Unjokes and Anti-humour (The Police, quote, youtube)

Guybrush · 04-30-2009, 05:23 AM

Let's celebrate one of the lazier forms of humour, those drab jokes that often don't even try to be funny. I'm talking about anti-humour, the kind of "fun" which is set up as a joke, then often becomes anti-climactic as the punch line is missing or just not funny. (Sometimes, they still manage to be hilarious, but let's not think too much about that.)

Example : Why did the chicken cross the road? To get to the other side.

Here's one :

What did the little boy with no arms and legs get for christmas?

.. cancer.

What do you call a guy with no arms and legs floating in the middle of the ocean?

What's better than 40 dead babies in a tree?

1 dead baby in 40 trees!

I think I'm doing it right...

Want to hear a dirty joke?

The pig fell in the mud.

kfreek, you're not getting it quite right. Most unjokes are fairly boring and lack a real punchline.

Like .. How do you get an elephant into a fridge? You open the door, pick up the elephant, stick it in the fridge and then close it.

There you go, anti-humour!

Your mother is so fat - she could get diabetes.
