Q: What did the rock band say to the music critic who accused them of being a Doors ripoff?
A: "That's a bassless allegation!"

(I went through a period of a week or so where I thought jokes about the Doors not having a bassist were hilarious. Don't ask.)

George Galloway is visiting his pal Saddam Hussein in Iraq. It's been a while so they're catching up on what's been going on with each other. Saddam is kind of keen to know about public opinion of him in the UK right now. "Oh," says George, "it's... not bad. Actually, you have a pretty high profile celebrity fan, the singer out of the Kaiser Chiefs."

"No way!" Saddam says, "I love that band."... Read More

"Yeah, he thinks you're misunderstood and he wants the Kaiser Chiefs to come and play a concert at your palace."

"Seriously? That's awesome, I'm going to start clearing one of the bigger rooms now."

"Mate, I was only joking. I daresay he probably hates you," George says, laughing.

"Aw... you had me going there you bastard!"

"Sir," says George, rising to shake Saddam's hand, "I salute your indie fatty gullibility."

I don't get this one:

Q: What's Sid Vicious's real name?
A: John.

Kevin John Bozelka, Thursday, 18 June 2009 12:51 (seventeen years ago)

The joke is that his real name is John Vicious instead of Sid + a regular surname.

Yes, he was christened Simon John Ritchie but he was occasionally known as John too, hence the Four Johns (along with Lydon, Gray, Wardle)

Then in walked Barbara Castle with the Lady Eleanor (Tom D.), Thursday, 18 June 2009 14:01 (seventeen years ago)

Either way, not funny, in fact, not even a joke!
