World's funniest joke

Al Capone was doing so well in Chicago that he decided to try to use his money and influence to enter high society. He knew that he was feared and would be safe from criticism. But he looked at his girlfriend who grew up in the Chicago slums, and realized that she would be viciously mocked and ridiculed.

Unwilling to relinquish either his social aspirations or his girlfriend, he decided to send her off to a well respected finishing school.

A year later, his girlfriend breezed into his office, ran her fingers over his face and asked “Darling, were you blue while I was gone?”

Capone grimaced, looked at Frank Nitti and said disgustedly, “All that money and she still gets her tenses wrong!”

What’s the difference between an oral thermometer and a rectal thermometer?

the taste! :smiley:

It’s career day at the Catholic elementary school, and Sister Mary Clementia has instructed the students to stand up, one by one, and state what they want to do with their lives when they grow up.

“When I grow up, I want to be a fireman!” says little Billy.

“I want to be a doctor when I grow up!” utters little Janie.

“An astronaut! That’s what I want to be.” replies little Franklin.

Then it’s little Suzy’s turn. She stands, and bluntly says “When I grow up, I want to be a prostitute.”

Sister Mary Clementia faints dead away and hits the floor with a resounding thud. Hearing the noise, the other sisters investigate and attend to her. After she’s revived, Sister Mary Clementia asks little Suzy to come to her desk.

“What was it you said just prior to my…unfortunate spell?” asks the nun.

“I said 'when I grow up, I want to a prostitute.” the girl boldly says.

Sister Mary Clementia blinked. Then, she flashed a wide, much relieved smile. “Ohhhhhhhh! I thought you said you wanted to be a protestant.”

The look on Jack Benny’s face.

What’s the difference between a pile of dead babies and a Ferrari?

I don’t have a Ferrari in my garage.:frowning:

Way back in the early 1800’s in the Frontier Days, there was a tribe of (WARNING: PC TERM AHEAD) Native Americans who were known far and wide for their hunting skills. This tribe would routinely hunt enough game to keep not only their own tribe fed, but the entire (WARNING: PC TERM AHEAD) Native American nation well fed for the entire winter season.

The supreme hunter of this tribe was their chief who went by the name of Falling Rock.

Their typical hunting excursion would consist of Chief Falling Rock scouting ahead for a few days, then reporting back to the hunting party the location of the best herd of game in which to hunt.

Only one day, Chief Falling Rock didn’t come back.

So the hunting party sent out search groups to look for their beloved leader, because, without him, they would not be able to hunt enough game to feed their own tribe let alone the entire **(WARNING: PC TERM AHEAD) **Native American nation.

No sign of Chief Falling Rock.

The entire (WARNING: PC TERM AHEAD) Native American nation was summoned to scour the countryside in search of their beloved chief and master hunter, Falling Rock.

The search turned up nothing, and winter was approaching fast, and the (WARNING: PC TERM AHEAD) Native Americans were already running out of food.

So in desperation they turned to the (WARNING: NON-PC TERM AHEAD) White Man and his Wiley Ways. (WARNING: NON-PC TERM AHEAD) White Man thought and thought about how they were going to help out the (WARNING: PC TERM AHEAD) Native Americans and finally made a breakthrough:

They announced to the **(WARNING: PC TERM AHEAD) **Native Americans, “I got it. We’ll start a nation-wide advertising campaign!”

…And to this very day you still see signs along the roadsides that say “Watch for Falling Rock.”

Since you started with Spike Milligan, I’m going to share my favorite Goon Show bit, even though it’s an aural joke and very much a “you had to be there” moment. It’s from “The Fireball of Milton Street” and I will do my best to reproduce it here (GS purists please forgive my faulty memory if the dialogue is not exactly right).

Cast of characters:
Henry Crun, an elderly gentleman.
Minnie Bannister, an elderly lady, with whom Henry shares an unspecified but intimate relationship.

It’s late at night, and Henry is arriving home.

Henry: Oh, drat, I’ve lost my key out here in the dark, and I can’t find it. Oh well, I’ll just knock on the door and Minnie will let me in. (knocks).

Minnie: Ohhhhh, we’ll all be murdered in our beds! Who’s that down there?!?

Henry: It’s me, Min, Henry.

Minnie: Henry? Haven’t you got a key?

Henry: I’ve lost my key, Min, and it’s dark and I can’t find it.

Minnie: Well come in where it’s light and have a look for it.

Henry: It’s no good, Min, it’s too dark and I can’t find my key!

Minnie: Oh, all right, mnhmn, I’ll let you in.

(Sound effect of an old lady in sensible shoes clumping down some stairs).

