I found his lecture on Evolution more enthralling.

And this one is only slightly funny in that it's obvious the joker doesn't even know the theory he's joking about about and fails too hard. :/

I could have used something in this thread for my essay...
I wasted a lot of time ranting about homosexuality instead.
I haven't slept yet, and I have class in two hours.
Kill me.

I meant more like possible misconceptions about evolution having a goal (f.ex the fish needs to get out of the water), one species suddenly turning into another without gradual change and/or a lot of generations between forms, evolution being intentional - and so on. I assume such misunderstandings form the shaky foundations of a lot of creationist humour.

edit :

Perhaps not exactly brilliantly funny, but at least it's based on a more accurate observation :

You can not deconstruct God, because God is not made of parts.
