Give me your "rectum, damn near killed 'em" jokes!
February 28, 2012 9:33 AM Subscribe
In the spirit of "rectum, damn near killed 'em!", what are other words that can be followed with a joke/punchline?
Examples include "liquor? I hardly knew her!"
and my personal favorite: "Old Testament? Was there another??"
If possible, I'd love to know the sources of these jokes.

"Do you have a tissue?"
"Tissue? I don't even know you!"
And a ton of knock knock jokes...."Olive you", "Madam foot's stuck in the door", and "Orange you glad I didn't say banana?" might be along the lines of what you're looking for.

Many towns in New England have female names, so when one passes a sign that says, for example, "Entering Beverly", it is required by law that any 20-something male in the car has to say "Not if Beverly has anything to say about it!"
There's even a comedian who has a song called "Entering Marion", which I'm sure you can find on the YouTubes. It's about as funny as you'd imagine it is.

With "er" jokes, I like them as nonsensical as possible. I remember flipping through the channels with a friend, making dumb jokes any time anyone on the TV said any word ending in "er". We finally had to stop after we collapsed in laughter when we switched to a silent vote count on C-SPAN and one of us said, "Senator?! I hardly know her!" I think that is when the rest of our friends left the room.

Anything ending in way (expressway, entryway, walkway, jetway) can be turned into a variant on the henway joke.
This is a little more elaborate stuff, but you might be interested in this thread, because these jokes have a similar effect of duping/confusing the listener.
I tend to think of this stuff as "Dad humor" because my dad makes these jokes all the time - "trying to quit" is a favorite with him. Two more that are handy in any debate or argument:
"On the one hand, [whatever, whatever, whatever]. And on the other hand, you have five fingers."
"You have a point. But if you comb your hair right, you can cover it up."

I am overly fond of jokes that riff off the classic "dickfer" joke, where you get someone to ask you, "What's a dickfer" and you reply, "Fer fuckin', stupid!" Such as when discussing the skin healing ointment Aquaphor, and I somehow manage to get someone to ask me, "What's Aquaphor?" Depending on my mood and the crowd, the answer is either "For drinkin', stupid!" or "For fuckin', stupid!" You may have to have a very special sort of brain for this to be at all funny.
There's a terrible horrible no-good very bad joke in one of Stephen King's Dark Tower books where Eddie says, "I metaphor sex, but she slapped me." Sooo bad, and yet sooo irresistable to the sort of punsters I spend my time with.
"Miso" is a frequently-abused word, as well, though the joke (that it sounds like "Me so," as in, "Me so horny!" or "Me so hungry!") is based on a stereotype that many find more offensive than funny.

My go-to groaner is to say "Bless you" whenever anyone says the word "issues".
Usage:
"My cat has litterbox issues."
Bless you!
...because 'issues' sounds like a sneeze. It usually works for a 'bless your heart'-type meaning as well.

Also, in Shakespearean English, tupperware would have been a well-formed question. (Answer: "For fuck's sake, not on the couch.") Oh, for a time machine.

Not a pun, but in the same vein, and you can tag anything vaguely euphemistic with it:
"Okay, so let's plan on having lunch, then going to town."
"Sure. And after that, let's take the car into the city!"
"Do you want to drop the kids off at the pool?"
"Sure. And afterwards I could take Bob and Suzie to their swim lesson."
And the reversal:
"Let's get nasty."
"Yeah -- and afterwards, we can have sex!
(I've grown to rely on these. If anyone has a name/point of reference/origin in Airplane for this joke, I'd appreciate it... )

I remember hearing this one in the UK:
"I went to a rough school."
"Eton?"
"Damn nearly."

I have picked up on these ones from "How I Met Your Mother". Of course, they're probably from somewhere else before that.
