Lets crack a joke in this stress life
@Fred
Agreed.
Compare the totally humourless "Three's Company" to the hilarious show which inspired it, "Man About The House".
I could never watch any American alleged comedy series like the dreadful Friends, Frazier and others of that ilk. they rely mostly on canned laughter.
When you look at British comedy like Fools and Horses and Father Ted, they really are in a different league!
Maybe they could invent a new vaccine to inject humour into people?
Oh right the American spelling for humour . That explains why there is no humour 🤣 -@kengillI tend to find American humour to be forced rather than funny. I tried to watch their comedians, but most are either crap, or rely on swearing to try to raise a laugh.They tend to miss out actual humour as they tend to miss out Us.Look at Friends. 200+ shows, and hardly a laugh to be heard. -@Fred
The laugh track ruined comedy shows as it is used as a vice for comedy on American television. However, American television shows used to be high quality productions, well written and well acted through the 1980's. I Love Lucy, The Honeymooners, Dick Van Dyke show, The Carol Burnett Show, Andy Griffith Show, MASH, Gilligan's Island, My Three Sons amongst many others come to mind. Most of todays television is unwatchable, comedies, dramas, "news" shows. I agree "Friends" was abhorrent. The best of todays comedy shows are Saturday Night Live, The Daily Show, Jimmy Kimmel Live, The Late Show with Stephen Colbert and Last Week Tonight with John Oliver.
Now to end with another joke.
A couple were traveling through Mexico during the 1970's and stopped in a small town for rest and food. After spending a few hours eating and exploring the town, the couple started to wonder what the time was. They noticed a man sitting on the ground leaning against a wall in the shade next to his burro. They asked the man if he knew the time. He responded, "Ok, let's see" and grabbed the balls of the burro and after a few seconds proclaimed it was 10 after 3. In amazement, they asked the man how he could tell the time by holding the burro's balls. The man explains it's simple, I had to lift the burro's balls so I could see the clock tower which was across the street.
A beggar approaches a well dressed man and asks him if he could lend $25. The well dressed man says he only has $10 on him as he doesn't carry much cash. The beggar tells him that's ok, I'll take the $10 and you can pay me back the $15 you owe me next week.
After working for years at the post office a man finally was able to buy his dream house way out in the country to enjoy the rest of his days in peace and quiet .
After a couple of weeks a man pulls up in the front yard in a beat up , old pick up truck. Knocks on the door and introduced himself as " the neighbor " which came as some surprise because the retired post man had no idea he had neighbors so remote was his house.
The neighbor says " We are having a little party this weekend and you are invited. "
The retired post man is happy and gladly accepts the invitation.
The neighbor says , " There's going to be some drinking."
The retired post man , " That's fine , though I cut back I still have been known to have a few drinks, don't mind at all "The neighbor says there will be some dancing
The post man says , I'm not much of a dancer but always wanted to learn .
The neighbor says , " There might be some fighting."
Retired post man says, " I have seen that sort of thing usually when guys are drunk and it's usually over some girl. I will keep a low profile and make sure I don't hit on anyone's girl .
Neighbor says , "There might be some fuc@in "
Postman is " Wow sure sounds like a real wild crowd how many people will be there?"
Neighbor: " Oh , just you and me."
My father passed away last September. My distraught 8 year old daughter through her tears asked me if she'll get to see grandpa when she dies. I told her "Not if you're good".
What’s the difference between love and marriage?
Love is blind. Marriage is eye-opening.
I told my wife she should embrace her mistakes.
She turned towards me & gave me big a hug.
I was drinking a martini when the waitress screamed, “Does anyone know CPR?” I yelled, “I know the entire alphabet,” and we all laughed and laughed — well, except one person.
When's the worst time to have a heart attack?
During a game of charades.
My wife and I have reached the difficult decision that we do not want children. If anybody does, please just send me your contact details, and we can drop them off tomorrow.
Dentist: “This will hurt a little.” Patient: “OK ?” Dentist: “I’m having an affair with your wife."
How do you know you’re ugly? If you always get handed the camera for group photos.
My girlfriend and I had a big fight and in my anger, I took her wheelchair from her. Sure enough, as I figured, she came crawling back to me.
Okay, no joke, but this is pretty damn funny.

This might be a little bit of a dad joke but here goes:

Doorbell repair man...
Why are cigarettes good for the environment? Because they kill people.
As our mom got older, her health started to decline so we checked her into the hospital. Test results indicated that she was anemic and needed a transfusion. So we asked her what her blood type was and all she could do was selflessly think about us as she kept telling us to “be positive,” until her last breath.
My elderly relatives liked to tease me at weddings, saying things like, “You’ll be next!” They stopped once I started doing the same to them at funerals.
It's midnight and a woman awakes to find her husband not in bed.
She puts on her robe and goes downstairs to look for him. She finds him sitting at the kitchen table with a cup of hot cocoa in front of him.
He appears to be in deep thought, just staring at the wall. She watches as he wipes away a tear from his eye.
"What's the matter, dear?" she whispers as she steps into the room. "Why are you down here at this time of the night!?"
The husband looks up from his drink, "It's the 20th Anniversary of the day we met." She can't believe he has remembered and starts to tear up.
The husband continues, "Do you remember 20 years ago when we started dating? I was 18 and you were only 15", he said solemnly. Once again, the wife is touched to tears because her husband is so caring and sensitive. "Yes, I do" she replies.
The husband pauses.
The words were not coming easily. "Do you remember when your father caught us in the back seat of my car?" "Yes, I remember" said the wife, lowering herself into a chair beside him.
The husband continued. "Do you remember when he shoved the shotgun in my face and said, "Either you marry my daughter or I will make sure you spend the next 20 years in prison?"
He sighed as he wiped another tear away from his cheek and said, "I would have gotten out today."

Okay, I give up. I don't get it.
Have you ever been guilty of looking at others your own age and thinking, "surely I can't look that old."
from a lady called Claire
"My name is Claire... I was sitting in the waiting room for my first appointment with a new dentist.
I noticed his degree on the wall, which bore his full name.
Suddenly, I remembered a tall , handsome, dark-haired boy with the same name had been in my high school some 35+ years ago.
Could he be the same guy that I had a secret crush on, way back then?
Upon seeing him, however, I quickly discarded any such thought.
This balding, gray-haired man with the deeply lined face was way too old to have been my classmate.
After he examined my teeth, I asked him if he had attended the same school as I...
"Yes. yes, I did,'' he gleamed with pride.
"When did you graduate?" I asked.
He answered, "In 1987. Why do you ask?"
"You were in my class!!!!", I happily exclaimed.
He looked at me closely.
Then, that
ugly,
old,
bald,
wrinkled faced,
gray-haired,
decrepit,
idiot,
asked me, "What subject did you teach?"
He answered, "In 1987. Why do you ask?"
"You were in my class!!!!", I happily exclaimed.
Very good joke, made me cackle mainly cause I can relate. I graduated in 1981. You should have changed the date to like 1972. Thanks for the joke
