I voted Brit because they have understood true "wit" at least since Chaucer's time and probably longer.

Not British (AFAIK) and not witty - just a kneeslapper - but a favorite joke nonetheless:

Nothing like dry, witty (and sometimes saucy) British humour. I *love* Morecombe and Wise, The Two Ronnies, Benny Hill, Are You Being Served, It Ain't Half Hot Mum, Monty Python, Porridge, Richard Lester (Director), Peter Sellers, "Carry on", Rowan Atkinson, etc etc.

Mel Brooks. YAY!

Spaceballs is just the Best Movie Ever!

And, of course, "Wierd Al". That guy makes genious songs like "Star Trekkin around the universe" or "Star Wars Cantina". Or "Windows 95, it's Sucking up my Drive".

Just...LOL!

Never loughted so much.

But, What shall i vote now...

Whatever,

Spaceballs=:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

For Your Entertainment:

Lyrics for "Windows 95"-Song

When I bought it up
brought Windows home and tried to boot it up.

But when I load it up,
it says my memory is not enough.

I'll be runnin' out
I need some extra RAM to fix it up

I have to cough it up
Open my wallet up - it never stops never stops ...

This is Windows 95
It's sucking up my drive
It makes a Pentium fly

But my PC is obsolete
I'll have to buy myself a brand new machine

Stick me up
You suck me in and then you got me hooked

There is so much stuff to buy
I need a new hard drive
It's gonna suck me dry

My 386
don't have the speed
It takes an hour just to bring it up the screen

Oh, no, I'm making software buys
It's making B*ll G*tes com*
Yo, you make a rich man com*...


"Star Wars Cantina"

Her name was Leia,
She was a princess!
With a danish on each ear and Darth Vader drawing near...
So R2-D2,
found Ben Kenobi,
He'd have to put the Death Star plans into the Rebellion's hands,
So, Luke and Obi-Wan
had to get to Alderan,
So, they stopped into Mos Eisly to have a drink with Han;


At the Star Wars,
Star Wars Cantina!
The weirdest creatures you've ever seen-a.
At the Star Wars,
Star Wars Cantina!
Music and blasters and old Jedi Masters,
at the Star Wars...

His name was Solo,
He was pilot
with a blaster at his side and a smile twelve parsecs wide!
There with Chewbacca,
He was a wookie!
They met with Luke and Obi-Wan about the Millenium Falcon,
Docking Bay 94,
Stormtroopers at the door..
With a flash of Ben's lightsaber,
now there's an arm on the floor!


His name was Yoda,
He was a Muppet!
Darth Vader was so bad and by the way, he's Luke's dad!
Luke kissed his sister,
his hand got cut off,
In that galaxy far far away,
Luke has had a lousy day;
Boba Fett was so mean,
Jabba had bad hygine!
Why didn't they all just relax back on Tatooine?

"Star Trekkin"

Star Trekkin' across the universe,
On the Starship Enterprise under Captain Kirk.
Star Trekkin' across the universe,
Only going forward 'cause we can't find reverse.


Lt. Uhura, report.



There's Klingons on the starboard bow, starboard bow, starboard bow;
there's Klingons on the starboard bow, starboard bow, Jim.


Analysis, Mr. Spock.



It's life, Jim, but not as we know it, not as we know it, not as we know it;
it's life, Jim, but not as we know it, not as we know it, Captain.



There's Klingons on the starboard bow, starboard bow, starboard bow;
there's Klingons on the starboard bow, starboard bow, Jim.


Star Trekkin' across the universe,
On the Starship Enterprise under Captain Kirk.
Star Trekkin' across the universe,
Only going forward, still can't find reverse.


Medical update, Dr. McCoy.



It's worse than that, he's dead, Jim, dead, Jim, dead, Jim;
it's worse than that, he's dead, Jim, dead, Jim, dead.



It's life, Jim, but not as we know it, not as we know it, not as we know it;
it's life, Jim, but not as we know it, not as we know it, Captain.


There's Klingons on the starboard bow, starboard bow, starboard bow;
there's Klingons on the starboard bow, starboard bow, Jim.


Starship Captain, James T. Kirk:



Ah! We come in peace, shoot to kill, shoot to kill, shoot to kill;
we come in peace, shoot to kill, shoot to kill, men.


