Every time I hear this one I wanna break the product in half and walk away😭

I can only imagine they have the most repetitive, robotic lives.

Working hard or hardly working?

More of a fart fella

What.... I like that one. Sorry.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Just make sure you find and stick close to the other people at your job who think it's funny.

"Watching porn at work, so both."

Three moles were digging a tunnel. One of the moles farts. The next mole says, "smells like rutabagas". The next mole says, "smells like carrots".

After a long pause, the first mole turns to the last mole that has not spoken yet and asks what they smell.

The last mole says "molasses" and gets back to digging.

I read this joke when I was maybe 13 and I never understood it. More than a decade later I was randomly driving around and I remembered this joke and got it.

I have been unfortunate enough to hear various racist and/or homophobic jokes over the years, so probably one of them

To a colleague arriving 10 mins late: "Afternoon."

To a colleague arriving 10 mins early: "Shat the bed?"

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

I feel like if I shat the bed, I'd be late instead of early.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Agreed πŸ’―, this is not amusing.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

As someone who works the later shifts, it took me a while to figure out what was wrong with "afternoon". It's been so long since someone has said good morning to me at work

Maybe just because we don't understand it, but the ancient Sumerian bar joke:

A dog entered into a tavern and said, 'I cannot see anything. I shall open this one.'

The "I have a [topic] joke, but [topical reason why it wouldn't land or you wouldn't get it]" template

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

All of those trite reddit-tier quips that people repeat like they're filling out a template. Like

Person 1: such and such thing is shit

Person 2: that's an insult to shit!

I gotta figure they don't even find it funny themselves but just do it out of obligation. Hopefully now that AI is replacing all the commenters the conversation will become less robotic.

Some chowder head in the 80s said "you've never seen me and batman in the same room at the same time" and now we're all paying for it. "I'd call them a removed but at least those have warmth and depth"

I also choose this guy's overused jokes.

A man went to a shop and they had a shovel.

It's a toss-up between Elon Musk and people saying "WHAT?!" when I tell them I'm hearing impaired.

The β€œwe are not the same” meme. I understand the point, it’s just not funny. It’s cringey as hell.
