Here's the funniest joke in the world (statistically) |
Heard that joke long time ago....not bad.
Here’s what’s coming at Yuk-Yuks Comedy Club...get used to it https://www.afghan-web.com/culture/nasruddin-jokes/
I couldn't be bothered to listen to the whole six minutes so dipped in to find it.
This is probably it: Man to emergency service - "My friend has had a car accident, I think he might be dead." Operator " Can you make sure he's dead?" ... Operator hears a gunshot.

It was good then too. My favourite joke would have to be the one I laughed the hardest at. You know, a deep uncontrollable belly laugh that puts a smile on the faces of the people watching your antics and leaves you somewhat physically & mentally exhausted. The belly laugh is one of life’s rare moments and personally I don’t think I’ve experienced too many but man, it is good therapy, great for what ails you. Usually it’s an unexpected punchline. My last belly laugh was not really the result of a joke but, I’m struggling to find a word for it, usually an absurdity that you never could have conceived. Perhaps it’s irony. I think I mentioned such a moment in an earlier thread but I was reading an answer to a Cards Against Humanity fill in the blank.... paraphrasing: Broadway’s newest hit show.... (blank) the Musical. Someone answered Auschwitz and for some reason the belly laugh began....I almost felt ashamed and I’ve tried to analyze my response to no avail. The best joke told to me was by an Afro Canadian, a Rastus joke where our subject believes he accidentally turned white. Belly laugh big time, just never expected to hear it from my friend and the punchline totally unexpected.

It's worth watching from the standpoint of a scientific explanation of laughter and why good jokes work, which is something I admit to being apathetic about before. Probably due to the very E.B. White quote that's brought up (paraphrasing): "Humor can be dissected like a frog, but the thing dies in the process and the innards are uninteresting or discouraging to any but the researchers themselves." The "don't go there" stuff that could also be abstracted from it slash mentioned, but would ruin the jocular and pleasant atmosphere of a party setting, like Mank's drunken Quixote tirade at the Hearst gathering: |
