I made up a joke when I was about 8 where the punchline was "an elephantom". I'll leave it up to you, Jeopardy-stylee, to work out the question.

I posted this on the other joke thread, but didn't mention that it was my own:

Q: Which Muppet went straight-edge?
A: Fugazi Bear

Now you know why I didn't mention that it was a DIY joke.

My favourite (own) joke:

A man wakes up in a hospital bed after being in a coma.

Doctor: Hi, I'm someone you've never met before.

Man: Thank Christ! I thought I'd lost my memory!

Ally C (Ally C), Thursday, 25 March 2004 20:01 (twenty years ago) link

Have I been in a coma?

I don't like the new-age religious twist that you've added.

RJG (RJG), Thursday, 25 March 2004 20:05 (twenty years ago) link

That joke is not as funny to read, really. Actually, it's not really funny at all. Maybe Ally's face is just funny when he tells it.

kirsten (kirsten), Thursday, 25 March 2004 20:09 (twenty years ago) link

No, it's shit. But somehow....great.

Ally C (Ally C), Thursday, 25 March 2004 22:11 (twenty years ago) link

My brother made this one up when he was only just old enough to speak but it still cracks me up:

Q: How do you know if a pig has done a poo in your house?

A: You can smell it. And you're treading in it.


One I made up when I was wee:

Q: what do you call a scottish monkey?

A: A McAckus

I prefer my brother's one really.

dog latin (dog latin), Thursday, 25 March 2004 23:32 (twenty years ago) link

RJG (RJG), Thursday, 25 March 2004 23:33 (twenty years ago) link

Man this thread rules. Ally's joke is awesome.

I'm pretty proud of this one but it is usually met with groans:

"I ate ten gyros and now I falafel!"

Get it?

roger adultery (roger adultery), Friday, 26 March 2004 02:30 (twenty years ago) link

My feher-in-law just sent me a great joke:

A bus carrying only ugly people is involved in a crash, and everyone on the bus dies. They go to Heaven. Because of the grief they have suffered, God decides to grant them one wish each, before they enter Paradise. They're all lined up, and God asks the first one what their wish is? The person answers, "I want to be beautiful," and so God snaps His fingers and it is done. The second one in line sees this and says "I want to be beautiful too." Another snap of His fingers and the wish is granted.

This goes on for a while, but when God is halfway down the line, the last person in line starts laughing. When there are only ten people left, this man is rolling on the floor, laughing his pants off. Finally, God gets to the end of the line and asks the laughing one what his wish will be?

The man eventually catches his breath, and says:

"Make 'em all ugly again"

VengaDan Perry (Dan Perry), Friday, 26 March 2004 04:02 (twenty years ago) link

When my son was about 6 or 7, he made up the following:

What do they eat for breakfast in Never Never Land?

Peter Pancakes.

And just this week -- he's now 9 years old -- he said: what's another word for "man-boobs"? His answer: Chesticles.

(Yeah, I know it doesn't really make logical sense, but fuck, if I'd been half as sophisticated when I was his age, by now I'd be a genius, or something.)

My brother made up this song, sung to the tune of 'We Three Kings' when he was about 10 or so.

WE THREE LEMMINGS OF ORIENT ARE
JUMPING OFF CLIFFS AND KILLING OURSELVES
DOWN WE GO
CLEAR THE WAY
INTO THE SEA BELOW
BUMPS OF WONDER BUMPS OF FRIGHT
DOWN WE GO AT THE SPEED OF LIGHT
HEADS ARE BLEEDING STILL WE'RE SPEEDING
INTO THE SEA BELOW

I still sing it at Christmas

Ha rhyming with "claw"
Who...I can't believe I'm telling you how "who" is pronounced. Rhymes with "goo" or "blue."

breaking that little dog's heart chakra (Abbott), Friday, 18 June 2010 15:56 (thirteen years ago) link

Do you guys know where focaccia bread got its name?

So one day, this kid from a little Italian village goes to school with his lunch sack.

When it's time for lunch, he opens the sack and pulls out some salami, some cheese and some olives.

The teacher looks down at him and says " Whatsamada?! You focaccia bread?!"

That reminds me of another story about that same kid. He was always getting into food-related mix-ups. One time he came home from the market with ingredients for his family's Christmas dinner. His mother says, "Are you crazy? Why'd you get 2 geese?! We can't afford this!" "I got an extra one like you asked, mama," says the kid. "You told me to get some onions, garlic, broccoli, and a spare-a goose!"

I was about to tell Lavator's joke at my stand-up night, but then I remembered that the Disney Haters Society had block-booked tickets, so...

No one could understand it  when I built a time machine, travelled back one hundred years, kidnapped Lord Baden Powell, and brought him back to the present day to fix the broken sound on my microwave.
