Funniest thing in the world

Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share

In case anyone was wondering, it has been confirmed; the funniest sight in the world is seeing an adult play basketball against a little kid.

I saw a commercial on ESPN the other day where a dad is playing basketball against his son (who can’t be more than 6). Watching him drive and then dunk over the little kid, on the lowered hoop, is comic gold.

The law of “adult vs. kid in a basketball game = comedy” was also tested, and proven in Rushmore, when Bill Murray, while talking on his cell phone, blocks a little kid’s shot.

I just thought I would take a moment and make this public service announcement: the debate is over before it ever started. Adults playing baskebtall against little kids is always funny!

Is this the same ‘generation gap’ commercial where … the guy … is … huffin … gandg … aspingand … is … totallyoutof … breath … bythe … end … of …the … commercial?

Love that one.

No, penguins falling over onto their back as they watch an airoplane take off is the funniest thing in the world. (Though slip-sliding Polar Bear cubs comes a very close second).

4

I thought it was ducks wearing underpants.

5

No, no, you are all wrong. The funniest thing in the world is a farting monkey wearing a cowboy outfit, riding a dog.

You may now return to your pointless debate.

Link, please, I’m beggin’ ya.

Although certainly messy, I’ve often said that I think one of the funniest things ever to see would be if someone actually coughed up a lung. Sure we say “oh my word, I’m coughing up a lung” but what if it really happened? Hmm??

[hijack]

El Kabong, I’ve been meaning to ask forever - is that name a reference to “The Critic”?

[/hijack]

I’ll go crawl back under my rock.

Whatever the funniest thing in the world is, I am sure it includes the word “monkey.” Saying “monkey” automatically makes everything funnier.

9

Yes.

And I’ve never seen any of these commercials!! I need to start watching more tv. :stuck_out_tongue:

Sorry they were memories from long ago. The penguins from the time of the Falklands war (and they turn out to be an urban legend,DARN ). The slip-sliding polar bear cub was from a BBC nature program so I guess it will be copywrited and not available on the web.

11

Farts.

See, even mention of the word puts a smile on your face. :slight_smile:

12

No no, it’s the word poo!

Poo. Poooooooooooooooo. Poo. Poopy poopy poo.
Why yes, inside, I’m still 4. Why do you ask?

13

Not quite there, but I think we’re on to something. What parts will be necessary to make up “the funniest thing ever?”

  1. Monkey
  2. While this is only personal preference, I believe “Henry Kissenger” automatically makes anything funnier.

So, what other parts can weput together to make “the funniest?”

Eh? EH?

14

Well, now you mention it Henry Kissinger playing basketball against a monkey would be pretty darn funny.

15

In the same vein as the OP, there was a series of commercials for the NFL playoffs about two or three years ago featuring Samuel L. Jackson. He suited up with a bunch of little kids and Went To Town.

The funniest bit I recall had him in the end zone, having just scored a touchdown on a kid who’s maybe 5. The kid is lying on his back, and Sam is standing over him, pointing at him and laughing and doing a victory dance. I’m laughing just thinking about it.

16

Kangaroos beating up people

17

Ack! I saw one of those “World’s Scariest Videos” shows about five or six years ago in which a guy got horribly mauled by a kangaroo. I’ve been terrified of them ever since.

Fortunately for me, kangaroos are not an omnipresent danger in the Missisippi Delta.

The funniest thing is adding ‘in my pants’ to the ends of movie titles.

19

Monkey poo!

Adding the word monkey into a rant is sure thing - beautifully funny. I recall the scene from Happy Gilmore in which Happy is cursing his golf ball while on national TV. In his string of profanities the bad words are bleeped out but his inclusion of the word monkey is left in – classic. Some other words that help:

Ape
Cheese
Ape-cheese
Dick Butkus
Donkey
Nutsack
Donkey-nutsack
