Poll: Your favourite types of jokes.

[Ectoplasmicz]

I'm extremely bored and need a laugh.

What better way than to ask you guys to tell me some jokes? So what are your favourite types of jokes? And reveal your favourite joke of that type!

I love literal jokes, such as...

What did the lawyer say to the other lawyer?

We are both lawyers.

I love all kinds of jokes, but mostly dark humor and dirty jokes

Spoiler: Dark Humor

Whitney Houston filmed a movie called The Bodyguard in 1992, word on the street is that now they want to film a sequel, The Bodybag

Spoiler: Dirty Joke

A sailor is hiking in the words when he sees a beautiful woman on the edge of a cliff about to jump. He calms her down and tells her that he is a sailor who travels the world, and if she comes with him on his boat, he can get her to Europe. So she sneaks on the boat, and every night the Sailor comes down and has sex with her. One day the Captain is performing an inspection of the boat when he finds the stowaway. He asks her what she's doing there, and she replies, "A Sailor promised to show me the world if I stowed away, and every night he comes down and screws me."

The Captain replies, "I'll say he's screwing you, this is the Staten Island Ferry"

Word play. Go watch pretty much anything with Groucho Marx in it. His wit, timing, and command of language are second to none.

My favourite jokes? Jokes that make fun of real life situations and things. Stuff that George Carlin or Bill Hicks did for instance. Lewis Black is decent too, but a bit less for me.

Overall, jokes that don't get their 'funny' from degrading others or yourself are the best to me. "Wim Zonneveld" was awesome, but he's a dutch comedian and already passed away many years ago so I doubt that's of any help.

Probably racist jokes for me. Dark humour as well, but I guess they more or less tie in together.

"Holocaust jokes aren't funny, Anne Frankly, I won't stand for it" is one that used to crack me up a lot.

Pretty much this. I am not big into slap stick or (haha he said penis a bunch of times). I like taking real life problems and turning them on their head. Like Lewis Black on the politicians and terrorist. http://www.milkandcookies.com/link/80765/detail/

My favourite are comedy songs. Anything by Tim Minchin or Bo Burnham is good. I also like dark one liners about real life things (did you hear about the cheese grater Ray charles got for Christmas?? Most violent book he ever read)

 

[Guffe]

For me anythign goes as long as the situation is right, or should I say not wrong!

 

[maddness666]

Puns. The cringeworthier the better. I was going to think of a pun but they don't really work as well unless they come naturally.

 

[Durgiun]

Anything that's not politically correct. I'd give an example, but I don't want to get banned.

 

[Rowan93]

Just about any jokes, although knock-knock jokes are a bit boring.

Although I suppose puns and sex jokes are better. Okay, the punny ones are actually worse, but I think a groan and a laugh are equally good responses to a joke, the only bad jokes are the ones that result in silence.

Captcha: bread of life
Jokes are(/humour is) the bread of life, I guess?

 

[lRookiel]

This is England! Everyone enjoys a bit of casual racism around here!

My favourite types of jokes are Dark humour/Racism/Dirty

Basically, anything Frankie Boyle says is funny as hell, and crosses so many lines.

 

[Jamash]

My favourite types of jokes are word play, for example:

"Karl Marx's grave... is it a Communist plot?"

"I really don't like the abundance of animated avatars on The Escapist... I'm wary of geeks bearing gifs".

While word play types of jokes do involve puns, they're not necessarily limited to just puns.

One of my favourite comedy characters is Count Arthur Strong, an senile raconteur with delusions of grandeur who often confuses homophones or just plain uses the wrong words (often in an attempt to sound more learned than he actually is). Similar characters from videogames would be Lord Rugdumph (Oblivion), Qui the Promoter (Jade Empire) and Barnum (Fable 2).

They tend to be ones that make me laugh, funnily enough. :3

 

[jibjab963]

The random and out of the blue ones. Or just the moments when you mishear things and it turns out funny.

 

[suitepee7]

gotta go for dark humor, all the way. can't beat a good load of offending people

 

[demoman_chaos]

Word play. Go watch pretty much anything with Groucho Marx in it. His wit, timing, and command of language are second to none.

Him and Abbot & Costello are my favorites. It is a grave shame most people have no idea who he is nor do they know that Who is on first and What is on 2nd.

 

[Scarim Coral]

I get a laugh at any different kind of jokes well except for ones that are offensive (racist, dead babies and etc).

 

[Henkie36]

Don't ask me why, I love incredably lame jokes like:

Spoiler

What's green and gliding down a mountain? Skiwi!

Racist jokes are funny, get over it:

Spoiler

Three jews are in a concentration camp, when the camp leader organizes a jump contest. The first guy jumps 1 meter, and gets one bread. The second guy jumps 2 meters, and gets 2 breads. The thrid guy jumps three meters, upon which the camp leader says: Shoot him, he can jump over the fence.

Or really harsh jokes:

Spoiler

A 911 operator gets a panic man on the phone one day: ''Help! My friend has had a haertattack while we were hunting and I think he may be dead! Help me, I don't know what to do!''. Upon which she replies: ''Calm down, the first thing we need to make sure is if he is really dead.'' *Gunshot* ''Yeah, he really dead, what's next?''
