Forums → The Tavern → Best Way to Kill a Joke

What I do is I add something stupid to the joke that kills it.

Come up with an absolutely ridiculous punchline before the person telling the joke tells you the actual punchline. Since your answer will most likely be funnier than the real answer, they'll feel stupid knowing that you're laughing at them on the inside.

Especially if you're the one who told the joke.

Person 1.Do you want to know what's funny?

Person 2.Jokes

Laughing while telling the joke...

It not only kills the joke, but it makes the person impatiant to hear the end so they can get on with there life where you are not laughing like a bafoon.

Person 1: HEY! Knock Knock!

Person 2: Im going to open the door and punch you in the face.

Person 1:

Telling an anti-joke right before someone cracks a real joke.

'Why'd Sally fall off her swing set?'
'Why?'
'Because she doesn't have any arms.'

'What'd the guy without arms or legs get for Christmas?'
'What?'
'Terminal Cancer.'

'You know whats so bad about four Jews driving off a cliff?'
'What?'
'Those guys were my friends.'

'Why'd Johnny drop his icecream?'
'Why?'
'Because he got hit by a bus.'

When a person tells you a joke have a serious face. That's a good way to kill the joke.

P1: Wanna hear a joke?
P2: Kay.
P1: Knock knock
P2: Come in!
P1: *Smacks forehead*
That's how you ruin a joke no. 1

P1 and P2 then tell a successful joke.
P3: *Walks in*
P1 and P2: 'Sup!
P3: Overheard your guys' joke. It'd go much better like this...
Correcting jokes isn't cool. It's really freakin' annoying.

Person 1: wanna hear a joke?
Person 2: *shoots person 1*

Works every time

Okay, a little off topic, but because I'm the OP, I can do whatever I want. But it still relates to jokes.

Q "Why did the monkey fall out of the tree?"
A ""Cause it was dead."
Q "Why did the second monkey fall out of the tree?"
A "Cause it was dead."
Q "Why did the third monkey fall out of the tree?"
A "Peer Pressure."

I know a better way to kill a joke. Have Patrick tell it.

How can a mod remove a thread. This is plain embarrassing.

It just is. It is something that can't be explained. I dunno, just your reputation?
