I don't even remember the specific thread, but one time I read about an updated zoomer-era version of Full Metal Jacket where the main character was named Private Jokerfied. jokerfication

I still find that funny, smile and chuckle and all, and I can't make it not-funny so I just roll with it. jokerfied joker-dancing

I will never tire of Prigozhin memes. And I'm saying this as someone who was burnt out on the Trump mugshot within the span of 24 hrs.

something about prigo's whole existence is funny to me

just some weird russian thumbcop/gammon hybrid screaming about generals, running the world's shittest coup, being seemingly given more leeway than anyone would deserve and then still trying to fly into russia and fucking dying. amazing stuff

trump-kubrick-stare calling guaido-despair "the Beto O'Rourke of Venezuela" still makes me laugh. Like it legitimately felt like it was a joke explicitly for /r/CTH. It was just so perfect. And it lives in my head rent free.

I'll never get tired of asking my friends "Do you feel a sharp pain?" when they ask where something is.

If you don't know the rest: When they say "No." you tell them,"It's not up your ass, then!"

Unfortunately, it's gone on so long now, no one falls for it anymore.

I need to remember this one.

every time I see the phrase “water wars” used on this site I imagine Yoda saying “Begun, the water wars have” and it cracks me up

“I am become drunk, the driver of cars” was posted on here a few weeks ago and still makes me chuckle.

When I was a kid there was this absurdist sit-com called Get a Life. Google it. It's bizarre and hilarious - sort of a major network predecessor to Tim & Eric.

In one episode an old man emerges from a basement room off-set, and announces, "your cock fights suck, you bastard."

I still crack a smile just thinking about that shit. Don't ask me why.

So there's this erotic fan-fiction called Batman and Robocop: The Day Men Found Love. (CW: I don't even know tbh. It's just so bizarre.) I must have read this dozens of times, and every single time I just lose it when I get to the part where Batman has to warn Robocop to be careful with his "penis grenade". It's a lot more explicit than that, but you'll have to read it for yourself. I don't know why I find it so funny. It's just so... Perfectly badly written, if that makes any sense. Like the writing for The Room, maybe.

There's also this old SA post called, "The Lesser Wisdom of Benjamin Franklin" that I always find hilarious for some reason. I don't know why. It's just silly. Some of my favorites from this:

  • "He who endeavors to drink salt needs fear no thirst."
  • "He who dines on human meat, shall never want for things to eat."
  • "Save a moment each day by leaving your trousers on while you relieve your bladder. When you have grown old, you will relish not only the time saved but also the warmth and contentment of your marvelous habit."

Years ago in high school one of my friends overheard someone say: “you know what I hate? When you get some apples, and some milk.”

That’s it. I told this to my kids years ago, and we still say it to each other (or mix and match, “when you get some apples and some poop” for instance).

A few months ago I had met up with a different high school friend. We were talking about how no one actually remembers the embarrassing things that we said or did in high school…but then both of us mentioned apples and milk.

The guy who said this works at the grocery store I’m forced to go to in our capitalist hellscape. Every time I see him I think about apples and milk. Once we spotted him while we were driving through town, and I had to stop my spouse from shouting about “apples and milk” through the window.

He’s kind of an annoying guy? He carded me once (and examined my driver’s license closely) even though we were in the same high school class. He then warned me that my license was going to expire in nine months. (I told him that I would worry about it nine months from now.) He also corrected me when I told him that I had a “big” watermelon. He said it was “large.” Otherwise we have never spoken. I suspect he is extremely hostile to communism despite working at a grocery store. The man does not know he is a legend.
