Hi all,
Seems I'm on a roll with posting stuff!! Does anyone else find jokes like - What do you get if you cross a kangaroo with a sheep? - completely unfunny and pointless? I find slap stick or people getting frights or bodily functions hilarious but jokes that have punch lines lead me to - Yeah I get it but it's not funny. My Mum takes the pi** when she laughs at these kinds of jokes and I'm straight faced because she thinks I don't get it when in actual fact I do. It's simply not funny to me. Yet I can watch continual youtube videos of POOTERS and be in tears with laughter....
Thoughts?
H :-)
CB that's also inappropriate......
If you saw someone in the street slip on a banana skin and fall down harmlessly
I'd hide a giggle as I find near misses make me laugh. It's because it looks funny but I do care if people are hurt and slap stick is taken too far....
If you saw someone in the street slip on a banana skin and fall down harmlessly, what do you think your reaction would be.
This is so inappropriate but I have been chuckling at it all day today. Thank you, hahahahhahah!
It's a standing joke with my mates that I don't get jokes. (Oh the irony). Like you I can often get the punch line, but I've no idea why it's considered funny.
Can't abide slap stick though. It irritates me.
Goodness, that makes me sound rather humourless, doesn't it? I do enjoy political and observational humour. I like humour embedded within a narrative structure often making a serious point, which is diffused by humour.

hahahahaha you get it ;)
Mwaaaaa haaaa haaaaaaa

It's the Police! Your Husband died of a heart attack!
Dr
Who's there
Knock, knock
Hahaha. OK if you like that stuff then there is a show called Impractical Jokers. It is so good and right up this kind of humour.
Reminds me of a band my Dad used to listen to who I now listen to. They crack me up every time but I have specific songs I like - Spike Jones and His City Slickers.
I have a Weird Al Yankovic album. Mandatory Fun. Not all tracks are funny, in my eyes, but the ones that are side-split me.
My favourite sitcoms are Father Ted and Frasier. My top two ever.
--I love Christmas cracker jokes.
--I love funny things that happen by accident e.g. we were watching TV and an advert for The Apprentice came on. Alan Sugar was saying:
'In the Apprentice, you don't get furloughed, you get f--'
My husband turned the TV off just then and it sounded like Alan Sugar was about to say, 'In the Apprentice, you don't get furloughed, you get fvcked'
--I don't like those long, long jokes which set up a punchline which is completely contrived.
It's like the jokes on penguin bars are so disappointing nowadays! Who writes this rubbish!
I love Belfast Girls - This Gay Bloke as Belfast women cursing and b***hing. In fact, I LMAO at confrontational women. They're Nineteen to the Penny, here.
Also Foil, Arms and Hog. Dublin Blokes doing sketches about Modern scenarios.
Mrs Brown, however, is so twenty years ago. It was originally on Stage in Ireland.
Also, Give my Head Peace is past its use by date. Saw it on stage, in 2017 and 2018. But you can see the jokes a mile off.
