Joke of the day - Page 27 - Laughs or Links

Apparently you can make anti-jokes about ebola but I can't make anti-jokes about bowel cancer.

Anyway, here's a random joke:

What's a really annoying thing that could happen in a bathroom?

You run out of toilet paper!

When the punchline is something expected/normal, it is not a joke.

Quote:

Immanuel Kant, in Critique of Judgement (1790) states that "Laughter is an effect that arises if a tense expectation is transformed into nothing." Here is Kant's two-century old joke and his analysis:
An Englishman at an Indian's table in Surat saw a bottle of ale being opened, and all the beer, turned to froth, rushed out. The Indian, by repeated exclamations, showed his great amazement. - Well, what's so amazing in that? asked the Englishman. - Oh, but I'm not amazed at its coming out, replied the Indian, but how you managed to get it all in. - This makes us laugh, and it gives us a hearty pleasure. This is not because, say, we think we are smarter than this ignorant man, nor are we laughing at anything else here that it is our liking and that we noticed through our understanding. It is rather that we had a tense expectation that suddenly vanished..

But okay, here's a straight-up joke, as in the punchline will be surprising!

What is the most annoying thing that could happen in a bathroom?

George Michael comes in and starts giving you a blowjob.

I mean humour is pretty subjective stuff. For instance I didn't think it was funny when my dad said he wishes he used a condom but my mom found it hysterical.

But if you're gay, maybe it would be a dream come true?

but if your aim was to pee, it's hard to do that while... well you know... hard. So that's annoying I guess.

Not sure what your point is, if you need to pee, you need to pee, no use in getting a bj then...

I love a terrible joke so heres a few for you lot, havent looked through the thread so apologies if any are reposts.

I went for a circumcision at this over priced clinic the other day.

It was a bloody rip off.

What did the paranoid German vegetarian say?

"I fear the wurst."

What do ISIS and Little Miss Muffet have in common?

They both have curds in their whey.

Did you hear about the guy who invented knock-knock joke?

He won the "no bell" prize

I bought shoes from a drug dealer. I don't know what he laced them with but i've been tripping all day.

I met a crab in a pub yesterday, he came across very well.

They all made me laugh, although I was deeply ashamed for doing so.

You can confidently say to just about anyone that you know they have holes in their underwear.

Because my "underwear" doesn't have holes in them. I shape them into holes. But as a standalone object there are no holes.

You can't say something like 'your scarf has holes in it' and then simply shape it into a donut. Or everything has holes in it basically because some machine can probably shape it so.

Having to explain this really kills any humor I was going for

A man comes home late at night totally drunk. His wife was waiting for him and confronts him on his drinking. Her rant impresses him and he promises to change: "I want to become a new man!"

The next day he comes home drunk again. As his wife asks about his plan to become a new man he says: "How could I know the other one also drinks?"
