are you kidding this is hilarious.

anyway back to practice with my band, teradeth

I'm a big fan! My favorite song of yours is Sweating Magazines.

[-] nyctre@lemmy.world 3 points 20 hours ago

They're alright. Leadalica are better, tho. "Two" is a masterpiece.

I have a work acquaintance who does this in the most unfunny way. You could say you injured your Achilles tendon, and he'd reply he has an Achilles elevendon, and it's made out of steel and never hurts..

[-] Ziglin@lemmy.world 26 points 1 day ago

The elevendon was funny the rest wasn't :(

[-] starman2112@sh.itjust.works 14 points 1 day ago

Brevity is the soul of wit

[-] Lifter@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 1 day ago

Yes but it wouldn't be funny if they just said "Heh, elevendon". It need a delivery sandwich. Maybe there's a funnier sandwich though.

"You should get the latest upgrade. (Point down. Pause for effect).... Elevendon."

This sounds like a joke I have with two of my work acquaintances

[-] Ziglin@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago

You're not going to believe this but a third one joined us at my work.

[-] SidewaysHighways@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago

All both of em eh?

[-] yuri@pawb.social 18 points 1 day ago

idk i might find that pretty funny

[-] blazeknave@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago

This sounds like a joke I'd make. Most of the time, I'm only making myself chuckle.

My favourite actor is Alan Threedyk.

[-] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 11 points 1 day ago

I prefer to be more realistic, like House of 999 Corpses and Medium Speed Car.

[-] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 4 points 21 hours ago

Yeah, that's pretty good, but my film House of 998 Corpses and 1 Live Orange Cat is sure to be a hit

[-] Caffeinated_Sloth@lemmy.world 37 points 1 day ago

That joke reminds me of a full-length Netflix comedy special I did with my whole family…

[-] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 1 day ago

That's pretty good, but I prefer The Aristocratter

[-] miss_demeanour@lemmy.dbzer0.com 15 points 1 day ago

We call that banter (also a personality trait) "Topper".

[-] FenderStratocaster@lemmy.world 12 points 1 day ago

Me and my cousin have 2 ongoing bits.

[-] Cruxifux@feddit.nl 10 points 1 day ago

Me and my three cousins have four ongoing bits.

[-] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 2 points 21 hours ago

Your cousin's a classy lady.

[-] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 1 day ago

Amongst my cousins and bits ongoing are fear, surprise, and an almost fanatic support of Pope Tim Minchin

[-] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 8 points 1 day ago

I have a couple of friends who do the exact same thing .... but it isn't funny or humorous

[-] Wolf@lemmy.today 2 points 20 hours ago

I have three friends who do the same thing but it's funny and humorous!

[-] Today@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago

It's funnier during the millisecond it's in my head.

[-] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 day ago

Story of my life..

[-] Xenny@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

Knowing your audience is important

[-] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 day ago

I've given up in telling them any new information at this point.

The funny thing is that they're imagination had dried up and they can't give to share anything new anymore. We're older so as the years go by, it's getting to the point where they start recommending things they already recommended years ago.
