A leg. I remember being in a library when I heard that and laughing so hard I nearly vomited (guess you had to be there). Had to be helped from the building. ---

What does the famed “Aristocrats” joke family count as? Anti-humor? Dead-baby comedy? Jungian-memetic hacking? ---

[QUOTE=jjimm] Here’s a host of deliberately overly-PC jokes - [Bernard Righton](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=svLyyzBC_qI). (To get the joke fully, you have to know that he’s based on the infamous racist/sexist/homophobic “comedian” [Bernard Manning](http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/3867363.stm).) There’s also a load of really unpleasant and dirty jokes that sadly I can’t repeat here, but you can find them if you google “sickipedia”. [/QUOTE] I thought Righton was pretty funny. I may have to share that with some rather humorless friends. Robin ---

I love some of these - the ones that come back hard and wrong like the ‘what’s worse than finding a worm in your apple’ one. They remind me of a line one comedian used on a another comedian: "oh yeah, he’s a master of everyday, observational comedy everyone can relate to - like, “you know when you get nervous and strangle the hooker?” " I suppose Sarah Silverman does this sometimes - but it feels like she doesn’t get it right as often as she’d like… [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/anti-humor/431595.md?page=2)
