So I realized I'm better suited to be a joke writer for SNL than a professor, and this thead includes my auditions. This first bit is for the news this weekend, a possible spin on the Iraq-Vatican meetings. It will offend any Iraqis or devout Catholics with insufficiently thin skins:


Iraqi foreign minister Tariq Aziz met with Vatican officials today. While they were able to swiftly agree that it was the Jews and not the Romans who killed Jesus, they did dispute whether young boys should be armed or fingered.
 
Ouch!

Well the only other joke I've got ready is very geographic specific:

A new South African delicatessen just opened up near me, it's called "Cry the delicious sandwhich".

:confused: I don't get it...
 
Yes that is the problem with the joke. It comes from a couple of South African novels and films- Cry Freedom and Cry the Beloved Country. Not funny to anyone I've tried it on so far but it cracks me up all the time.
 
Well, now that you explained it i couldn't help smiling a bit... but the first one got me laughing out loud though :)

Did you accidently spell sandwich wrong, or is that part of the joke? Even after you've explained it, I still don't see how it's funny. Maybe you have to see the original stuff first hand (to make it "special"), instead of someone telling you about it. Anyway, your audition joke was great! :goodjob:
 
Yes I spelled sandwhich wrong, by accident. The only funny thing about it is "Cry the" which is the start of South African novels. I knew that joke wouldn't cut it. I'll think of some more jokes as they come up. I just thought I should start publishing the stuff...
 
Great thread! :goodjob:

I'd audition for the role of writer also. I'd do those action figure comedies they used to do, but so much better. ;) :D

generic man!

what happened to chewbacca?
 
Chewie went away for the time being, but will be part of the rotation...

It relies too much on bashing the two cultures and is a little bit crude for my taste. That isn't to say it's not funny, it is. It just feels run-of-the-mill to me. Kind of like a joke about Jeffrey Archer or George W. Bush.
