So is the new avatar a girl or a guy?
Oooh, someone's getting petty!

And you've quoted the wrong person, so congratulations on that part too.
I'm not sure!
Maybe you should ask her.

Any Ideas on what I could cut out?
Karl Marx walks into a bar and after seeing a beautiful rich woman he decides to go up to her and says,"Hey, are you a bourgeoisie, 'cause I'm sensing an uprising in my lower class".
I get it now! Thanks Percutio, I guess the "drunk talk" screwed it up for me.

As for the joke, I believe it is good as a one liner, pretty much like Percutio put it. It is funny once you get it! It made me chuckle.

Problem solved, I trust.
Wanna move on? What did you think of the joke?

I refuse to read the joke due to the two minute bump. Chances are it isn't worth it if you felt the need to bump it so fast.

I just feel like an idiot when I have to write "Edit" 13 times.

That wasn't very funny, but I don't know much about communism so maybe that's why.

Notice in other jokes involving people who are overly intoxicated...
Despite being "drunk", for the purpose of a fluent joke, they still talk like a sober person.
So, possibly lose the sh's where there should just be an s (e.g. in "shenshing"), or where they just shouldn't be either an s or sh (e.g. the "you'sh").

Also:

Anyway, pretty long setup for not much payoff. This would work better as a one-liner.
This.

For example:
'One night, Karl Marx went out drinking. At the bar, Marx noticed a hot girl. He downed a few drinks to gain some courage, walked up to the girl and said, "Hey. Are you a bourgeoisie? Cause I'm sensing an uprising in my lower class".'

Especially that "burshwaushie". I had to think about what you actually meant by that before I finally realised. Doesn't make for a great joke.
And please, correct me if I translated from Drunk-to-English wrong, but hopefully you still see what I'm getting at here...

Personally? That punchline might need some work. It made me go "heh", but no "rofl" or anything of that sort.
But still, nice attempt. ^_^

EDIT: Yes, Ninja'd it seems.
By more than one person too.

Hmm, you may need to shorten it. Also, you may want to dumb it down so you don't make some people feel stupid when they read it.
What about adding some context before hand?
I think it does need to be shortened, but not dumbed down. If people don't get it it's their own damn fault, or yours if you don't tell it properly. :p

I just wrote this a few minutes ago, what do you think:

A joke I wrote:
Karl Marx got dumped by his girlfriend and he was feeling a bit depressed, so he went to his friend Mao to talk to him about it. After being told about it Mao said ?Sorry man what a bummer, hey I know, we should go to a bar and get hammer?d, you?ll forget all about it in the morning?. So they went to a bar. When they got there, Karl noticed an attractive woman in an expensive fur coat sitting across the room, but he was too nervous to say anything about it. He mentioned it to Mao, he told him to buy her a drink. Karl was too nervous though. A few drinks later however he felt confident and he decided he would go speak to her. She was a pretty looking lady wearing a nice expensive looking coat. Karl went up to her and said, ?Hey, are you?sh a burshwaushie, ?caush I?m shenshing an uprising in my lower clash?.

Edit: burshwaushie = bourgeoisie
Sorry but I don't speak retard.

I've got my own!

So two Soviet Union members are standing in a long line waiting for food. After a few hours pass, the first shakes his head and yells "I've had enough of this waiting! I'm going to go kill Stalin and fix all of this!" before running off.

A few days later, the second Communist sees the first Communist again and asks him how things went down. "How did killing Stalin go?", the second asks. The first shakes his head.

"The line was five times as long".

Like I originally said, jokes don't usually make me laugh.
I'm not a big fan of "buildup/payoff" comedy.

Objectively?
It was a bit long and I suggest using PMercutio's version.
Mostly I got bitchy because of the bump and also because someone in another thread was being a twat.
That's my bad.
Misdirected (mostly) annoyance and all that.

Kyogen is truly a fool
Spreading that ego-killing poison
That closes his pupils' mouths
And lets their tears stream from their dead eyes.

The only way that joke could ever be funny is if someone had a completely diferent idea of life, as in America and the world were in different universes.

Feedback? Possible Improvements?
Couldn't you just go back and edit it? Did those two small sentences really need there own post? It went two minutes buddy. Chill out, people will see your thread eventually, there is no need to bump.

OT:Not really that funny. I don't know much about communism so I suppose that hinders my understanding. All in all though, Way to long of a set-up and the punch-line is hard to notice. Plus, you could cut the part about Mao out completely.

Change Mao to Fredrick Engels. Fredrick was actually Karl Marx's friends and co writer on ]The Communist Manifesto

Make Engels give Fredrick the pick up line, like whispered it in his ear

Setup was fairly long but I think the joke was really funny. I think you could improve it by somehow condensing the setup and making Marx's final line a bit more coherent. Should work as long as people don't take it too seriously that Marx didn't live to see Mao's uprising.

EDIT: And pretty much what the guy above me said, change Mao to Engels.

Ich finde, dass der Witz, der verzögert wird und zum Punkt des Seins das Ende des Kommunismus unbrauchbar, Sie bumsender Dick scherzt!

It made me laugh. I thought it was clever and intelligent. Most people won't get it though. (Most people not on this website)
