Chuck Norris facts are not funny at all, until you understand their original context (and even then, only a couple of them are funny). The whole "Chuck Norris Facts" thing was never about idolising him or making him seem cool, but actually about making him look stupid.
An actual quote from Chuck Norris:
Chuck Norris said:
Here's what I really think about the theory of evolution: It's not real. It is not the way we got here. In fact, the life you see on this planet is really just a list of creatures god has allowed to live. We are not creations of random chance. We are not accidents. There is a god, a creator, who made you and me. We were made in his image, which separates us from all other creatures.
From this, came the "Chuck Norris fact":
Evolution is a lie, there's just a list of animals Chuck Norris allowed to live.
Another Chuck Norris quote:
Chuck Norris said:
There was a man whose tears could cure cancer or any other disease, including the real cause of all diseases ? sin. His blood did. His name was Jesus, not Chuck Norris. If your soul needs healing, the prescription you need is not Chuck Norris' tears, it's Jesus' blood.
And from this, came:
Chuck Norris' tears cure cancer. Too bad he's never cried. Ever.
After these two facts got popular, a whole bunch of boring people with no understanding of the context of the original two 'facts' started making up their own 'facts', of course, completely missing the point (which was the mocking of Chuck's pretty extreme fundamentalist Christian beliefs) and making the whole thing unfunny.
Even Chuck thinks it's unfunny these days, looks like he's delivering a roundhouse kick to Penguin Publishing: http://www.reuters.com/article/rbssTechMediaTelecomNews/idUSN2129580420071222
