Jokes that have been beaten to death

This sort of like the board cliches thread, but with a wider range. Basically, what lame, overused jokes make your skin crawl?

My nr. 1, still found all around the web in discussion threads, is “PETA? Sure, I belong to People Eating Tasty Animals! ;)”. Winky is an instrumental part.

Ha ha ha kerplunk. This went old roughly seven years ago, pretty soon after the “People Eating Tasty Animals” website went up. People STILL saying “People Eating Tasty Animals” and thinking they’re being witty should be forced on a vegan diet for the rest of their lives.

Nr. 2 - anything connected to meaning of life and 42. Please, people, can’t you respect Douglas Adams’ memory by refraining continuous molestation of the whole ‘42’ reference?

Nr. 3 - “Hey, that ‘Ironic’ song by Alanis doesn’t actually have anything ironic in it!” Gosh, noticed that all by yourself, did you? A singer becomes last winter’s snow and all that remains are people complaining that a song of hers titled ‘Ironic’ doesn’t actually have anything ironic in it… no, it isn’t ironic, really. At all.

And that “I’m a lesbian in a man’s body” that sparked that thread… yes, that’s horribly old, too.

“Cheese eating surrender monkeys”. Regardless of anyone’s political opinion, it’s just not funny anymore!

Come on man, jokes died three years go. <i>Ghost stories</i> are the next big thing.

Well Those jokes would be hilarious to someone who has never heard them before. Should have titled this thread “jokes that are old and not funny to me anymore because i’m so hip”.

It’s all perspective my son.

I’ve never heard number 1 & 2 on your list, so they are just beaming with hilarity to me!

Anything at all related to The Princess Bride. Was funny at one time, maybe. Not anymore.

Most. Beaten. To. Dead. Joke.

Worst thread ever!

Also, I like using 42, if only to vet the people I’m talking with. If they understand the reference, they are worth talking to.

  1. Hi Opal!

Also add Monty Python and the Holy Grail. My enjoyment of this movie has been destroyed.

cow-orker.

Pssst. I have a secret for you.

Lean in real close.

There, that’s it…

Douglas Adams isn’t really all that funny.

Threads about beaten-to-death jokes have jumped the shark.

Smiles :):):wink:

I hate how you can’t say “gee, it sure is hot in here” without someone replying “so take off all yooourr clothes”. Damn that song!!

Taste is a strange thing.

Mine is impecible.

Anyone who disagrees with my taste obviously has poor taste.

:cool:

OT, but does anyone have that site’s address? I lost it when my hard drive died.

“Excuse me, could you tell me what time it is?”

“Yeah…it’s 4:20. Heh heh.”

Oh my GOD!! YOU’VE SMOKED POT BEFORE??!!! **What ** are the odds? It’s like a secret handshake! John Q. Law’s got NOTHIN’ on you!! You are the coolest being to ever break his bonds and rebel against the MAN!! Keep on truckin’, brother!!

My freshman year in college, the president of our GSA group suggested there should be a moratorium on sexual puns using the word “come/cum”. I am inclined to agree. I mean, people use the word “come” all the time, there’s just no challenge to it.
