[-] [email protected] 32 points 19 hours ago

[-] [email protected] 9 points 18 hours ago

I'm a big fan! My favorite song of yours is Sweating Magazines.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 9 hours ago

They're alright. Leadalica are better, tho. "Two" is a masterpiece.

[-] [email protected] 11 points 17 hours ago

I prefer to be more realistic, like House of 999 Corpses and Medium Speed Car.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 10 hours ago

Yeah, that's pretty good, but my film House of 998 Corpses and 1 Live Orange Cat is sure to be a hit

I have a work acquaintance who does this in the most unfunny way. You could say you injured your Achilles tendon, and he'd reply he has an Achilles elevendon, and it's made out of steel and never hurts..

The elevendon was funny the rest wasn't :(

[-] [email protected] 14 points 19 hours ago

Brevity is the soul of wit

[-] [email protected] 5 points 17 hours ago

Yes but it wouldn't be funny if they just said "Heh, elevendon". It need a delivery sandwich. Maybe there's a funnier sandwich though.

"You should get the latest upgrade. (Point down. Pause for effect).... Elevendon."

This sounds like a joke I have with two of my work acquaintances

[-] [email protected] 7 points 20 hours ago

You're not going to believe this but a third one joined us at my work.

[-] [email protected] 8 points 22 hours ago

All both of em eh?

[-] [email protected] 18 points 22 hours ago

idk i might find that pretty funny

This sounds like a joke I'd make. Most of the time, I'm only making myself chuckle.

[-] [email protected] 37 points 1 day ago

That joke reminds me of a full-length Netflix comedy special I did with my whole family…

That's pretty good, but I prefer The Aristocratter

[-] [email protected] 15 points 1 day ago

We call that banter (also a personality trait) "Topper".

[-] [email protected] 12 points 23 hours ago

Me and my cousin have 2 ongoing bits.

[-] [email protected] 10 points 23 hours ago

Me and my three cousins have four ongoing bits.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 9 hours ago

Your cousin's a classy lady.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 19 hours ago

Amongst my cousins and bits ongoing are fear, surprise, and an almost fanatic support of Pope Tim Minchin

[-] [email protected] 8 points 1 day ago

I have a couple of friends who do the exact same thing .... but it isn't funny or humorous

[-] [email protected] 2 points 9 hours ago

I have three friends who do the same thing but it's funny and humorous!

[-] [email protected] 7 points 23 hours ago

It's funnier during the millisecond it's in my head.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 19 hours ago

Story of my life..

[-] [email protected] 4 points 23 hours ago

Knowing your audience is important

[-] [email protected] 5 points 23 hours ago

I've given up in telling them any new information at this point.

The funny thing is that they're imagination had dried up and they can't give to share anything new anymore. We're older so as the years go by, it's getting to the point where they start recommending things they already recommended years ago.
