4) NSFW is okay, within reasonJust remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com. NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].

“Worst” by whatever measure you like.

You don’t understand. This was actually the first joke, so while it may not be funny to us, it was hilarious to the people who first heard it, and all other humor ultimately derived from this one joke

Maybe it got hit by a car and the "other side" is the afterlife

"He stands on a leaf and waits until Autumn." (Punchline to a joke I read in grade 3 from the 70's.)

[–] Nibodhika@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Is an elephant involved? I think I know this one but had completely forgotten about it until I read this.

[–] Rocketpoweredgorilla@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Yup. The joke spoiler..How does an elephant get down from a tree?

It's such an incredibly lame joke that it's still burned into my brain nearly 5 decades later.

[–] maxthemummer@lemmus.org 5 points 1 week ago

What are you crying about, I gotta walk out of here alone?

[–] crystalmathadept@lemmy.zip 5 points 1 week ago

So I thought to myself, is that how she died?

[–] yermaw@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

And thats why cornflakes are better than cheerios.

  • overheard in the playground around 30 years ago and remains unexplained to this day. The kid would not repeat the joke for me. It remains the object of largest difference between importance and intrigue in my head.

Heard this one as a "spooky ghost story" around the campfire at a summer camp when I was 11 and it was the funniest thing I had ever heard.

[–] lost_faith@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 week ago

You take your foot off its head

[–] Zozano@aussie.zone 4 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

I feel like I need to qualify that I understand this is where I write the punchline to a joke, and that I am not accientally typing this into a search engine.
