What is the world's funniest joke?
- Thread starter Ivan Seeking
- Start date
In summary, a psychology professor conducted an internet experiment and declared comedian Spike Milligan's joke as the world's funniest 5 years ago. The winning joke was about a penguin in a revolving door. A physicist made a joke about penguins and a physicist going to the dark side, while others made racist jokes about penguins in Britain being afraid of Wales and sheep. The conversation then turned to the real danger of the world being man bear big, with one person mentioning the potential threat of Arildno.

If you make them roll fast enough they look green.

As long as it isn't Arildno behind him, he doesn't have that much to be afraid of.
