    I love and appreciate comedy. Laughter is the best medicine after all.
    in 1986 the last person in our community got electricity in their little cottage. He was a man in his 70's called Pat Twomey and my dad gave him the nickname "socket" socket twomey. To this day, the funniest and cleverest thing i have ever heard.
    anyone got anything similar?

    Why should you never tell your Pokémon when you’re taking a shower?

    That our government counts job bridge internships as jobs on the live register. Even through its not in any shape or form paid employment. It's just an unemployed person getting €50 more a week from the tax payer while taking a paid job away from someone else.

    You're bullying me! :D

    No funnies here, though the lads were driving down from the north today and overtook a jeep - they then proceeded to give the jeep driver the whole "aaahhh-yoouu---aaahhh" moron thing out the window as the flew by...whereupon the jeep driver switched on his blues and twos, pulled them over and gave them a bollocking and a fine.. ok, not the funniest, but jasus, I laughed anyway. Some very quiet puppies arrived back in the yard. Immature Spanners.

    Not the funniest thing I ever heard, but made me laugh today. My friend wants a return ticket from Devon to London but was complaining that both the train and national express are far too expensive. I told her she should try Megabus, as their fares are extremely cheap. She had never heard of \megabus so I googled them to show her. I found an online article about how cheap their fares are and showed it to her. For some reason the article included a photo of a bus, on fire, with all its windows blown out. She said "so their fares are very cheap but the downside is that the bus is on fire?"

    It really is how they're told, and for funny incidents you generally did have to be there. It's hard to imagine the necessary build up of cathexis needed for explosive catharsis of genuine laughter reading about things after the fact.

    The skill of a good comedian is creating that tension, exploring fear, doubt or at least confusion then demolishing it all quickly with a commonly understood reference to grant the audience their release.

    Was in the folks' last Sunday and they were watching Family Fortunes.

    The question was Name something you pump up.

    Some answers were paddling pool, mattress, football.

    My 64 year old mother said, innocently, THE VOLUME.

    Funniest thing I'd heard in yonks!

    Out fishing one time got chatting to an oul lad, was asking about where to get permits for fishing that part of the river.

    he told us about a local shop that does them and then proceeded to talk about the new polish girl that just started working there, some one asked "was she good looking" when out of nowhere old man said " ill put it this way, id crawl naked on me hands and knees over broken glass just to put matchsticks in her s%*t

    Now I think it was more that we just werent expecting him to say that, that had me busting a gut laughting

    The old skit on The Day Today with the re-animated corpse.

    It had three programmed voices.

    A generic one, A Martin Sheen one and Louis Armstrong.

    "...Justice..."

    The fact that jobbridge are looking for a fully qualified solicitor to work practically for free. They would have to represent people in court! Talk about having to bend over and grab your ankles. It's hilarious because the powers that be think the people are stupid enough to accept this scheme as a solution.
