Is this a bad joke or what?

I made up this joke, trying to come up with the worst one I could. I'm not sure how awful it is, but I think I did a decent job. Here it goes:

A scientist genetically engineers a donkey made entirely out of pepperoni pizza. He holds a press conference to unveil his magnificent creation. Unfortunately, a few moments after the curtain covering the creature's cage is lifted, grease from the animal's cheesy, pepperoni-encrusted hyde drips down onto faulty wiring beneath the stage. Suddenly, the donkey starts to catch fire. Just as the scientist is about to speak, someone notices the donkey on fire, blurting out, "That's one hot pizza ass!"

At least it didn't involve a golfer and a talking magical frog

The punch line brings to mind Ally's popearoni story.

Are convoluted scenarios with a punning punchline ever funny?

N. (nickdastoor), Tuesday, 2 December 2003 23:17 (twenty-one years ago)

Probably not. But not-funny was what he was aiming for.

on his way to work everyday, a man passes by his local fruit vendor and purchases an apple. this day being much like any other, the man is about to take a second bite into his recently aquired apple when, out of the corner of his eye, he notices what appears to be a worm inside his apple! disgusted, he hurriedly rushes to return his produce to the seller (and not without complaint!) when he hears an odd, high-pitched noise, seemingly emanating from inside the fruit! he instinctively brings the apple towards his ear, and is startled to find himself greeted with a "hello", in that same distinct tone! nervous and giddy, he examines the apple and comes to the quick conclusion that he has discovered a TALKING WORM!

"my god!", says the man, "you... you can talk!!" "yup", the worm replies, "i sure can". "d-d-do you have a name?", the now visibly sweating man asks. "the name's 'motor'", answers the worm. "anything else you wanna know?". the man carefully removes the worm from his temporary home, gently places him in his coat pocket just above his right breast, and rushes home, his mind racing with the possibilities of his astounding discovery.

as genteelly as possible in his current state of heart pounding excitement, the man places motor inside his new hastily-constructed habitat (a matchbox lined with tissue paper, to be precise). he runs to his bedroom, grabs the yellow pages and, in what appears to be an almost simultaneous action, he dials the number of the local circus. "a talking worm!" he thinks to himself. "now this they've never seen! this is the break i've been waiting for my whole life! i'm gonna be rich!". after convincing the circus manager he's got the suprise act of a lifetime (a feat aided, in part, by a five-figure deposit), the manager grants him the opening spot in the next show, which happens to be next thursday's season-opening gala performance.

after what seems an interminable wait, thursday arrives! after hours of rehearsal with motor (his vocabulary having proven as extensive as that of a university graduate), the man's ready to put the little guy up there, and amaze the world.

the curtain is raised and the man steps into the center ring. the heat of the spotlight does not go unnoticed whilst the man brings the matchbox towards the microphone, slowly removing the cover... revealing... NOTHING! motor isn't there! frantically, the man searches his pockets - nothing! his dressing room - nothing! his car - nothing! motor has disappeared!!


about 18 months later, a figure of public ridicule, his bank account empty, his job lost, his life ruined, the man is eventually reduced to living the life of a bum - his home a cardboard shack (ironically not unlike a human-sized version of the home he offered to the worm that was to make him a millionaire). begging for food, the man is one day casually tossed a bruised apple by a passerby. the man is about to take his second bite of the apple, when he hears a once-familiar sound! yes, a fainter version of that same pitch he first heard what now seems a lifetime ago! is it an hallucination? was he going mad? the man brought the apple to his face, and, right before his peering eyes - by george!- out bored motor!

My favorite bad jokes:

Q: What does an elephant use for a tampon?
A: A sheep.

Q: How do you catch a bear?
A: Dig a pit in the middle of the woods, fill it with ashes, and line the edges with peas. When a bear comes by to take a pea, kick it in the ash hole.

Here's another one:

Q:How many elephants does it take to screw in a light bulb?
A:Elephants can't fit inside light bulbs, dummy!

ahem.

Back in the 1830s, there was a family with one son and four daughters. The son desperately wanted to prove himself to be a great artistic talent. And his doting parents tried to encourage his dreams.
He started out trying to be a musician. And his parents supported his attempts, even though it became clear he had no talent in this area.
Soon, he grew bored with music and moved onto acting.
As he gave up on music, his sisters gave it a go, but they too became bored with it.
His parents supported his attempts at acting, even though it became clear he had no talent in this area.
Soon, he grew bored with acting and moved onto writing stories.
As he gave up on acting, his sisters gave it a go, but they too became bored with it.
His parents supported his attempts at writing stories, even though it became clear he had no talent in this area.
Soon, he grew bored with acting and moved onto paiting.
As he gave up on writing, his sisters gave it a go, and soon discovered that they not only enjoyed it, but had a knack for it.
So the three sisters kept writing stories while their pretentious, talentless brother repeatedly tried and failed at every possible artform.
And the sisters names? Charlotte, Emily and Agatha....Bronté.
And now you know the rest of the story.

Custos's patented hambone punchline: And whenever the Jealous, Talentless brother saw one of his sister novels on sale, he would -- very Morrisseyishly -- put the back of his hand on his forehead and intone pompously "Et Tu, Bronté?"

A documentary director was interviewing the mother superior of an nunnery about her experiences during world war two.
"First the Germans came, and they raped all the nuns...except sister mathilda. Then italians came, and they raped all the nuns...except sister mathilda. Then the Americans came, and they raped all the nuns...except sister mathilda...."
"Wait, wait, wait...why was sister mathilda never raped?"
"Well, she's not into that sort of thing."

The best pitcher in the major leagues, Melvin Famey, manages to beat his longstanding problem of alcoholism, rehabs, recovers, and hurls his Dodgers into the World Series virtually singlehandedly; 32 wins, 1.95 ERA, 240 K's, the whole thing. (Little does anyone know: with all this pressure, he's gone back to hitting the bottle in the clubhouse between innings.) But of course he can only pitch every other game (Iron Man!), so the series is all knotted up at 3 games apiece heading into the deciding game.

Famey's on fire, pitches a shutout two-hitter for nine innings; sadly, so does the opposing moundsman (we'll call him Pedro M.). Pedro comes out for the top of the 10th--Grady Little still managing here--and sets the Dodgers down one two three. So out comes Melvin, who at this point is pretty clearly soused, weaving, slurring, etc. His catcher's all like "Are you okay?" and Melvin's like "Screw you, get behind the plate, watch this shit." He strikes out the first two batters on six pitches, still throwing 95 mph, it's beautiful.

Then things get ugly: he hits two batters in a row, walks the third, and, natch, walks the fourth too. Red Sox win the series for the first time in whenever, huge parade, etc. They interview Pedro after the game: "What do you think happened to Melvin in the 10th inning?"

He replies, "It was the beer that made Mel Famey walk us."
