Sadly, it isn't a John Travolta penis joke. (Google is good, though.) http://www.theage.com.au/news/people/khaki...8709615896.html I blame him for encouraging her. |

I don't know why John Travolta was even mentioned in this thread. The joke has nothing to do with him whatsoever. |

/vote blatant attempt by Eral to up her "filth rating" I'm going to go with vaginas. This is a true story that happened to me last week. My mum has a friend who is hopeless with computers and a dog owner, and I was going round to my mum's (who has two black cats that I adore) when the friend was still there. Anyway my mum "persuaded" me against my wishes to give this friend lessons in how to use a computer. So I go round, and her dog greets me and starts sniffing me when the friend says to me, "You're a pussy man aren't you?" |

Nothing wrong with providing a link it can be provide context for a thread. It's a pretty funny joke and kinda a cute insight into the couples private life but on the other hand it falls under TMI for my taste. I can only think of a punchline for one penis joke: "Welcome to Jamaica, Mon. Have a Nice Day!" but the punchline alone is making me laugh. I'm voting for penis jokes. The only vagina punchline I can remember is Krazy's which is pretty funny but not as funny to me. :D Edit: Sorry can't vote. I don't see a choice that matches my attitude toward penis jokes. Although the above punchline does have a size envy aspect which could support choice number 5. |

I'm not really that sure one area of jokes is necessarily better than another. All I know is I like 'em all, and I don't really care how smutty, black or even plain sick they are as long as they are good. |

:lol: Sadly, no. Despite the facts that I swear like a trooper, am comfortable watching "Queer as Folk", will discuss bodily functions without turning a hair and did not spend my youth waiting for Mr.Right as I thought he wasa figment of the Establishment's imagination , I appear to be irremedially G-rated when it comes to jokes. I just don't find them funny. This is research. Regullus, I am deeply saddened to have provided a poll without all options covered. I humbly apologise. Perhaps I should have added "It is not the penis that is funny, it's the way you tell it"? I did forget about boob and blonde jokes, Liz. But they couldn't possibly be funnier than penis or vagina jokes, could they?

Maybe if it's about a dumb blonde that has a boob job? Or how about this one. A dumb blonde and a brunette were on an elevator when a good looking guy came on. The only problem was he had VERY bad dandruff. When he got off the elevator, the brunette turned to the blonde and said, "He was hot, but he needed some Head and Shoulders." To which the blonde replied, "How do you give shoulders?" :lol: :lol: |

If not for the fact that one of my sisters is blonde and so are two of my closest friends, and I am unable to laugh at blonde jokes out of solidarity, and am also handicapped by having inherited my mother's anti-dirty joke genes: I would say that is a very funny one.

Ah, now that I have time for a more serious and elaborate answer.... I demand a lot from a joke. The Irwin matter falls short (har!) on a number of counts: A. I could have been very happy without the image of a naked Steve Irwin insinuated in my head. So thanks for that. B. The less I have to know about the sex lives of celebrities, dead or alive, the happier I'll be. Unless I find them attractive, and there's a video. Or I think I can milk it for something to write about. (Hmm....) C. It's not even a good joke. Penis size. Big whoop (har!). Humour is complicated. I find all kinds of things funny, from playful to dark, and from squeaky-clean to filthy. At the same time, I have really high standards about what I'd deem the treatment of hurtful content of a joke. In the novel Stranger in a Strange Land, Robert Heinlein has his protagonist observe that all humour stems from something being wrong in some way. And if you think about it, everything from puns to slapstick to the sickest dead baby joke stems from that potential. I think the blackest humour works best when it comes from a sympathetic place, because laughing at something hurtful allows us to examine the pain from an angle. (Incidentally, also why the most powerful political commentators are comedians.) There's this comic, Sean Collins (Canadian, but now living and performing in England), who tells hysterically funny stories about his drug days, stories that, no matter how embellished for effect, must have at times been terrifying to live through. Prison rape jokes are a topic that is normally, for me, firmly in the "not funny" camp. Sean Collins does a bit where he asks an audience member, "If you were sent to jail, do you think you'd be raped?" and follows up the response like so (I paraphrase, of course): They always say something like, "No, I'd fight them off." But trust me, I've been to prison, and you would be. When you're in the shower and six guys surround you... well... I was down on my knees soaping them up so it wouldn't hurt.... And it's wrenching, but it's funny. Not because OMG forced anal sex LOL, but because there's actually a point to the story. These are things that really happen to real people, and the joke forces the audience to stop and think about that, and about why it's so often considered something to laugh at. Sometimes humour works precisely because it makes you uncomfortable, shakes your world view a little. Here's Sean Collins doing some of his other (less controversial) material: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=83LBSPzzOLw |

