You know those kinds of jokes that are clever only the first time you hear them? Then everyone repeats them and the humor value erodes very quickly. They just don’t hold up.
My two candidates:
- “There are 10 kinds of people, those who understand binary and those who don’t.” (Being a programmer, people will occasionally feed me this one. Perhaps they think somehow that I haven’t heard it and will be amused.)
- Most variations on “LeBron James only has 75 cents.”
What about you, dear readers? Any jokes you hated hearing more than once or twice?
Variation on the theme: movie characters getting hit in the nuts so they can mug up their funny pain-face. It’s lazy and not funny.
“Are you working hard or hardly working?” Yuk, yuk, yuk. I bet it took you allllll day to come up with that one.
token characters. nerdy asian, only guy, ugly nice duckling/pretty bitch queen bee…etc etc. actually these aren’t really jokes but hackneyed nonetheless. oh. and “something smells like updog.” “what’s updog?” “nothing, what’s up whichooo!!!” urgh.
Thank you for your contributions! These will be combined to create the Most Tired Joke in the World at some point.
