I dunno...here's my choice:

A duck walks into a pharmacy and asks for a tube of ChapStick.

The clerk asks..."will that be cash, check or charge?"

To which the duck replies,

"Just put it on my bill."

Jokes mentioning ducks were seen as funnier than other jokes.

Groucho didn't need a study to figure this out.

actually the funniest joke, according to Monty Python, was written by a man some time ago ... during WWII ... MI6 obtained the joke, translated it into German, and gave one word to each soldier who would call out the words in sequence ... one soldier received two words and was hospitalized for 6 weeks ... the joke worked in the field of combat, with Nazis coming out of their foxholes and keeling over ...

I kinda like the "Woof" joke ...

This pirate walks into a bar with a steering wheel attached to his crotch. The bartender looks at him, and asks him why he has a steering wheel attached to his crotch. The pirate responds to the bartender, "Arrrr, it's drivin' me nuts".

How 'bout another hunting joke:

Two Aggies are out hunting in the woods. After a while, they realize that they're lost. The first Aggie says to the second one, "I've heard that shooting two shots into the air is a universal call for help". The second Aggie shoots twice into the air. They continue looking for a way out and after an hour are still lost. The second Aggie shoots twice again. Then, after several hours pass, they wind up in the exact same spot where they first realized they were lost. Desperate, the first Aggie says to the other, "we're in trouble, shoot two more times". The second Aggie replies, "Can't, I'm out of arrows!". Bwahahaha...

What does a Texas tornado and a Tennesse divorce have in common?

Somebody's gonna loose a trailer.

I read the whole article and didn't laugh once. The joke about the Harvard grad and the Texas did bring half a smile to my face though.

Permit me to link in this laugh out loud FR thread...

Caption This! Unshaven women protest Bush

Not all of the jokes "hit" and different people will laugh at different things but when was the last time a Caption This thread hit 200 posts in a day?

Guy is walking up a stairwell in a construction site with the construction supervisor. At every landing he leans out a window and yells "Green side up". After they reach about the 5th floor the first guy can't resist and asks the supervisor why yell "Green side up". The supervisor replies "I got a couple of aggies out there laying sod."

I read about this last year, and it was the same joke!!

After you hear a joke so many times it gets old. There's gotta better humor than that.

I'm sure it has merit considering they got their "numbers" from an internet poll.

I can't wait to see what the poll would show as funny next year.

In the future to be on the safe side we should support Term Limits on these things.

(end joke)

The world's funniest joke is a punchline without a setup, occasionally seen in movies having the persepective come in in the middle (so there's theoretically a setup but you never hear it):
rectum, almost killed him.

David Letterman says that everything is funnier in Spanish.

Here's what I got from Babblefish:

¿Si el Nunstruck es git y Slotermeyer? ¡Sí! Beiherhund o el gersput de Flipperwaldt
