Bad jokes

HarryCHHarryCH Shipmate
This is your incredibly-bad joke thread. Here are a few not guaranteed to be actually funny:

Why won't Dracula attack Mick Jagger? Because you can't get blood from a Stone.

Why won't Dracula attack Gene Simmons? Professional courtesy.

How can we diagnose the difference between bubonic plague and pneumonic plague? Ask
the patient to return tomorrow.

How can you tell whether the bear chasing you is a brown bear or a grizzly bear?
Climb a tree; the brown bear will climb it after you and the grizzly will just knock the tree down.

    Why do elephants paint their toenails red?

    So they can hide in the cherry trees. Have you ever seen an elephant in a cherry tree?

    It works!

  • I thought they painted the soles of their feet yellow so they couldn't be seen when hiding upside-fown in a bowl of custard.
  • DafydDafyd Hell Host

  • A banana walks into a pub and the barman is an orange.

    The orange says to the banana - "what'll you have?"

    The banana says to the orange - "I'll have a freshly-squeezed orange juice please"

    Now the orange is quite thick-skinned and doesn't mind this (see what I did there) but it is a busy pub in the City, full of apples and pears getting their lunchtimes drinks (see what I did there again) and what with one thing and another it is fifteen minutes later and the banana still hasn't got a drink.

    Now the banana is a busy banana with places to go and other fruit to see, so says to the orange - "Can't you hurry it up a little?"

    And the orange says: "Well, you can see I'm really busy here, could you just hang on a couple of minutes?"

    And the banana says, "I'm sorry, but I really have to press you...."

    BOOM BOOM

    P.S. This is my own personal joke which I invented out of my own head, please tell it to as many people as possible because my dream is that some day someone will tell it back to me... but it has to be real...

    I like this much better than most Bad Jokes.
  • Thank you Trudy - that is possibly the nicest thing anyone has said about this joke in the 20 years or so that I have been telling it :)

    Why do scientists prefer to work with lawyers rather than rats?

    Because there are things that rats won't do.

    (I heard this from a lawyer on the ABC Law Report)

    There was me thinking it was to prove he had guts.
  • No, he was trying to do too much and spread himself too thinly.
  • Ahem!
  • No offence ..... !
  • For 20 years I left the top of the toothpaste and my wife was always complaining about it. I resolved to change my ways and stopped doing it. I didn't say anything but I was hoping for some praise. There was silence on the matter for a week. She then suddenly said, "Why have you stopped brushing your teeth ?"
  • Authentic pre-war bad taste Jewish joke, told to Stephen Spender and recounted by him in a book about a post-1948 visit to Israel [Trigger Warning: Some shipmates may find what follows inappropriate, distressing or offensive.]
    Hitler and Goering were walking hrough a Berlin street market. Goering maintained that Jews were cleverer than Germans, but Hitler disagreed.
    'I'll prove it', said Goering, and went up to a crockery stall run by a German.
    'Do you have a left-handed cup?' he asked.
    'A left-handed cup?' said the man, scratching his head. 'No, sir, I've never heard of such a thing.'
    They walked on, and came to another crockery stall, run by a Jew.
    'I want to buy a cup,' said Goering.
    'Here you are, sir,' said the man, lifting one up. 'Good quality, 50 pfennig.'
    'No good, I'm afraid. I wanted a left-handed one.'
    'Well, sir,' said the man, turning it round, 'You're in luck, they're quite rare. But I just have this one left. To you, sir, one mark.'
    Goering paid up, took the cup, and he and Hitler walked on.
    'That proves my point, I think,' he said.
    'I don't see that at all, said Hitler. 'It was just lucky he had one.'
  • A weasel walks into a bar. The barman says, "Wow, I've never served a weasel before. What can I get you?"


    "Pop!" goes the weasel.

    Why's that in bad taste or potentially inappropriate? It makes fun of Hitler and the Jewish stall owner is the hero of that story - or does that now make it offensive to the pro-Palestinian lobby?

    I'd query though whether it's eligible for this thread, simply because it's not a bad joke. It's a very good one IMHO.

    The essence of a bad joke is that it's so obvious it isn't funny, that it elicits a groan rather than a laugh. Telford's toothpaste one is also too good to count as a 'bad joke'. My laugh was genuine. However, I think Sparrow's about the weasel is clever enough to be a very successful groan one.