I don't disagree with what Bex wrote, actually quite a thoughtful treatise on the subject but I find that type of humor to be somewhat contrived in most cases, it's become a style and seems marketed. I've never even heard of Sean Williams but I'm perfectly convinced he is an exception. Also, I find myself increasingly bored with the privileged, fortunate or just lucky people who descend into addiction, ruin their lives and those around them, get help for their addictions and then write confessional memoirs, use it as a type of schtick, then are lauded as some type of inspiration . Again, it strikes me as another marketing device which is what it is. As one gets older one does get a tad cynical. Elizabeth Wurtzel I was posting links to both Wurtzel and Frey as two examples of the whiny confessional but as I was reading Wurtzel's wiki I discovered she had a September 11 controversy attached to her which I missed at the time and in reading the full quote I actually find her observation in the October interview not without self deprecating charm. Onto Frey: James Frey Back to jokes, the controversial joke when well done is very good because it exposes truths thru humor but sadly, it's become in many cases an affected and cynical device. On the whole, I prefer the good natured joke above all but I'm not particularly a joke person. |

I actually enjoyed James Frey's first book (found the sequel only so-so), but somehow missed the entire "true" memoir aspect (read it at least a year before he starting getting all the Oprah-related attention) and thought it was a pretty good gonzo novel, inspired by actual events (as opposed to an accurate retelling). Which is supposedly how he originally pitched it to publishers, but the only one who showed a hint of interest said it would have to be marketed as the gospel truth if it was going to sell. (Ah, marketing.) Anyway, when I was reading A Million Little Pieces, I liked the story, but it was far too reliant on Dickensian plot devices and coincidence and convenience to ever come across as real. But it's possible that I'm more informed about both drug culture and literary conventions than the average member of Oprah's book club. Just maybe. I know exactly what Reg means about so much controversial humour being cynical and contrived purely for shock effect. That's what I'm driving at about how it only works for me when it comes from a more thoughtful or sympathetic perspective. And a lot of that only comes through in the delivery. Another favorite comedian of mine is the late Mitch Hedberg, and I'd call a lot of his material inspired non-sequiters. Nothing remotely mean-spirited to it, just bizarre observation and speculation. There's a local guy doing the circuit of being a regular opening act in the comedy clubs here who does work in a similar vein, and I think he's brilliant. I'd love to see him go places. "Those bugs chose the wrong religion." |

I am rather proud of my sense of humor. There are some people who think that it's funny to spray paint a giant penis in the quad at their high school (this happened when I was there). Then there are other people, like me, who find it funny when a person gets out of his seat in the middle of lecture and draws a large penis on the board. Now I never did this, but I did try to get someone to do it. He wanted to copy my German homework, so I wanted him to work for it. Most of my suggestions were far too outlandish for him (the aforementioned penis plot, but also others involving throwing his backpack across the classroom in the middle of lecture). We settled on him raising his hand during lecture and, when called upon, saying, "Mr. Facer, you're bald." I guess the humor I like to employ relies on the bewildered reactions from others. It's similar to "shock" comedy, but relies more on the absurd than the vulgar. |

Rita Rudner. An inspired comedian. I enjoy a good satire myself. I watched "Borat!": and while I really like the way Cohen pushes the envelope, and I laughed all the way through, the scenes where he stooges unsuspecting people made me very uncomfortable. The rodeo scene is a classic: the song is hilarious, but the reactions of the crowd made me horribly concerned for the future of the world.

(I went to the same school as Sacha Baron Cohen, which by the way seems to be a breeding ground for comedians, including Matt Lucas (from Little Britain) and David Baddiel.) But meh, I've seen enough Borat, and by the end of the TV series I was thoroughly bored with Ali G and Borat and haven't seen the film. |

I was surprised that so many people didn't recognise him. I thought the film would be more of the same: but I was pleasantly surprised by the freshness of the humour. This could be due to a relative drought of Cohen on Australian screens for the last little while. I once saw Borat interviewing protestors at a fox hunt (and nearly getting lynched - he draws that response, doesn't he?) and I thought it was one of the funniest things since the fish-slapping dance, and the parrot sketch. It's very audacious humour. Norman Gunston(Gary MacDonald) pioneered that style of comedy in the 70's. Damn he was funny. It was excruiciating to watch: Mick Jagger trying to figure out what the hell was going on is a vivid memory for me. |

Ok that's good to know, but I still doubt I'll see it. Probably because I was put off by his first (Ali G) film which was pants. I still remember when he first appeared late night on Channel 4, which was funny. |
