Poll: Is this joke funny?

[PureChaos]

A friend of mine told me a jok the other day that he thinks is hilarious. it was:

Some people came to door yesterday and started telling me all about the goodness of brown bread. i can't stand hovis [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hovis] witnesses.

i think it sucks as do most people i've told it to. what do you think of it?

 

[The Amazing Tea Alligator]

Teehee - I love puns.

 

[The Austin]

Thats not even close to funny.

 

[DonMartin]

You need to add an option for "aah thats clever but not so funny i would actually laugh and not bad enough to be funny, but hey its still kind of clever."

Chuck Norris invented beefburgers by throwing a cow at a chain link fence.... true story...

 

[Jedamethis]

Eh. Wasn't good, but not very bad either.

Spoiler: What do you call an adult balloon?

A blown-up!

Unless It's based on a real event where like some bread company for some reason was going door to door, no, If he said It In an outlandish and sarcastic way then It would be funnier even without any backing, but as for now It's humour can't even compare to some retro game review where a kid liberally uses swear words for shock value.

Also can someone help me with a joke, I've only got the setup, so a grunty, a storm trooper, and sir Ian Mkellen walk into a bar ... I'm out after that.

 

[Cheery Lunatic]

I don't get it. At all.
Is this a British joke or something?

Spoiler: Did you hear about the kidnapping?

He woke up.

Yeah, old joke is old.

Puns are the lowest form of comedy with the exception of miming and the work of the guys who did "Meet the Spartans."

 

[Xelt]

Hovis do white bread too though, so it doesn't work very well..

 

[Continuity]

I didn't so much smile at that joke as grimace in pain... very poor.

Spoiler: What do you call cheese that's not yours?

Nacho Cheese!

Let the bad jokes continue!!

 

[Griphphin]

It's a bit obscure to be a good pun IMO.
...

Spoiler: Why did the fish quit smoking?

He didn't want to get hooked!

Next time you see your mate, punch him for me do it very hard

 

[Colour Scientist]

It's one of those jokes that're so terrible they're funny.
I have to admit I smirked.

Bubbles is the girl next door.

Oh, and your friend's joke reeks.

Lay off puns! ;] I once wrote a sketch about coins stuck down the back of the sofa, which was entirely coin puns Oh, and an interview with the God of Weather written with rain puns.

That said, Hovis isn't a great play on Jehovah, so I don't really find it funny.

Now, for a punny joke from Jimmy Carr.

Spoiler: Also, the world's shortest joke

Venison's deer, isn't it?

 

[Baron von Blitztank]

I've heard worse..
But no joke like that must go unpunished...I shall get the axe.

 

[SteinFaust]

I opt for the leading result to be fulfilled promptly.

In the mouth.

That is all.