Clump clump clump clump clump clump clump clump clump. (pause).

Clump clump clump clump clump clump clump clump clump.
Henry, to self: I can’ t understand it – we live in a bungalow!

Well, I said you had to be there. Full credit to the incredible comic timing of the sound effects person.

Who’s there?

Sir who?

A North Dakotan goes out to do some ice fishing. He finds a likely spot in the ice and begins to drill a hole.

Suddenly, a big booming voice rings out: “NORTH DAKOTAN, THERE ARE NO FISH DOWN THERE!!!”

The North Dakotan is confused by this, but goes off in search of a new fishing spot. He finds a good place and once again begins to drill through the ice.

Again, the big booming voice: “NORTH DAKOTAN, THERE ARE NO FISH DOWN THERE!!!”

So the North Dakotan picks up and searches for another likely spot. But even before he can begin drilling a new hole, the big booming voice rings out: “NORTH DAKOTAN, THERE ARE NO FISH DOWN THERE!!!”

The North Dakotan looks up and shouts “OK, but who are you? God???”

And the voice booms out: “NO, I’M THE ARENA MANAGER”.

One of my neices thinks this is the funniest joke in the world:

What did the snail on the turtle’s back say?

Wheeeeeee!

Hah! :stuck_out_tongue:

I thought this one was funny back in high school biology:

How do you tell a boy chromosome from a girl chromosome?

You pull down their little genes!

The President, the Pope and a rabbi walk into a bar. The bartender looks at them and says, “What is this? Some kind of joke?”

And of course the alternative ending to the Buddhist monk at the hotdog stand…

The hotdog vendor gave him a double scoop of vanilla with chocolate chips. It was an ice cream koan!

watch a movie called the Aristocrats. It contains the second funniest joke I have ever heard in my life. the funniest is just too damn long to write up here, it takes about 40 minutes to tell.
And I could never do the aristorcrats joke justice in wiriting. But seriously, watch it.

Three statisticians go hunting one fine autumn day. A deer runs in front of them.

One statistician shoots ahead of it.

The second shoots behind it.

The third shouts, “We got it!”


Joe retires and builds his dream house on a mountain in West Virginia. He’s just settling in when there’s a loud knock at the door. He opens it to see a huge, unkempt man in a torn red plaid shirt, jeans with suspenders, beer belly and an enormous bushy beard.

“The name’s Big Earl,” the man booms. “I live on the next hill over. I guess we’re neighbors now, huh?”

“Hello, Big Earl,” Joe says. “Won’t you come in?”

“No, thanks. Just wanted to invite you to my party on Saturday.”

“Oh, uh… thanks. Sure, I’ll come.”

“Great. Six o’clock; don’t be late.” Big Earl is about to go, then turns back and says, “You know, I guess I should warn ya… there’s usually a lot of weird drugs at my parties.”

“That’s OK,” says Joe. “I’ve been known to partake.”

Big Earl grunts. “I guess I should also warn you, there’s a lot of drinkin’ at my parties. I mean, a LOT of drinking.”

“No problem.”

Big Earl nods. “And, just so y’know… there’s a lot of wild, kinky sex at my parties.”

Joe wonders what he’s agreed to, but says, “That’s OK, too. I’ll be there. But tell me, would you like me to bring anything? What should I wear?”

Big Earl shrugs. “Won’t matter none. Just gonna be the two of us, anyway.”


Isaac, a nice little old Jewish man, is walking through a Berlin park in 1934. Suddenly a big limousine pulls up beside him, and Heinrich Himmler jumps out. He points a Luger pistol at Isaac and barks, “Jewish swine! Eat that dogshit on the sidewalk!” The man sees the Gestapo chief is dead serious, so he reluctantly gets down on his hands and knees and starts eating the dogshit.

Himmler laughs so hard he drops his gun. Isaac immediately picks up the gun, and says, “OK, Mr. Big Shot, now YOU eat the dogshit!”

Himmler swears a blue streak but gets down on his hands and knees and starts eating the dogshit. Isaac waits until Himmler’s finished, then knocks him out with the butt of the gun and runs back home.

His wife lets him in. “So, how was your day?” she asks.

“I’ve had better. But you’ll never believe who I had lunch with…”


The Pope dies and goes to Heaven. St. Peter welcomes him and shows him to his quarters: a dingy apartment with a lumpy bed and a leaky faucet in the bathroom. The Pope grumbles to himself a little but settles in.

The next day he goes for a walk and sees a huge mansion. He can see a pool in back with six beautiful women sunning themselves. A limo pulls up, the chaffeur leaps out and runs around to open the door, and a well-dressed man gets out and is greeted by the butler and a platoon of servants.

