
Commentator:
This morning, shortly after eleven o'clock, comedy struck this little house in Dibley Road. Sudden... violent... comedy.
Police have sealed off the area, and Scotland Yard's crack inspector is with me now.
Inspector:
I shall enter the house and attempt to remove the joke.
About now an upstairs window in the house is fiung open and a doctor, rears his head out, hysterical with laughter, and dies hanging over the window sill.
People might be surprised how many writings, jokes, and slogans originated on FR. The "I'm a bad American" essay and "Sore Loserman", to name two. There are others as well.
It was the best. I almost remember the name of the orchestra that played during the breaks.
Peter Sellers, Spike Milligan, and Harry Seacombe. (One of Seacombe's identities was Sir Cedric Sea-Goon). I think Milligan played the deranged, apparently retarded character named Eccles, among a dozen or so others.
RIP, gents. You changed the world for the weirder, and better.
Hey! He was probably working under a government funded grant!
At least Spike had an Irish-sounding surname.
A man walks into the police station and says, "officer I want to report a crime. On Monday, three women were at the Broad Street subway station, one of them proceeded to rape me again and again while the others stole all my belongings."
"Tuesday, they did it again."
"I could not find them on Wednesday or today."
Marking, for obvious reasons...

So, these three guys walk into a bar.
"Ow!"
"Ow!"
"Ow!"
You'd think the third one would have noticed.
