In memoriam: Michael Jackson joke roundup

A day later and I’m still laughing about this one. I’ve ensured that it has entered the global financial system at multiple touchpoints and by Monday every broker will have passed it on.

Michael Jacksons death does not come as a big surprise, he has been looking awfully pale lately.

What does Michael Jackon and the fastest man in the world who intentionally gets second place in marathons have in common?
They both like to come in a little behind.

One glove, index finger has slight stain

Apparently the coroner reckons the death may have been drug related - they found class As in his bedroom, class Bs in his bathroom and the whole of class 4C in his basement.

Reports of Michael Jackson having died of a heart attack are incorrect. He was actually found in the children’s ward having a stroke…

And this one’s funny because it’s true. Apparently, and I swear I’m not making this up, at the time of Michael Jackson’s death Elton John was having one of his seemingly weekly celebrity parties and when word spread through the crowd people started getting up to pay their respects. The last man up was Elton who closed the night with a stirring rendition of ‘Don’t let the sun go down on me’. Seriously. Here’s a link

One of the first thing that came to my mind when I heard of his death.

“Hell will never be the same”

Mucus garcias.

You’ve been hit by, you’ve been struck by, your left ventricle.

So just beat it!…or, y’know, don’t.

Not a joke, but these are the three Google ads at the bottom of the page:

Michael Jackson: Yes/No?

Zyada and I decided last night that these jokes are all black humour … but trying to be white.

What’s the difference between MJ and Man Utd ?

Man Utd can still play Giggs

May he rest in pieces.

Similar: What do Michael Jackson and sardines have in common? They both come in little cans.

I don’t get this one and I don’t want to miss a good laugh. Can someone explain it, please?

Michael Jackson dangled his child out of a window back in '03 or '04. Apparently it was because he wanted to show his adoring public his child but he caught a LOT of flack for holding a baby out of a window (which is kind of scary). And Eric Clapton’s young son fell out of a window to his death many years ago.

ETA: The baby dangling incident was 2002.

…and this story went around because Clapton composed the song “Tears in Heaven” for his son.

Going around right after OJ was arrested: Michael Jackson called OJ in jail and said “don’t worry, I’ll be right over to take care of the kids.”

Johnny Carson quip after the Pepsi incident: Ronald Reagan isn’t very hip. The other day he called Jesse Jackson and said “well, sorry you burned your hair.”

It’s still funny.

Even if it’s true.

Story? Are you implying it wasn’t true?