The Pope is fuming. He goes straight to St. Peter and says, “Look, I don’t mean to complain or anything, but I just saw this guy who lives in a mansion. I was Christ’s Vicar on Earth, Bishop of Rome, Supreme Pontiff, and all I get is a crappy apartment? Why should that guy - who I don’t even recognize - get such better treatment than me?”

St. Peter nods understandingly. “I know, I know. But we’ve got a lot of Popes up here… and he’s the first lawyer.”


A woman is walking along the beach. She finds a brass lamp in the sand, picks it up and rubs it. A genie pops out and says, “Hey, thanks, lady. I was in there a long time, and my magic has waned a bit over the centuries. Tell you what, for freeing me, I’ll give you one wish.”

“Just one?” she asks. “Hmmm. Let’s see.” She takes him to the library and shows him a map of the Middle East. “Here’s Israel, here’s Syria, here’s Egypt, Iran, Iraq, here’s the West Bank… my wish is, I want you to bring peace to the Middle East. They’ve been hurting and killing each other for far too long, and I want you to fix it all so that they can live in harmony and mutual understanding with one another.”

The genie is aghast. “Lady, come on. I’m just one genie. You’re asking for the impossible! Sorry, no can do.”

The woman shrugs. “OK, then… what should I wish for instead?” She gets an idea. “I know! I want you to introduce me to the perfect man, and make him fall madly in love with me. I want a man who’ll remember my birthday, take me to romantic movies, not watch sports all the time, not fart in bed, really listen to me, try to understand my feelings, and get along with my mom.”

The genie stares at her and then says, “Let me see that fucking map again…”


It’s Christmas time. A mail carrier knocks on a door to deliver a package, and the door is opened by the lady of the house, a beautiful woman wearing a revealing negligee. She pulls him inside, leads him upstairs, and makes love to him for hours. The mail carrier has never had a better day! He’s lying in bed, utterly spent, when the lady takes her purse from the bedside table. She pulls out a dollar bill and hands it to him.

“What’s this for?” he asks, puzzled.

The lady explains, “My husband and I were talking about what Christmas bonuses we should give to the barber, the paperboy, and so on. We worked our way down through the list and got to you. I asked him what he thought I should give you and he said, ‘Fuck him. Give him a dollar.’”


Jesus is walking through the countryside one day when he comes across a mob about to stone an adultress. Jesus calmly says, “Let he who is without sin cast the first stone.” Then he begins drawing in the sand as the mob drifts away, one or two at a time. He finally looks up to see one person still standing there, stone in hand.

Jesus says warningly, “Mom…”


And the single most disgusting joke I’ve ever heard…

Q: How does a hillbilly mom know when her daughter’s having her period?
A: Her son’s dick tastes different.

Ask me what the most important skill for a comedian is.

What’s the most imp–Timing!

My all-time favorite is:

What did Jeffrey Dahmer say to Lorena Bobbitt?

“You gonna eat that?”

A really nice ice cream shop had opened up in the neighborhood. It was one of those with a zillion flavors and it was insanely popular. One hot summer day a man came in, wiped the sweat from his face and said, “Whew, it’s a hot one! I’m dying for something cool! Gimme three scoops–chocolate!”

"I’m sorry, sir, "replied the woman at the counter, “This weather’s had us really busy today and we’ve had such a run on chocolate that we’re all out. We have all the other flavors though–in fact, the French vanilla is especially nice.”

“OK,” he said, “let me have two scoops of that vanilla, and one scoop of chocolate.”

“Sir, we’re all out of chocolate!” said the woman, “How about some strawberry?”

“All right, I’ll take two scoops of the strawberry and one of chocolate.”

The woman was becoming a bit exasperated, but she struggled to maintain a polite air, and said, “Sir, I’m telling you we don’t HAVE any chocolate–you could have strawberry and vanilla, or any other flavor EXCEPT the chocolate!!”

The man thought for a moment, then said, “OK, I’ll take one scoop of vanilla, one scoop of strawberry, and one scoop of chocolate.”

The woman took a deep breathe to keep from screaming, and after a moment’s thought, said, “Sir, tell me something. Can you spell the ‘van’ in vanilla?”

The man looked a bit puzzled, but said, “Sure. V-A-N!”

“And can you spell the ‘straw’ in strawberry?”

“S-T-R-A-W!”

'Now, can you spell the ‘fuck’ in chocolate?"

“Lady, there ain’t no ‘fuck’ in chocolate!”

“THAT’S WHAT I’VE BEEN TRYING TO TELL YOU!! THERE AIN’T NO FUCKIN’ CHOCOLATE!!
