I am not a big fan of Jimmy Kimmel, but he did get to nail Sarah Silverman, so I must give the guy some credit.

Failed Humor = Jimmy Kimmel

The most un-funny person in America.

+ report abuse

The thing that I like about Mencia is tht he makes fun of everyone. He''s an "Equal Opportunity Comedian." No one is safe around him.

A bear and rabbit are going to the bathroom in the woods. "Does *** ever stick to your fur?" asks the bear. The rabbit says "No." So the bear wiped his butt with the rabbit. HAHAHAHAHA or not???

One Halloween when I was a kid I went door to door dressed as a pirate. One woman said "Where are your buccaneers?" I said "Under my buckin'' hat, lady"

You see, this is the perfect example. Some people find certain jokes funny, others may not. But you gotta test people. It''s sort of like approaching hotties in a bar. You gotta find their limitations and then adjust your behavior, that is if you want to score.

A friend of mine had a suit made of mirrors.
Didn''t realize how ridiculous he looked until he sat down to reflect on it.


A set of siamese twins moved from the United States to England, so the other one could learn to drive.

Nancy Bell missed an important one.

The listener is immediately hit with the feeling that he or she should have seen that chimneys can''t talk - a perceived slight, and the first reaction can most often be ill feelings.

If people can get upset about something as non seneschal as that they need a better grip.

"What did the big chimney say to the little chimney?"

Ok im not offended. Im still trying to figure out how this was even a joke. I would have walked away scratching my head thinking what?

There are good jokes, and there are good bad jokes.

Johnny Carson''s fans groaned for years at his bad jokes. And kept coming back for more.

I never knew the meaning of true happiness until I got married, but then it was too late..
