I nominate [Billy Rubin’s Prehensile Rectum thread.](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=80957&highlight=prehensile+rectum)

Also, there was another “funniest thread” thread during the Winter of Our Missed Content. Good News: it’s [archived on BoardReader]([http://www.boardreader.com/scripts/texis.exe/viewthread?query=zut](http://www.boardreader.com/scripts/texis.exe/viewthread?query=zut) funniest&ttype=&postid=3d555519c4) if you want to see some more funny-stuff nominations. Bad news: All the links are missing in the archived version, so you have to search yourself. I recommend reading my summary near the bottom, which at least tells who’s the OP of the suggested threads.

I think that our pal **jjimm** deserves some sort of award for his response in a **Sweet Willy** thread which appears to have been deservedly trashed. It went something like this:

**Willy** : “I want to quit being a Jew and become a gentile!”

**jjimm** : “You misspelled ‘genital.’”

Rather than tie up the server with a search I will quote as best I can remember since they were very short(and oddly enough both involved anuses).

The first one was in a sequential title thread.

“So… What’s the largest thing you have ever put in your anus?  
Ohhh God! please not my cat.”

The second one might still be part of someone’s sig but I haven’t noticed it in a while and it is a line that stands best without explanation.

“I can assure you that was no ordinary stretched open anus.”

Don’t want to tax the server, but one that always cracked me up was some newbie that wanted a serious answer to some ridiculous troll-bait, and instead everyone started sharing recipes. In a rage, he started _another_ thread, verbally threatening anyone who posted a recipe of any kind or any other non-topic post.

The **very next** post was a recipe for black bean enchiladas.  
There was also a great line from **Manhattan** in one of senior-hater Uekte’s threads along the lines of “I closed the thread because you are very stupid and couldn’t possibly have a factual answer to the question at hand…”

**screech-owl** just came up with a zinger, in “…nearly stood up to the Chicken of Bristol…”

RTFirefly cited a pic with a matador dodging a rooster.

screech-owl: Jeez. Another cock-and-bull story…

then on reflection

screech-owl: 'Yup. It’s a rooster alright.

If it was a hen, the picture would better have been titled “Pullet Surprise”. ’

Okay, I know there have been threads recently that have made me laugh out loud, but I can’t bring them to mind at the moment. But this one…this one remains in my memory. My sweetie Patrick/ **iampunha** made me laugh 'til my tummy hurt with this one; I just read it again…and it happened again.

Just a note…nothing against **Stoid** here…I met her, and I like her. Just…Punha was hysterical. IMHO.

Besides which, since I am a good friend, bet he’ll let me rub his tummy, too! Bet he’ll even rub MINE! 😃

My favorite funnies have been Halvsie, Gotcha Ya, and Monkey Butler. I’m too lazy to look up links (Gotcha Ya is linked above), but those are some seriously funny threads. Halvsie is a must read.

To this day, nothing has made me laugh as hard as the important question of [Can we induce morality in sea monkeys?](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=65105&threadid65105)

**Zut** and **Cyberhwk** , that is my all time favorite thread. Though, as a warning, it can pop back into one’s mind at inopportune moments.

My favorite in there (not exact quote):  
Him: (during strenuous activities) Make big noises.  
Her: Oink, oink  
(activity stops)  
Him: What was that?  
Her: You said, “Make pig noises.”

The thread that got me hooked to the SDMB was one comparing the similarities between **Star Wars** and **The Princess Bride** - starting of with the observation that Darth Vader wore black, and a mask, and has the line “As you wish”.

I can’t find it anymore - I think it was over a year ago…

I think the funniest thing I’d ever read was from the semi-famous musician (Aha?). He was telling about a time when he was on tour with another band who was fishing from the balcony and then later on was spanking some woman with a fish they had caught. I laughed so hard I was crying.
