I Just Thought Up a Joke

Q: What name does Homer Simpson use when he wants to remain anonymous?
A: John D’oh!

:smack: So, whaddya think? Is it funny?

Um. I don’t think so. Perhaps with the right delivery it could achieve corny.

Depends. What grade are you in? (Hint: anything higher than about 3rd and it’s not looking good.)

Congratulations. You just made the finals of “Last Comic Standing.”

Don’t quit your day job.

I like it. I would never tell it publically, but I like it.

There’s a doper named Jane D’oh! whose opinion, should she choose to offer one, may interest you…

Maybe that’s where I got it from. So is she at a third-grade level (as one poster suggested)?

I made up a joke in fourth or fifth grade. I’m sure someone, somewhere on Earth has had the same thought, but…

Q: What do you call two pieces of recently married crumpled up paper?

A: NEWLY-WADS!!!

This was fourth or fifth grade in the early-1970s, did I mention that? In Kentucky! Southern Kentucky! A Red State! My papaw was illiterate…

Oh well…

Well, it depends. Do you actually hit yourself in the head when you tell it? If you can achieve perfect timing between a level-voiced “John” and an overemphatic “D’OH!” with theatrical head-smackin’, it might not be too bad.

If you just kinda say it, though…yeah, don’t sell the bike shop.

Well you could use the followup

What name does Homer Simpson use when he really really wants to remain annonymous?

Homer Simpson, … D’oh :smack:

(yes I’m glad I don’t work as a comedy sketch writer)

I made up a joke once:
A guy gets sick and goes to to his doctor. The doctor gives him a prescription for medicine. He tell the patient “It’s very important, you must follow the dosage intructions religiously!”

A week later the guy comes back and he’s still sick.

The doctor askes him “Didn’t you take the medicine? I told you to take it religiously!”

The patient says “Yes doctor…but I’m an atheist!”

Well I think that’s a pretty sophisticated joke for a ten year old!!!

(Which is how old I was when I made it up, I’m slightly older now…)

I like it. I’m 17, and for some reason, really really (really!) bad jokes are somewhat popular among my circle of friends, if told at the right moment.

So in other words, me liking it means nothing. But I do.

I laughed. And I will retell it. So yeah, I like it

Every joke is funny, just not all the time, and not for everybody.

“Is it true you’re the world’s worst comedian?”

“Yes.”

“What’s your se-”

“Timing!”

My philosophy is that if I tell a joke that you don’t find funny, then the joke’s on you.

As you can imagine, this attitude has made my very popular. :wink:

The joke I made up last night:
I guess those greeters at Wal-Mart are working Howdy Duty.

HAW HAW HAW!

It made me laugh, YellowTail. :stuck_out_tongue:

That’s pretty good, especially for a 10 year old.
It also reminds me of a conversation I overheard in the local mexican (El Merro Merro) where an old guy said “I go to church every Sunday religiously” strangely enough noone on the guys table reacted to it, though our table had difficulty not laughing and causing embarassment.
