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..

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

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

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

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

All both of em eh?

[-] [email protected] 27 points 1 month ago

The elevendon was funny the rest wasn't :(

Brevity is the soul of wit

[-] [email protected] 6 points 1 month 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'd make. Most of the time, I'm only making myself chuckle.

[-] [email protected] 39 points 1 month ago

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

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

[-] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

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

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

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

Me and my cousin have 2 ongoing bits.

[-] [email protected] 10 points 1 month ago

Me and my three cousins have four ongoing bits.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

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

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

Your cousin's a classy lady.

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

[-] [email protected] 4 points 1 month 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 couple of friends who do the exact same thing .... but it isn't funny or humorous

[-] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago

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

Story of my life..

Knowing your audience is important

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.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

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

My favourite actor is Alan Threedyk.
