The Daily Joke Thread ⚠️ (keep it clean please) ⚠️

The Ken Thompson of Eunuchs fame?

Reminds me of the joke where The Mother is giving pizza to her kids. The Brother measures his slice with a micrometer and starts howling that The Sister’s slice is 3 molecules bigger than his, so The Mother takes the knife and cuts his slice in half.

“There. Now you have 2 slices and she only has 1.”

Why do Scuba divers always fall backwards off their boats?

If they fell forward, they’d still be in the boat.

A good ²³⁸Umbrella policy should cover it.

“How bad are the fires in Southern California?
They’re so bad that Ukraine has offered to send 150 of their firefighters to help with the fires.”

The above is a joke paraphrased from The Daily Show, but it’s also true.

3 Thanks

Personally find No humor in these fires.
Any help is good help.

Since this thread is filled with really bad jokes, I’ll add some awful ones, they are antiques to boot.

  1. How many ears does Spock have?

A left ear, a right ear, and a final front ear.

  1. Why do elephants have big ears?

Because Noddy won’t pay the ransom.

  1. Patient: Doctor, doctor, there a lettuce leaf growing out of my bum, is it serious?

Doctor: I’m afraid it’s just the tip of the iceberg.

  1. Patient: Doctor, there’s a strawberry growing out of my arm.

Doctor: Don’t worry, I’ll give you some cream to put on it.

  1. What’s brown and sticky?

A stick.

  1. How do you confuse a simpleton ?

Okay, I don’t get #2. Who’s Noddy?


K, never mind, I goggled “noddy”… :elephant:

I agree with that.
To anyone that cannot find humor in a dark subject, I say it’s time to more fully develop your sense of humor.
No matter how bleak a situation is, humor can be derived from that situation.
It’s called gallows humor, and it’s healthy to partake in gallows humor, according to the famous Dr. Drew Pinski (and myself.)
I live in Southern California, although in a part that does not typically have crazy fires (like Los Angeles County sometimes has.)
Both of my parents were born in the city of Los Angeles, and my entire family sympathizes with those that have lost their homes, but my family also believes in gallows humor.
I have a personal challenge:
Watch this YouTube video and tell me that Pete Lee’s comedy about the Southern California fires is not funny.
Warning:
If you do that, your name will be added to a list of people that don’t have a fully developed sense of humor. :grin:

Chemical Formulas

Can you pass the nackle?

True story:
When I took high school chemistry, I pronounced NaCl and HCl phonetically.
I thought I was being funny, but looking back now, it wasn’t that funny. :man_facepalming:

I always call phosgene “cockletoo”, just like the birb.

Yeh, “nackle” and “hickle”. Perfectly cromulent words…

To call me and the chemistry teacher in high school “best chums” was as likely as me doing warp speed on my moped. Every time he and me had a “minor difference of opinion”, his way of saying goodbye was “see you at the aural exam”, meaning he would rather burn me to a cinder than hand me over my high school diploma. This time in class he wanted to hear the order of corroding elements, and I told him fclobris. His reaction was he never heard of that element. It was the only way I could remember them, and I told him it meant: F, Cl, O, Br, I and S. Which he sadly could not deny.

BTW my chemical knowledge was at least questionable, but this time my written exam was so good that I did not have to face him at an aural exam :stuck_out_tongue:

Okay, here’s a joke that appeals to me, but I admit that it’s pretty stupid.

Unit Circle

They’re continuing to search for a square with the same area as the circle, as efforts to construct one have run into difficulties.

That’s from NKVD or whatever? Yeah, I don’t get the “humor” they think is funny.

It’s like they take something esoteric, make a bad joke about it, draw some picture to go with, and eggheads of various fields think they’re real knee-slappers… or just act like it to look “kewl” over non-eggheads who Just Don’t Get It.

Like someone will come up with captions:

“Man, it’s so cold outside I had to wipe all the Bose-Einstein Condensate off the windows… and they’re triple-pane windows, yet!”

“Yeah, man, that really is pretty cold!”

And all the eggheads hoot’n’holler at how hy-larious it is.

Urg.


Hmm, actually, that one above is probably better than most of their comix. Hope they don’t steal it…

That comes close to a Ross Geller joke in “Friends”.

Why has nobody noticed the pterodactylus in the bathroom? Because it has a silent “p”.

Sorry if it is not totally correct, but I could not find the exact words used on the interweb.

I don’t get any of the humour in this thread.

The Bose Einstein condensate joke is clever but not amusing, but then I do have a PhD in solid state physics. Here’s a geeky ‘joke’:

There are 10 kinds of people in the world, those who understand the binary counting system, and those why don’t.

It’s not amusing.

Hmm…
I understand the vast majority of the jokes in this thread.
I might not be able to explain why all of them are funny, but I see the humor. :man_shrugging:

I was recently at an Indian restaurant with a friend. During the main course he had a fit, and fell into a deep korma.

Sorry !
