Re: jokes you\'ve made IRL that flopped
[ QUOTE ]
For a lifelong class clown like myself, I am not sure I can even grasp how many of my jokes have bombed. I do stand up, and some of it is intentionally very corny and I like to tell it at drunken parties. Usually the following joke gets a few laughs, but in a class of mine the other day where upon hearing I am a jokester it was requested I make a joke, it got nothing: "When I was a kid I went out to Missouri, visiting my great grandparents. When I was there I saw a caterpillar museum, which seemed really crazy to me. I actually liked it a lot though, and I tried to go back a few years later, but it had turned into a butterfly museum." UGGh Class of about 20 mostly just looked away, and one said "you seriously do stand up?" THIS guy is funny [/ QUOTE ] How is stand-up going, though? Do you do open mic nite stuff or paying gigs? I'm interested enough for an 'ask me about stand-up thread', if you haven't already.

Re: jokes you\'ve made IRL that flopped
I'm on a date at the PNE (carnival style thing here in Vancouver) and we are in line for the roller coaster and some security guys walk by looking pretty touch. it's almost dark and they are all wearing shades.
She tells me she would never [censored] with any guy that wore sunglasses at night. So I tell her she's a wimp for being afraid of Corey Hart. She gives me the blank look that tells me I'm not interested in her anymore. edited to fix the joke cause I'm dumb

[ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] I know I've bombed some jokes in my day, but luckily I and pretty much everyone around forgets them once I get one right. I'm sure I'll bomb at least one or two this weekend, so will update. Also, I think classrooms are a bad place to judge whether or not a joke bombs. For instance, one of the best jokes I've ever heard would probably be considered a "bomb" based on response. A professor had missed the last class for unknown reasons and it turned out she had gone to the doctor and found out she was pregnant. The next class she put a picture of the ultrasound on the projector and my friend blurted out "That baby looks nothing like me." HI-larious, but very little laughter. [/ QUOTE ] this joke was A+ [/ QUOTE ] Woulda laughed my ass off.... this is great. I wonder if it would have been more or less awkward if the professor was male? [/ QUOTE ] lol?

Re: jokes you\'ve made IRL that flopped
I have a friend who I've known since I was young, she's like a sister to me. She had just started dating a guy named taylor...who recently broke up with his girlfriend, who was also in our group of friends. One night we were out having drinks and me, my sister-friend, and the ex girlfriend were all at the table.
Somehow the topic of ceiling mirrors came up and I said they would be awesome. My sister-friend said "yea of course you'd like it, then the guy could look up and see everything." To which I responded "ohhh so now I know you ride on top of Taylor when you have sex"...the ex girlfriend did not like that at all and there was a long long awkward silence. Oops!

Please keep posting your humor.
