The humor thread (formerly Sunday funny)

Let me see if I can prove @Archie wrong about Tamil Stand up comedy…

Long ago, there was a king. A musician expressed his interest to perform in his palace. The king had no music sense, but he could not show it out, and could not decline on that basis. So, he consulted his counsellors. One of them said, majesty, don’t worry, I can help you deal with the situation. Tie a thin string around your small finger (or toe) in your foot. I’ll sit in the other room and hold the other end of the thread. When the musician would performs something impressive, I pull the string. You could then appreciate the music/musician. They decided to do as planned. When the musician performed something wonderful, his counsellor would pull the string and the king would go “oh wow wow wow”, then would go “what a fantastic” etc etc. as we would do to appreciate other’s music. After the third or fourth time, the string snapped. Realizing at once the plan would not work anymore, the king cried “stop, stop, stop, the string has snapped!”.

haha… I know string idea (for music sense or lack of it) won’t work (for humor sense or lack of it) as I can’t pull from here to hint where the humor is! Maybe I’ll try and pull another one. :wink:

A small boy had a chat with his dad something like this.

Small boy: “Daddy, daddy, won’t you please get me a Drum set? I’d like to learn!”
Daddy: “No son, you would then strike the drum at bedtime and we wouldn’t be able to go to sleep!”
Small boy: “No daddy, I promise I will not do that. I’ll play the drums after you all go to sleep!!”

A man was sitting in his chair at his 50th floor apartment.
Suddenly he heard a shout “Umar, your son is dead!”.

The man could not bear this news, so he jumped out of his window.
While he was coming to the 40th floor he realized he had no son and wondered if he had made a mistake!
As he was wondering he reached the 30th floor, and soon he realized he had not married!!
When he came to the 20th floor, he realized his name was Ameer and that he was not Umar!!!

@Archie, that’s ok. But do you know comedy rivalry?

In a village, during a comedy scene in a movie theater, people on the one side were laughing. One on the other side asked another “Hey buddy, see, everyone on the other side is laughing and enjoying the comedy?” The other said “Just relax, when the next comedy scene comes, we all will go first and laugh!”.

I’m thinking maybe things got lost in translation if you learned these in Tamil. :upside_down_face:

Same here. I can’t tell if it’s a translation or a regional loss, but something is definitely missing. I pride myself on getting obscure humor.

I know these can be translated much better! :frowning: But somehow think @Archie understands and enjoys these jokes, I might be totally wrong. :slight_smile:

Hi John. I think your trying too hard to win me over. I like a lot of American humour but there is a lot of it that I just do not find funny. I am sure there is a lot of Scot’s and English humour that doesn’t appeal to you.

If you scroll back through this thread you’ll find a ton of amusing stuff I have posted over the years.

Now this is Funny

In general, I’d have pressed the like button for anything I found funny. If not, that was not funny to me! :wink: Maybe a few I’d have missed reading, here and there.

That said, some of the jokes that I share are supposed to be universally funny though! It is up to the individual whether they like it or not. I enjoyed them anyways so I was motivated to share! :slight_smile:

Ah! But I am not universally funny. There is a lot of British Humour I cant stand. It’s all a matter of taste. There’s a ton of Scottish stand up comedy on YouTube that I find extremely funny but I can’t share here because it has so much profanity. But if you want to check it out search, Billy Connally, Janey Godley, Fern Brady and English comedian Sarah Millican. You probably wont understand what they are saying. But be prepared to be shocked by some of the things they say on TV.
