I worked for a small marketing company in college and the completely humorless owner told me go through the storage room and only keep 2 of each catalog.

We had a few from a company called Reich Paper. I took one and brought it into the office.

"We have a couple catalogs from this company. What should I do with....the third Reich?"

He looked at me like I was a total idiot. "Um. Throw it away??"

I thought it was a good joke...

It was a good one πŸ˜…

Ages ago, when I was in the army, my best friend couldn't get promoted because his arms wouldn't straighten. It was a super dumb issue which prevented him to properly do a push up, and because of that he could t pass the PT test.

Finally months and months of doctors and paperwork, he receives a waiver and is getting promoted.

Our commander is giving a little speech about follow through and perseverance or something, and he says, "and because of his funny arms"

I immediately blurted out, "Yeah, they're really humourous."

In a crowd of 40 people, I think one person got it. I still think it was my best joke I ever cracked at a moments notice.

That one is so dad it just asked me if I made good time on the way here.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago (2 children)

Maybe I'm too stupid but I don't get the joke

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago

Lmao thanks for the explanation.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 8 months ago

His arms are funny like comedians funny, not weird funny.

When I was a teacher, I went from teaching English in a classroom with two windows to a computer lab with windowless walls on all four sides.

I only got to tell this joke like a dozen times.

I would tell the person I was talking to that I liked teaching technology, but I missed the windows in my old classroom because now I had the fewest windows in the school.

Then after a pause, I’d say: Actually, now that I think about it, I ended up with the most windows because I have thirty computers all running Windows 10. And that’s like 300 Windows if you do the math.

The audience is always too small. I'm 6'5" tall.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 8 months ago (2 children)

I'm about 6'6, hit me with your best one.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 8 months ago (2 children)

Might be a bit below the belt...

[–] [email protected] 13 points 8 months ago (1 children)

This is all going over my head.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago (1 children)

If you were a bit taller it might poke you in the eye.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago

What does every man's dream woman look like?

4 feet tall and a flat head.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago

Surely you know a good tall story or two!

I made a very crude one with 2 of my workmates today, but one choked on his coffee so I'm proud of it.

"Rougher than being fingered by a brickie" (Bricklayer)

for an audience of 2... possibly the wittiest joke ive thought of off the top of my head... for 2 people.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I guess it's funnier if you know what a "brickie" is

[–] [email protected] 9 points 8 months ago (2 children)
[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago

You must pretty rough to fuck bricks.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] -1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Dood. Bricklayer works with bricks all day which makes your hands (including fingers) rough.

It's a pretty good joke.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I dunno, I kinda like the idea of being manipulated by a pair of strong, capable hands.

Y'all are gonna flip when you learn about these things called "gloves"

[–] [email protected] -1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Fuck you must be fun at parties.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago

I am, I'm fucking hilarious.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 8 months ago (2 children)

I don’t condone this joke, it’s terrible and offensive. I wrote it for a friend’s standup routine.

My friends are upset at me because they think I’m sleeping with a 16 year old. But she’s not 16. She was 16 when she died. Now she’s 18.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago

IMO the joke isn't terribly offensive, just unfunny. There are incredibly good jokes that would be way more offensive when taken literally. Look up the SNL joke swaps if you're curious.

A professor once asked if we knew what a pronoun was, and I asked if it was a noun that lost its amateur status.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 8 months ago

A noun who doesn't work for free

[–] [email protected] 14 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I sometimes tell the doggo some jokes out of habit. If laughter is anything to go by, she's the funnier one though.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 8 months ago

If the tail wags that counts.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 8 months ago

WARNING: This one is pretty twisted and sick. NSFW.

What did the leper say to the prostitute?

Keep the tip.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 8 months ago

Not exactly a joke but when the Lemmy apps were coming online I really feel like someone should have taken the name β€œVotorhead”

[–] [email protected] 7 points 8 months ago

I was feeling pretty bad so I went to see the doctor.

He checks me out and says "Well, I have good news, and I have bad news."

"Well, give it to me straight, what's the bad news?"

"Bad news is, you have leprosy."

"Jesus Christ, doc! What's the good news?"

"Good news is, it's just the 24-hour kind."

"I got a DUI last night... for 'Driving While Illiterate!'"

Came up with that one at the grocery store the other day. My partner didn't even crack a smile. If you're familiar with Norm Macdonald, read it in his voice.

I walked around my nearby harbor freight and farted really loud. Everyone around me clapped

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago

Is that not what you're supposed to do there?