It's worse than that, he's dead, Jim, dead, Jim, dead, Jim;
it's worse than that, he's dead, Jim, dead, Jim, dead.


Well, it's life, Jim, but not as we know it, not as we know it, not as we know it;
it's life, Jim, but not as we know it, not as we know it, Captain.


There's Klingons on the starboard bow, starboard bow, starboard bow;
there's Klingons on the starboard bow, scrape 'em off, Jim.


Star Trekkin' across the universe,
On the Starship Enterprise under Captain Kirk.
Star Trekkin' across the universe,
Only going forward, and things are getting worse!


Engineer, Mr. Scott:
Ye cannot change the laws of physics, laws of physics, laws of physics;
ye cannot cahnge the laws of physics, laws of physics, Jim.


Ah! We come in peace, shoot to kill, shoot to kill, shoot to kill;
we come in peace, shoot to kill; Scotty, beam me up!


It's worse than that, he's dead, Jim, dead, Jim, dead, Jim;
it's worse than that, he's dead, Jim, dead, Jim, dead.


Well, it's life, Jim, but not as we know it, not as we know it, not as we know it;
it's life, Jim, but not as we know it, not as we know it, Captain.


There's Klingons on the starboard bow, starboard bow, starboard bow;
there's Klingons on the starboard bow, better calm down!


Ye cannot change the script Jim.
Och, #!*& Jimmy.


It's worse than that, it's physics, Jim.


Bridge to engine room, warp factor 9.


Och, if I give it any more she'll blow, Cap'n!


Star Trekkin' across the universe,
On the Starship Enterprise under Captain Kirk.
Star Trekkin' across the universe,
Only going forward 'cause we can't find reverse.


Star Trekkin' across the universe,
On the Starship Enterprise under Captain Kirk.
Star Trekkin' across the universe,
Only going forward, still can't find reverse.

Three Examples for Good Wierd Al Music!
I have to write him a mail how much he rocks!

EDIT: I just found...

"Yoda"

I met him in a swamp down in Dagobah
Where it bubbles all the time like a giant carbonated soda
S-O-D-A, soda

I saw the little runt sitting there on a log
I asked him his name and in a raspy voice he said "Yoda"
Y-O-D-A, Yoda
Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda

Well, I've been around, but I ain't never seen
A guy who looks like a muppet, but he's wrinkled and green
Oh, my Yoda
Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda

Well, I'm not dumb, but I can't understand
How he can lift me in the air just by raising his hand
Oh, my Yoda
Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda
Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda

Well, I left home just a week before
And I've never ever been a Jedi before
But Obi Wan, he set me straight, of course
He said, "Go to Yoda and he'll show you the Force"

Well I'm not the kind that would argue with Ben
So it looks like I'm gonna start all over again
With my Yoda
Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda
Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda

Yoda
Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda
Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda

So I used the Force
I picked up a box
I lifted some rocks
While I stood on my head
but, I won't forget what Yoda said

He said, "Luke, stay away from the darker side
And if you start to go astray, let the Force be your guide"
Oh, my Yoda
Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda

"I know Darth Vader's really got you annoyed
But remember, if you kill him, then you'll be unemployed"
Oh, my Yoda
Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda

Well, I heard my friends really got in a mess
So I'm gonna have to leave Yoda I guess
But I know that I'll be coming back some day
I'll be playing this part 'till I'm old and gray

The long-term contract I had to sign
Says I'll be making these movies till the end of time
Oh with my Yoda
Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda

Yoda Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda
Yoda Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda

Yoda Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda
Yoda Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda

Yoda Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda
Yoda Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda

I voted other. My choice for funniest people are Jewish people. Let's face it guys. Mel Brooks, The Marx brothers, George S. Kaufman(wrote most of the best lines for the Marx Bros.), Lenny Bruce, Alan King, Gene Wilder, Jerry & Ben Stiller, Henny Youngman, Milton Berle, George Burns, Jack Benny, most of the old time borscht belt stand up comedians, the Coen Bros. The list goes on & on. Jerry Seinfeld, Larry David, Fran Liebowitz etc.

Yes, they have, and I love them. I just get tired of hearing whole scenes quoted over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over...

"It's spelled 'Throat-Warbler Mangrove', but it's pronounced 'Luxury Yacht'".


Steed, I hate you.
