They don't!

And we have Louis CK so it's an automatic win for us

Louis CK is win. But I'll admit that I do find Ricky Gervais to be somewhat funny. Ok.. and Eddie Izzard isn't bad for a cross-dresser. Cake or death!

Doug Stanhope is decent as well.

We had George Carlin and Bill Hicks too.

Can't really compare those two with anyone.

i think thats part of the point?

and what also makes it a joke and not a real life story?

To me it's not the balloon part of the premise that's the problem. The punch line is good but the bit about Republican's "everything you told me is technically correct. But I have no idea what to do with your information" When has anyone made a criticism like that of Republicans? Or any politicians?

"Best joke ever" thread, and I haven't even smirked.

Maybe someone can find a funny joke here:

I liked the first one in the second link:

A couple of New Jersey hunters are out in the woods when one of them falls to the ground. He doesn't seem to be breathing, his eyes are rolled back in his head. The other guy whips out his cell phone and calls the emergency services. He gasps to the operator: “My friend is dead! What can I do?”

The operator, in a calm soothing voice says: “Just take it easy. I can help. First, let's make sure he's dead.” There is a silence, then a shot is heard.

The guy's voice comes back on the line. He says: “OK, now what?“

You must have missed the "Defecit Dragon" presentation. The amount of information provided was epic, and everyone present was stunned and overwhelmed.

just because you Americans don't get our humour you will in a few years, your just behind.

seriously though i think we're about the only country in Europe with a good sense of humour, but we have some awesome comedians.

Agreed, cops wearing woman's underwear is way ahead of our time.

what the heck is that?

the old British stuff to get shown in America is the stuff that broadcasters over there think will appeal to Americans i suppose.

I think this version has been around longer, makes more sense too.
A man is flying in a hot air balloon and realizes he is lost. He reduces height and spots a man down below. He lowers the balloon further and shouts, “Excuse me. Can you help me? I promised my client that I would meet him half an hour ago, but I don’t know where I am.”
The man below says, “Yes. You are in a hot air balloon, hovering approximately 30 feet above this field. You are between 40 and 42 degrees N. latitude, and between 58 and 60 degrees W. longitude.”
“You must be an engineer,” says the balloonist.
“I am,” replies the man. “How did you know?”
“Well,” says the balloonist,”everything you have told me is technically correct, but I have no idea what to make of your information, and the fact is I am still lost.”
The man below says, “You must be a manager.”
“I am,” replies the balloonist, “but how did you know?”
“Well,” says the man below, “you don’t know where you are, or where you are going. You have made a promise which you have no idea how to keep, and you expect me to solve your problem. The fact is you are in exactly the same position you were in before we met, but now it is somehow my fault.”

And you can make a car the same way. Everything is simply putting the correct pieces in the right order.

It's also harder than it looks. Take the brits for example. They still haven't got it figured out.

They figured it out a long time ago: if it's not funny, put a man in woman's clothes.

A woman brings eight-year-old Johnny home and tells his mother that he was caught playing doctors and nurses with Mary, her eight-year-old daughter.

Johnny's mother says, "Let's not be too harsh on them.... they are bound to be curious about sex at that age."

"Curious about sex?" replies Mary's mother. "He's taken her ****ing appendix out!"

lol what the hell are you on about?

it's America that's notorious for pretending the rest of the world doesn't exist. I know its probably just because your a patriotic lot.

I never had a go at American comedy anyway, I quite like it. I have a feeling you don't see any good British comedy if you think its all cross-dressing men. 40 years ago maybe...
