It's over, and unfortunatly I just heard about it. It still contains some of the top jokes, overall and per country.

A dog went to a telegram office, took out a blank form and wrote:
“Woof. Woof. Woof. Woof. Woof. Woof. Woof. Woof. Woof.”
The clerk examined the paper and politely told the dog: “There are only nine words here. You could send another ‘Woof’ for the same price.”
“But,” the dog replied, “that would make no sense at all.”

A couple of New Jersey hunters are out in the woods when one of them falls to the ground. He doesn't seem to be breathing, his eyes are rolled back in his head. The other guy whips out his cell phone and calls the emergency services. He gasps to the operator: “My friend is dead! What can I do?” The operator, in a calm soothing voice says: “Just take it easy. I can help. First, let's make sure he's dead.” There is a silence, then a shot is heard. The guy's voice comes back on the line. He says: “OK, now what?"

They would be better in a film than in text!

I thought the "number one" joke was stupid. Most of the rest of them, too, but not all.

They're ok, though not laugh out loud funny. More like a very small "heh", in the mind.

God is the "0wnage". Plain and Simple.

The fact is that they've all circled the internet 500 times, thus the good ones aren't funny because you've heard them before, and the ones you haven't heard are just stupid (Which is probably why you haven't heard them.)

I probably laughed when I heard this the first time:

Quote:

Two weasels are sitting on a bar stool. One starts to insult the other one. He screams, "I slept with your mother!" The bar gets quiet as everyone listens to see what the other weasel will do. The first again yells, "I SLEPT WITH YOUR MOTHER!" The other says, "Go home dad you’re drunk."


Although I don't remember them being weasels. Why weasels anyway? It has no bearing on the joke, and is just misleading. Instead of laughing at the end, you think, "...Wait, why the weasels?"

Yah, after researching the "best" jokes for over a year, you'd think the number one joke would actually make me laugh....

Or maybe these scientists measure how "funny" a joke is by seeing how turned on that section of the brain gets when someone hears it.


"To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public." -- Theodore Roosevelt (1918)

"The danger to political dissent is acute where the Government attempts to act under so vague a concept as the power to protect "domestic security." Given the difficulty of defining the domestic security interest, the danger of abuse in acting to protect that interest becomes apparent. --U.S. Supreme Court decision (407 U.S. 297 (1972)

They discovered the "best" joke by huaving the website up, letting people vote on it. Look around the website a bit, it does explain it.
