Ask Lemmy

Homer Simpson thinking to himself:

"Aww, $20? I wanted a peanut."

"$20 can buy many peanuts."

"Explain how."

"Money can be exchanged for goods and services."

I think at least one part of this exchange to myself almost every time I buy anything.

"Supplise!"

Its from this dumb racist joke I heard as a kid:

An Italian, a Scotsman, and a Chinese guy are hired at a construction site.

The foreman points out a huge pile of sand and says to the Italian, "You're in charge of sweeping."

To the Scotsman he says, "You're in charge of shovelling."

And to the Chinese man he says, "You're in charge of supplies."

So the foreman goes away for a couple of hours and when he returns, the pile of sand is untouched. He asks the Italian, "Why didn't you sweep any of it?"

He replies "I no hava no broom, you saida to the Chinese guy that he wasa ina charge of supplies, but he hasa disappeared and I no coulda finda him nowhere."

The foreman turns to the Scotsman and says, "And you, I thought I told you to shovel this pile."

He replied, "Aye, ye did lad, bit ah couldnae git masel' a shuvl! Ye left thon wee Chinese mannie in chairge of supplies, bit ah couldnae fin' him onywhar."

The foreman is really pissed off now and storms off towards the pile of sand to look for the Chinese guy. As he approaches the mound, the Chinese guy leaps out from behind the sand and yells…

"SUPPLISE!"

30 years later my partner and mother of my 2 children is Asian. Despite her best efforts her English is not great. We are a bilingual household, and this type of silly mis-spoken word thing comes up a lot.

Every time I read the word "supplies", like yesterday my printer alerted me that I need to order supplies, I have a little chuckle imagining an Asian guy jumping out and surprising me.

Its lame. Its based on a racist stereotype. I dont make fun of people with language difficulties. But I will always find this joke worth a chuckle.

Many years ago I hung out with an old man that when asked him what he thought about a subject and he had no real input he would answer “I think a sack of flour would make a big biscuit!”

That will stay in my head forever.

Thanks to xkcd, whenever someone says "blank-ass blank" I mentally move the hyphen over, and depending on the person, if they say "that's a big-ass ball" I'll ask them "what's an ass-ball? And why is it big?"

One of my old coworkers at a previous job, I forget the exact context, but when he was asked to do something:

"Hey [Name], can you get this done?"

"Can the Pope's dick fit through a donut?"

".... I don't know?"

"Exactly 😎 👉 👉"

(The original is in swedish, so this is obviously translated)

Let’s see said the blind man to the deaf man

"What's brown and sticky?"

"A stick."

This one's been doing the rounds in my family for as long as I can remember.

Why is 6 afraid of 7?

Because 7 8 9.

Edit: I'm also fond of:

What did 0 say to 8?

Nice belt.

From the greatest sports parody movie ever made, BASEketball (1998):

Squeak: I swear if you guys rip on me 13 or 14 more times I'm outta here!

Who are you and how did you get in here?

I'm a locksmith and I'm a locksmith.

There was a terrible standup bit that I loved. I believe it was from An Evening at the Improv.

Guy is doing a bad private eye shtick: "Either this man was stabbed to death with a spoon, or his entire body is breaking out in little smiles."

I have searched online for the clip for literally over a decade, and I know this because I searched once a few years ago and found... myself asking the exact same question on a forum a decade earlier.

-"Anyway, your immunity Is due to the fact that you lack the delta brain wave. It's a genetic abnormality which resulted when you went back in time And performed certain actions which made you your own grandfather."

-"I did do the nasty in the past-y."

There was an intentionally bad discovery channel commercial with some Mexicans dressed up as meteors entering earths atmosphere and burning up. Deadpan delivering "aaaahhhhh. The atmospheeeeere. Aaahhhhh"

That just pops into my head every so often. Me and my best friend thought it was hilarious back in the 90's. Cause it was.

What kind of bees make milk?

Boobies

Anyone: "guess what"

Me: "chicken butt"

"Oh no, not again" from the paragraph:

"Curiously enough, the only thing that went through the mind of the bowl of petunias as it fell was Oh no, not again. Many people have speculated that if we knew exactly why the bowl of petunias had thought that we would know a lot more about the nature of the Universe than we do now.

There's a Winnie the Pooh episode where the characters are playing on Christopher Robin's train set and the episode turns into a parody of a stereotypical Western with a train robbery and a Western town with a saloon and jail and all that.

In one scene they're on the train and one character (I think Pooh, but it might be Piglet) appears out of nowhere. Another character questions his sudden, impossible appearance on a moving train in the middle of the desert and and Pooh/Piglet responds "it's a fantasy"

I don't know why that dumb joke stuck in my head, but sometimes when life gets to be too much I randomly think "it's a fantasy" and things don't really matter anymore or have to make sense.

Spongebob: Patrick, your genius is showing!

Patrick: [Covers crotch] Huh, where?!

Why can you never have more that one egg?
Cause one egg is Un œuf (enough)

My favourite bilingual joke. It's so silly, it's so fantastic

Jokes about German sausages are the wurst!

A student turned in his test with a $100 stapled to it, with a note “$100 = 100 points = A.” He got the test back with $50 stapled to it and a note “$50 = 50 points = F”

Why was the sand wet?

The sea weed.

I always have one joke at the ready, it was a quip between party members in dragon age 2:

"An elf and a dwarf walk into a bar, the elf looks at the dwarf and says 'you're lucky you're so short, that hurt like hell!"

"I always wanted a briefcase that attached to my wrist with handcuffs. Alright." - A "joke" from Mitch Hedberg.

When you're right, you're right, and when you're right.......you're right

"Try not to suck any dicks on the way to the parking lot!"
