I was in Chemistry class just before we had to choose university courses and we had a chemical engineer in to give us a talk about the industry and chat about degree choices.

He starts saying how it's good t have a vocational degree and if you do engineering there's always a job at the end of it "If you do something like philosophy then you've got no guarantee of getting a good job"

I replied with "Well, what is a job anyway?" .... silence... then he continues, and I feel a bit stupid. until I hear one girl at the back of the class giggling away, she couldn't be quiet for the last 5 min of his talk.

In 8th grade everyone is just sitting at their desks doing work when one of the girls says "What stinks?" Without even thinking I blurt out, "Close your legs." I look up and everyone is staring at me wide-eyed. After staring back at them for about 3 seconds I put my head down and go back to work.

this thread is gold all over it

i only have one that i can remember very well

it was in 8th grade gym class. we had to watch some anti-drug propaganda videos in class every day for a few weeks. well the 3rd class the videotape had come to an end and the teacher is not in the room. it cuts to a blue screen after about a minute and a low voice says 'please insert tape 2' and i imitate the voice 'this is God speaking'.

my good friend started cracking up, but the rest of the class, nothing.

to this day i still think it was pretty funny

For some reason I have eviljeff's AIM and his profile quotes are always great. (Yes, I am a compulsive profile checker).

Most of these are really funny, just over the line. The ones that actually bomb because they're 1/4 as funny as you thought it would be are the great posts. i want more of those.

I was fairly young, around 18. I'm at a party with a bunch of mates and we're sitting around the living room. Everyones talking, there's music on. My mate next to me starts chatting up this cute girl. He's really working on her and it's making me want to vomit but she's lapping it up. Then the conversation goes something like this:

Her: I really like you. You know, you're really turning me on. (or something to this effect.)

Him: I can tell.

Her: How can you tell?

Him: What's that running down your leg?

Me: Blood?


Nobody was amused.

Once in an English class we were talking about movie adaptations of books. We went through the standard "book is better" discussion, then to cases where they were equal, then to the other end of the spectrum: the teacher asked for great movies based on awful books. I immediately blurted out "The Passion of the Christ."
This is amazing. A+.

This isn't even remotely funny. More of this.

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"
This was not the audience for such intellectual jokes

I was rolling on the floor laughing after I said it. I can't believe I had friends back then.

3rd grade, it's the first time I'm ever in Florida and I'm visiting this private school to shadow a kid for a day.(Note : I eventually go to this school)

2 kids in the class are taking an unusually long time in the bathroom, a girl in the class asks something like "What's taking them so long?"

I reply "Maybe they're mating?"

<silence>

Brag : 15 years later and some people in that class still remember that joke and now think it was hilarious

Well, it's funny, but not because it's a good joke. I agree that more of this kind of story is needed in the thread.

this is one of the adsman variety:

I was at a Yankees game, sitting close to the Orioles' dugout. Jeremy Guthrie was pitching; he was 28 but had only been in the league 2 years because of Mormon service in his early 20s. He got knocked around and when he walked off the mound, I shouted 'go back on a mission!'

Nothing. And they were right.

I would have laughed at every one of these IRL, though some for different reasons than others.

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.
FYJ
something along these lines is way better
Wow, no.

This exact thing happened in the 7th grade with me but with just a group of friends. Obv everyone was laughing but me and the girl. I didn't get the joke and the girl was really embarrassed.

First day of my immigration law class.

Teacher: "What is everyones thoughts on aliens"
Me: "I don't believe in them."

One of those things where it just blurts right out of your mouth before it's too late

In a freshman literature class the teacher was going around the room asking every student what they expected from the course...when it got around to me i went off on how the course was gonna change my life forever and how ive been waiting my whole life for this opportunity etc etc in my really serious but sarcastic face. I think i got some grins but that was it.
This is totally something I would've done.

I rarely go for a joke or even speak all that much in class or around people I don't know all that well. When I do, though, I usually get laughs, especially because no one expects it. Sometimes, though, that means they're not ready for it; they hear me, think for a minute, look at me funny, then just move on.

Once in an English class we were talking about movie adaptations of books. We went through the standard "book is better" discussion, then to cases where they were equal, then to the other end of the spectrum: the teacher asked for great movies based on awful books. I immediately blurted out "The Passion of the Christ."
I'm a Christian, and I think I find this more funny than anything else in the thread.

At lunch today, discussing how I'm the only one who doesn't like Culvers burgers.

"You know why they call them 'butter burgers?' Because everything's good there but-her burgers."

This story happened in HS about 12 years ago when Mortal Kombat first came out. Our health teacher told us some woman from social services was coming in the next day and she expected us to be on our best behavior. The next day, this woman comes in and shows us a video on physical abuse. The video shows some guy coming home to his wife and 2 kids; he starts an argument w/ the wife. Evenually he starts hitting her in front of the kids and she falls on the ground and he starts kicking her in the head. It was actually pretty graphic, which surprised me. Anyway, just as he's about to stomp on her head, the social woman pauses the video to talk about it; I say, "Finish Her!". About 1/2 the class gasps in shock, the other half are trying not to laugh. My teacher got pissed and sent me to the principal's office.
