My mom and step dad used to say all the time, in cheesy French accents," Come on, one more mint? it is wafer thin.."

this is a line from Monty Python, the meaning of life.

What jokes have stuck with you?

Every time someone uses a phrase like "general Idea" or "major headache", I salute and say " General Idea" etc.
I got it off the sit com "How I met your mother"

What about you guys?

My husband and I quote Chicken Run. "I don't WANT to be a pie!" & "What flaaavor is it?" "Ahpple." come up quite a bit.

We also mock Genji's "I NEED HEALING" whenever somebody gets minorly injured.

SAME! My wife and I will sometimes take the inflection of "Haaaaave you met Ted?" and apply it to other contexts like dropping one of our cats on each other ("Haaaaave you met Aeris?")

"I Liked The Part Where He Shot The Guy" -- this was the title of a blog post on Penny Arcade roughly ten million years ago, written by Gabe about the movie Equilibrium. My friend and I use it to convey generally positive feelings about action movies.

Most aren't jokes (so much as me being annoying), but I hear a lot of video gaming peripherally and I'm also a terrible quote parrot if I hear the same soundbite too often. The one that's stuck with me the longest is whenever a webcomic I like comes back from hiatus I will often comment "It's like Christmas!", and I'm saying it in Roland's voice from Borderlands.

Other than that, I don't THINK I tend to repeat jokes from movies and stuff unless we're having a quote-off. I prefer any cringe-worthy puns I can think of in the moment.



Ughhghhghh, let me tell you how many "Major" jokes I have pretended to laugh about. LET ME TELL YOU TRAVIS. IT IS A NUMBER MORE THAN SEVERAL.

(Though the first dog I get is going to be named "Ursa" because there are simply opportunities you have to take in life.)

HaHa! I guess you would I know that get's old. My wife works as a teacher, and she had a brother and sister in her class with the last name Bell, and I swear I am not making this up, the boy's name was Blue, and the Girl's name was Liberty.

Sometimes I'll say "It's a Moo point"
"It's like a cow's opinion. It doesn't matter."
(From Friends)

Lately, I've found myself wandering into the kitchen muttering "Wizard needs food badly!" I played the new Gauntlet game about four years ago, so I'm not sure why that one festered under the surface for so long, but it's lodged in my head now.

Also works as "Needs coffee badly!"

I wouldn't point to any specific joke (to many to count, I tend to make pun do to my anxiety issues).

But I have a very specific dark, yet low key sense of humor. It's not going to be gallows humor really, but it's fairly cynical.

Not really sure how to describe it. Humor mixed with sadness.

How about an example?:

Setting: French Revolution Paris
Context: Execution by guillotine.
MC: "I'm a pretty little dutch girl as pretty as can be, with my cotton cap and my little wooden shoes."

In other words, the MC serves as an offset for an otherwise depressing setting.

Jokes about glue stick with me

I love short jokes. Not the ones about short people specifically, but the quick one two punches. I can't think of any good ones, so here's a bad one:

My bicycle keeps falling over. I think it's 2 tired.

Ahahaha, totally seconding this!! Chicken Run is such a classic. We do the "I don't want to be a pie" one, too, and also "Mrs. Tweedy, the chickens are revolting!!" "Finally, something we agree on."

My family is definitely big on quoting movies in general— besides Chicken Run, Independence Day is one of our favorites (we quote the speech in that one as humor whenever we need some inspiration HA). We also quote Megamind ("Good luck on your date!" "I will!" "That doesn't even make sense!" "I know!") and O Brother, Where Art Thou ("I am the paterfamilias!") endlessly. I bet we could act those movies out from beginning to end.

Megamind is one of my favorite movies of its sort. Underrated gem.

Frequently referenced media references around here include Josh and the Big Wall's French Peas, the Last Saskatchewan Pirate (which I do have memorized and if you get J and I a little drunk, you can convince us to sing it), Albuquerque and The Saga Begins by Weird Al, and the Star Wars prequels, just... just constantly. Sand? I hate sand! I killed them! I killed them all!

Otherwise my humor is... well, generally puns. Dad humor. What do you call a cow with only two legs? LEAN BEEF. What do you call a cow with no legs? GROUND BEEF. What do you call a deer with no eyes? NO-EYE-DEER!

I also get a kick out of very dry, sarcastic, complete overstatement. I find a good judge of someone's sense of humor to be "what are your favorite cards against humanity cards?"

Mine happen to include such gems as "bees?" "The inevitable heat death of the universe." "The burning heat of a thousand suns." "YOU MUST CONSTRUCT ADDITIONAL PYLONS."

...this by the way, is entirely why I don't have a humorous comic. I don't do gross so much as god-like grandeur, which is part of my "slowly attempting to become an actual saint or goddess or good fairy" schitick. I WILL, however, deviate into 12-year-old-boy sex jokes, ei: that's what she said. If I do "your mom", it'll go into "your face's mom!" "your mom's face's mom!" and probably deteriorate into animal noises.

Over the top grandiose, puns and saying "bees?" with the question mark at the end.

All you have to do to make my entire family fall over laughing is say, "bees?" I'm the only one who's seen the Wicker Man. It's the pronunciation of the question mark.

My wife had a funny "Pain Scale" when she was in the hospital, and # 4 was "Bees?"

#5 was "BEES!"

More bad jokes:

What did Batman say to Robin before they jumped in the Batmobile?


"Robin, jump in the Batmobile!"

My two favorites.
