Have you ever made up a good joke?

    I've always been fascinated by the way jokes make their way around the country, or even the world. But they must start somewhere. So have you ever made up a good joke? I know I'm relying on people's honesty here, which is dodgy territory, but I'll take you at your word.

    I invented how did the chicken cross the road but sold it for a tenner to a young
    Adolf Hitler in a Vienna bar whilst drunk. He ended up having the life I could have had.

    When I look back maybe it was just putting too much power in the hands of one man.

    I made this up:

    A duck walks into a bar.
    "Any quack" says the barman

    That's quite a bizarre claim, but it made me laugh. Let that be your second creation!

    That's pretty good, in fairness. It has just the right amount of cringe for me.

    I have no sense of humour so let me know when you see it.

    Love a great joke remembering them is a problem though.

    I'd tell you all the joke about the bridge that I made up myself but you wouldn't believe me. In fact, you'd never get over it.

    Yep, that's always the problem. The fact that I hear most jokes in a bar doesn't remedy the situation either.

    I've made some terrible punny ones over the years. I did make this one up but it never caught on:

    Why'd the transvestite have a panic attack after he was run over?

    Because his bra didn't match his knickers.

    Why was the Boardsie sorry for posting a bad joke?

    Because it wasn't really Holloween, Jack.......

    I'm trying to be courteous by responding to/thanking all of the earlier contributors, but I'm gonna stop now because I can sense some truly terrible jokes are on the way.

    I made this up a good few years ago. Younger AH readers will probably be left scratching their heads.....

    Saw Cilla Black yesterday. She was leaning over a pile of dog poo saying 'Hello No. 2. What's your name and where do you come from?'

    My finest hour :)

    That's great. That's the stuff I'm after.

    During a particularly low-point in the recession, the Virgin Mary reportedly appeared in a tree stump somewhere in Limerick. I made a very witty comment over a working lunch about pension funds having taken such a turn that even the Virgin Mary was forced into a comeback tour.

    Everyone laughed. It was glorious.

    Sorry to burst your bubble but that joke was about in at least 1979, if not earlier. It's in an old annual we have here since my kids were young.

    There is no Doctor Who

    The main character of the TV show is called "the Doctor", the TV show is called Doctor Who

    Your joke should go as follows

    Knock knock
    Who's there?
    Doctor
    Doctor who
    The Doctor

    Ah always wondered how it grew legs cause any one I told it to said it was a shyte joke I must of heard it unknowingly on the telly one night the folks would of watched all those early 80s cabaret shows. Woke up the following morning had an alleged flash of genius and tought myself a right funny young lad. Ah well the 30 year roller coaster of infamy comes to an end. Bugger.

    My eldest is at the stage where he keeps trying to make up jokes but most of them fall a bit flat. He had one decent one the other day, but it loses a bit in translation:

    Baby mosquito says to his mammy 'why does everyone clap for us when we pass by?'


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,093 ✭✭✭fineso.mom


    When fellas say they are like a 'knight in shining armour'
    I say "Do you mean like Sir Wanksalot?"

    (Then I roar laughing at the cleverness of me.)

    In fairness that's pretty fkn clever for a child to come up with that unless your going to tell us you eldest is in they're 20s now

    AHHHH, I remember the first time I said something, that I thought was funny.

    I was only a little nipper at the time

    It was November 22, 1963, around 7pm.

    I was supposed to have my homework done by half past six, but got distracted playing football.

    My Dad came looking for me and when he found me he shouted.


    “Kennedy being shot, Kennedy being shot”

    I just looked at him and said.







    “I didn’t do it, I didn’t do it”

    Then I laughed and he gave me a good smack on the head

    =(:-) Me? I know who I am. I'm a dude playing a dude disguised as another dude (-:)=

    What do Spanish soccer players feed their babies?

    La Liga.




    (joke will be redundant if they don't make Liga anymore)

    My wife's niece was playing outside and she said to her mother that she was afraid of a dog, her mother said don't mind him he's harmless. Half an hour later she ran into the house telling her mother that harmless was after her.

    Was up in Newry a few years ago and my son asked for a Zumo (fruit smoothy thing) ... got it for him and he started to sip it. Then he says "This tastes different than the usual - it's more tangy" ....
    I replied "yeah, everything is more Orangey up here" ...

    I believe I made this up, or at least added my own twist.

    I like my women the way I like my coffee - Tall, black and it hurts when I dip my mickey in.

    You should copyright that joke.

    Because if ever I have the misfortune of hearing it again I want to know that someone's paying for it!

    I think I just made up a joke!

    A blonde is getting ice cubes for her drink
    Some of them fall on the floor
    She proceeds to pick them up to use them
    Friend asks if she's still going to use the dirty cubes
    Blonde says "Yeah I'll boil them to sterilise them"

    Please hold your applause ladies and gentlemen

    I made up a bit of a long winded joke as a child in the eighties.

    The family dog called Value, because he is valued so much goes missing. The whole family search everywhere for him but he is nowhere to be seen. That night the dad goes to the local shop and comes back with boxes and boxes of homestead brand groceries. The wife looks at him and says what are you doing?
    He says, you know, "homestead, brings value home".

    I made this one up a while back:

    "All my friends think i'm too apathetic, but I Don't care what they think".

    I was going to make up a non-sequitur, but I like dogs.

    I was going to make up a cliché joke about being Irish, but I'm too drunk.

    I read a book on glue last week. It was great. Then again, every book is great when you've been sniffing glue.

    I made my girlfriend a candlelit dinner last night. It took ages to cook that way.

    I bought my girlfriend a voucher for a bikini wax. She ripped all her other bikinis trying to shave them.

    I went for a job interview at Marvel. They asked me to name pictures of superheroes. It was a test of character.
