Answer: Pope Hilarius
My God am I bored.
Pope Innocent. Whenever people heard his name, they always started laughing.
Hence the campaign “Pope Innocent is Pious”.
Well, I only know of one Pope who ever made a joke in public, and that was John the 23rd.
When asked “How many people work at the Vatican,” he supposedly put on a serious face, thought for a few seconds, then said, “Maybe half of them.”
That’s a joke name. Like “Naughtyus Maximus” or “Biggus Dickus.”
It is not a joke name! I have a very great friend in Rome named “Biggus Dickus”.
This Pope goes to New York and is picked up at the airport by a limousine.
He looks at the beautiful car and says to the driver, “You know, I hardly ever get to drive. Would you please let me?”
The driver is understandably hesistant and says, “I’m sorry, but I don’t think I’m supposed to do that.”
But the Pope persists, “Please?” The driver finally lets up. “Oh, all right, I can’t really say no to the Pope.”
So the Pope takes the wheel, and boy, is he a speed demon! He hits the gas and goes around 100 mph in a 45 zone. A policeman notices and pulls him over.
The cop walks up and asks the Pope to roll down the window.
Startled and surprised, the young officer asks the Pope to wait a minute.
He goes back to his patrol car and radios the chief.
Cop: Chief, I have a problem.
Chief: What sort of problem?
Cop: Well, you see, I pulled over this guy for driving way over the speed limit but it’s someone really important.
Chief: Important like the mayor?
Cop: No, no, much more important than that.
Chief: Important like the governor?
Cop: Wayyyyyy more important than that.
Chief: Like the president?
Cop: More.
Chief: Who’s more important than the president?
Cop: I don’t know, but he’s got the Pope DRIVING for him!
Fr. Guido Sarducci had a schism and declared himself Pope. He was pretty funny.
I thought Pope Ye was funnier than all of them…
Aw man, and here I thought it was Bob Pope.

I know, but it you say it just right. . .
Heh. Reminds me of a sketch I saw ol’ Bob do once. He was dressed up as the Pope, and doing a ‘commercial’ for the Vatican Express Card. “Belive it or not, sometimes people don’t recognize me. That’s why I carry the Vatican Express Card …”
Anyone who has not already guessed the punch line of the sketch, trust me when I tell you that you don’t want to know. :rolleyes:
Thufferin’ thuccotash! I always thought Thylvest-- I mean, Sylvester was hilarious.
And while he wasn’t so much funny, Lando was pretty cool in Star Wars. And, damn, was he smoooooth in those malt liquor ads.

Poprah or Popeye I never can decide.
Pope E.
Say it fast.
The Pope of Greenwich Village was funny at times.
Although I heard it got no thumbs up.
SCS…don’t leave you know where without it.
Am I correct in guessing it’s “Never leave Rome without it.”?

Of course, Happy. (I think it was “Don’t leave …”, but anyway …)
My fertile pun-gland snagged it about halfway throught the sixty-second sketch. I don’t know if it’s worse having that sprung on you unexpectedly or to suffer through the anticipation.
Due to the financial difficulties experienced by the Vatican, the Pope is forced to take a commercial flight on his visit to the US and entertains himself on the plane by working on a cross word puzzle. He gets stuck on a word and kindly asks the passenger next to him, “Excuse me, my son, do you know a four letter word for a woman ending in -unt?”
Embarrased, the passenger doesn’t know what to say as he doesn’t want to be rude to the Pope. Finally, inspiration strikes. “The word, your emminence, is aunt”
His Holiness thinks for a second. “Yes, you’re right”, replies the Pope. “Could you loan me an eraser?”
I don’t know about Popes but the funniest monk was Abbot Costello.
You know who the funniest God was?
