Paula Report post Posted January 19, 2006 (edited) Without knowing it my son is the best funny man around and with no effort what so ever.So i thought id share one of his many jokes.Remember he doesnt realy get comedy or jokes but tries to tell them and pulls it of in a strange kinda way. The following is said in a monotone voice,no smiles and with a deadpan face. He says What do you get if you cross a car tyre with a human I say I dont know what do you get if you cross a car tyre with a human He says I havent a clue He then carries on playing PS2.Made me laugh.He could be the next big thing and you heard it here first. Anyone else got a unexpected comic amongst them who doesnt even realise it. Edited January 19, 2006 by Paula Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brook Report post Posted January 19, 2006 My son isn't to good with the jokes, he tries but they dont make any sense, an example: son: "knock, knock" me: "whose there?" son: "banana" me: "banana who?" son: "banana goes to the shop". He then laughs hysterically and says "was that funny?" Brook Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Strange girl Report post Posted January 19, 2006 My son is a great entertainer. His deliverance is pro too. He reads jokes from his beano and remembers them all, he doesn't get the jokes himself most of the time but he knows they are jokes so he says them and then laughs along cluelessly .. He also recreates (mimics) word for word dialogue from tv, story tapes, etc with an annimated flourish, not to mention he dances like billy elliot He is at his most funny when he says things honestly and out loud in assembly's not trying to be funny as such. Like at easter they had a vicor in assembly and he asked the children if they knew what the cross was. My son, in all seriousness, said yes it's for hanging dead bodies on.. quite the comedian...

shintyboy Report post Posted January 19, 2006 My son has been telling the same joke for years and I apologise first because I wish to offend no-one,but it is quite funny.

JUST A DAD !! Report post Posted January 19, 2006 My son Keegan is also rather funny its not really jokes that he says its just his funny Keeganism's as we call them for example. He fell and bumped his head once he had recovered from the fall he said to us "Pitty I bumped my head I have not lost vital information." (it must have been from a dvd he had watched) but at the time he had us in fits of laughter. Its good to laugh I think its the best medicine in the world..

Will Report post Posted January 20, 2006 Quite recently a handful of friends etc. have been telling me I'm an unknown comedian, and mostly I'm never sure what they're talking about, as it's mainly when I'm not even trying to be funny! I pride myself on a sense of humour, and my ability to laugh at myself (at me - not at my jokes...) is one of my few good qualities, but clearly I can also be very funny without realising I'm doing it... yet the things I find the most amusing pass unnoticed by a lot of people... Confusing. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jill Report post Posted January 20, 2006 ... yet the things I find the most amusing pass unnoticed by a lot of people... Confusing. Well I think your signature is VERY funny. Chuckled as soon as I read it. I think it shows a clear understanding of how you MAY be perceived, but shows that you can laugh at yourself / other's perception. Witty & intelligent!

DaisyProudfoot Report post Posted January 20, 2006 It's like living with Jack Dee living with our Martin. He said something in the car this morning (can't remember what) and I couldn't pull out of the driveway for laughing meanwhile he's kicking the back of my seat saying: "Why are you laughing, it's not funny, stop laughing, STOP LAUGHING" I just couldn't stop and it wasn't even that funny, it was just the way he said it Bless him Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jen Report post Posted January 29, 2006 my child is very funny not in the joke sort of way but the things he says and the expression he uses. When my child went up to year 3 he had the most horrible teacher in the school. All the difficult children were put into her class. one morning my son goes to school and asks his teacher, "why do you come to school with a miserable face every day" the teacher replied "I come to school with a miserable face because you come to school in a mood" my child said "I am not in a mood today so you can smile" Well the teacher found this very funny and told me at parents evening. She also said my son is always making her laugh. My son had a supply teacher in to take an english lesson. He sat with the rest of his class and his LSA to listen to the teacher. After the teacher explained the lesson he told the child to go and sit at there desks. My child went back to his desk and said to the LSA at the top of his voice he had not understood one word of the instruction and why could the teacher not speak in English. (the teacher was from India and had an Indian accent) Jen Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kirstie Report post Posted January 29, 2006 Lewis's fave joke at the moment is, "Why did the toilet go down the hill?" Me: "Don't know why did the toilet go down the hill?" "To get to the bottom!" It's not too bad !! He watches your face to see if its funny then rools around the floor if you laugh! It's when he's on the bus and some poor guy has bad zits, he'll say really loudly (Turning my head to look at him too!) "Look Mum, whats wrong with that mans face? Why has he got lots of spots?" it's sooo embarressing! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jill Report post Posted January 30, 2006 The Boy is mostly non verbal so we don't get spoken jokes. He does do funny things tho............. Last Friday, he picked up hubbies wine glass and put it to hubbies mouth for hubby to have a drink. When hubby had had a drink The Boy put the glass down, wiped his own mouth and made a loud burping sound and said "ahhhhh". I've no idea where he's picked that up from but it did give us a laff. He's also got a really comical pretend sneeze that he does if he hears us sneezing and his little cough to get attention - a real "ahem" said very posh - cracks me up every time.

Paula Report post Posted January 30, 2006 My son suffers from flatulance hes always farting He has a catchphrase when he breaks wind he always says AHHHHHHHHH Bisto. Hes obviously got it from the tv ad and adapted it to fit the occasion. he then wafts the offending smell over us and says enjoy. maybe this is nothing to do with being As and everything to do with being Male .
