Of all the jokes in the thread so far, this is by far the best ^^^ How long was the Edinburgh fringe? How many comedians attended? and finally how many shows did they put on? And after all that the best joke was "I'm not a fan of the new pound coin, but then again, I hate all change". I am so pleased I decided not to waste my money.

You can't parcel comedy into discrete units, and you can't judge the gag without the context it was told in. http://gormano.blogspot.co.uk/2017/08/ch-ch-ch-changes.html?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=facebook&m=1 Link to comment https://dcfcfans.uk/topic/27013-new-joke-thread-trigger-alert-may-offend-if-you-want-it-to/#findComment-1310070 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Time Vine is an exception and his thing is he goes for a one liner after another and you are battered into submisison. I like stand up but you have to be there to appreciate it.

Guest Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 Not exactly new but I've always liked the "What's the difference" jokes from decades ago which you have to work out yourself. Can remember only three though first one is Q. what's the difference between a bad marksman and a constipated owl. A. One shoots but cannot hit and the other........
