I love to make really bad similes/metaphors like "I have the memory of a fish with very poor memory" or "I'm as tall as a tree thats my height".

It's between two. If they have a sense of humor I go with this one:

Person: Hey, my name is $name

Me, with the tone of a generic highschool bully: Nice name, did your mom pick it out for you?

If I can't:

Person: What's your name?

Me: Oh, it's $name

Person: Oh that's a nice name!

Me: Thanks, I picked it out myself!

"May I ask you a question?"

"Sure"

"Thanks, may I another?"

"how do you think the unthinkable?"

In the spirit of Super Mario jokes, here’s a dumb one I love.

What kind of pants does Super Mario love to wear?

Tap for spoilerDenim denim denim!

I live in Illinois and like to say that the souther you go the Kentuckier you get. While accurate, the grammar is very, very stupid.

[–] blackbrook@mander.xyz 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I used to work with a guy from Kentucky and he used to say "there's nothing worse than an Illinois Yankee." (I should emphasize I have nothing against Illinois, I just thought it was funny and an interesting counterpoint to your comment. BTW: am a Yankee.)

Also, I work with a guy from rural Pennsylvania, and he sometimes describes it as Pennsyltucky.

"Your mom" as a comeback. It even works as a non-sequitor.

[–] AceFuzzLord@lemmy.zip 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Basiclly, if someone needs something like a lemon squeezer or something else ending with "er" I always like the classic "squeeze her? I hardly know her!" style joke.

That, or something dumb like the "I wanted to tell you a pizza joke but it's too cheesy!" type of joke.

Those were two of the first things that popped into my mind.

I have a really good joke about a cow, but I'd probably just butcher it...

[–] HobbitFoot@thelemmy.club 2 points 2 months ago

It's amazing how many people like Trump and his entourage. After all, they're fucking immature assholes.
