Story my roomie told me the other day :

He was hanging out with a friend who work at a different YMCA than he does and also present were four of his friends female staff members. They all know each other through the Y, but since my roomie works at a different Y, the 4 female staff members don't know him THAT well.

Somehow, they got on the topic of donating sperm and my roomies buddy told my roomie that he should donate his sperm because "he's got great sperm". I guess this line turned into the joke of the night between them all. So when my roomie was departing from the group, while hugging one of the female staff members, she says to him "You have great sperm" to which my roomie replies "Yes, I do. You should taste it sometime".

He said there was awkward silence aand weird looks all around.
LMAO thats awesome

Too many posts in this thread are right on so I'll just quote.

In college I had a pretty straight-laced professor who was one day waxing about relationships and how he had been married for 25+ year (or whatever it was)

He asked rhetorically :

"Do you know how to keep your interest in the bedroom going strong after 25 years?"

I blurted out so that the whole class could hear:

"Turn the lights off?"

About 1/4 of the class laughed, even though they tried to keep it in. 1/4 of the class gasped in shock and the rest just sat there in stunned silence.

The professor paused and just went on like nothing had happened.
Your classmates are dull
completely agree

if your jokes never flop you don't make enough of them
Right completely

Also OP, I would have laughed at "OR ARE YOU!?!" and it's not even close.

Yeah, "or are you" is funny as [censored].

For a group that was finding sperm jokes funny, I can't believe this didn't kill.

Yeah, I don't understand how her joke can be funny to them and his wasn't absolutely hilarious. It was like the perfect culmination of the great sperm jokes.

I sometimes randomly respond to something a friend says with "your mom [whatever they said last]". Sometimes it doesn't even make sense, but I felt like saying it anyway. I feel like someone has to help revitalize the "your mom" jokes!

i was in 9th grade spanish class. The teacher wanted to play telephone. She started up somthing like lavar el carro or something simple like that. I switched it to yo doy muy bien cabeza. It finally works its way back to the teacher she repeats it aloud then translates it. I give very good head. She had no clue what it meant and apparently me and my friend were the only ones who did. We got a good laugh out of it but that was about it.

A close friend was involved in a relationship with a married woman. After weeks of begging for anal sex, she finally obliged. As they concluded, she made her way to the bathroom and said "Oh God I'm bleeding".

Casually, he stated, "Don't worry, I know how to sew". Needless to say, this did not go over well with her.
Yowza. Definitely one you tell your friends afterwards, because they will appreciate it more.

Trying to think of one of my many bombed jokes, but I can't right now. Probably a missed movie reference or something like that.

Somehow the topic of ceiling mirrors came up and I said they would be awesome. My sister-friend said "yea of course you'd like it, then the guy could look up and see everything." To which I responded "ohhh so now I know you ride on top of Taylor when you have sex"...the ex girlfriend did not like that at all and there was a long long awkward silence. Oops!
The correct joke here is that the mirror would have written on it ... "Objects may be larger than they appear"

I was in 11th grade business class. We were doing an exercise where we practice a job interview with partners. We got to pick which job we would interview for, so i decided with my partner i'd interview to be the president of the US. Our teacher was young and pretty hot but way to uptight.

At one point we are supposed to ask the question "how can we be let go or lose this job?"
and my parnter says "well there are numerous offenses you can make of varying degrees that can get you indited"
i reply, without having told my partner ahead of time
"Oh yea? LIKE BANGING AN INTERN!?"

Partner could barely keep a straight face but teacher gave me a C because of it.

I was at a college dinner - the whole senior class was there, it was the day before graduation, and anyone was allowed to go up and give a toast - so this boring guy gets up there and starts giving a toast to rhetoric, just droning on about how we've all learned how to make glorious speeches off the cuff - and I finally heckle him with 'You're doing a great job of showing it!' from the back.

I learned then - it is not a good idea to heckle a toast, regardless of how poor it is. I got a few gasps and stifled laughs from my friends, and a strong desire to be anywhere else in the world.

most of the stuff I say that I think will be absolutely hilarious people don't get.

The stuff I say that I think is a bit funny people crack up at. Its so weird.

Absolutely. Whenever I say something that is just a standard joke, that I'm just doing because it's so obvious and somebody has to say it, that gets the laugh. But when I think of something brilliant, unique, and obtuse, I get stares.

I had a friend who I went to elementary school with and hadn't seen in awhile when we went on a summer exchange together. The kid is a pretty stereotypical rich white kid who is a little artsy and thinks he is much deeper than he really is.
We are having a discussion about what's on are IPOD
He says: "I used to listen to Death Cab a lot when I was depressed"
I say in my best emo impression: "I listen to them when I slit my wrists"
Turns out he had some pretty serious issues. Him and the other girl there just stare at me, not angrily, but just shocked.
Happy end note That kid got his some of his [censored] together and I am now good friends with him.

I was in an English class and our teacher was a huge comic book nerd. We were talking about weekend plans and he said he was going to a comicon convention. I raised my right hand in the air and yelled "VICTORY". I had one guy elicit a reaction.

I'm waiting tables in Ontario and in the fall we get all these Americans coming up and hunting/fishing - they all tip amazing.

so these 4 American guys come in and take a seat at the semi-casual restaurant I was at. these guys are total American hunters - overweight, big manly men. they're ordering rounds of Bud and JD and finally they order food.

guy 1: I'll have bla bla bla bla
guy 2: yeah make it 2
guy 3: so, what about your pizza?
me: what would you like to know?
guy 3: so how big is it about?
me: 12 inches - about 8 inches more than you're used to
guys: .....

For a lifelong class clown like myself, I am not sure I can even grasp how many of my jokes have bombed.

I do stand up, and some of it is intentionally very corny and I like to tell it at drunken parties. Usually the following joke gets a few laughs, but in a class of mine the other day where upon hearing I am a jokester it was requested I make a joke, it got nothing:

"When I was a kid I went out to Missouri, visiting my great grandparents. When I was there I saw a caterpillar museum, and it was awesome. I came back the next year but it had flown away.

I bomb a lot of jokes out of being way too crude and plenty because of being lame.

Two related to the same topic:


1. In a college class discussing birth control and it the implications that the hormone changes can have on women and sleep some girl was going off on a tangent about how "women have to take the pill, and women have to make sure of this, and women have to go get the morning after pill, etc. it's just not fair that a bunch of male scientists develop all these birth control methods that rely on the woman. they need to focus on some birth control methods that put the responsibility on the guy."

i then let out a too-loud mumble of "Seems like you already have a solid form of birth control. It's called 'bitch.'"

This isn't really a laugh line, but I was disappointed that it got zero reception.

At my office, my co-worker, good friend, gets boxes and boxes of sample goods that we might potentially sell in our stores. He ran out of space in his cube and started keeping the boxes in my cube, which is fine because it's random fun stuff like christmas cookies and nerf balls and whatnot. It became a running joke between us as more and more stuff started arriving and taking up more of my cube. One day he gets an unusally large cluster of new boxes, and he starts stacking them at the entrance of my cube as a joke, acting as if he was completely sealing me in. I work in an office of bright, young, very well-educated people, so I say, loud enough for a couple people who were watching the scene to hear, "What is this, the cask of Amontillado?"

zoooooooooooooooooom. Not one of my Ivy-league coworkers got the reference.
