[–] The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world 9 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] nyctre@lemmy.world 3 points 7 hours ago

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

[–] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 9 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 3 points 8 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

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 24 points 18 hours ago (2 children)

The elevendon was funny the rest wasn't :(

[–] starman2112@sh.itjust.works 13 points 17 hours ago

Brevity is the soul of wit

[–] Lifter@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

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.

[–] Lifter@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 16 hours ago

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

[–] Feathercrown@lemmy.world 43 points 22 hours ago (2 children)

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

[–] Ziglin@lemmy.world 7 points 18 hours ago

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

[–] SidewaysHighways@lemmy.world 8 points 20 hours ago

All both of em eh?

[–] yuri@pawb.social 18 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

idk i might find that pretty funny

[–] blazeknave@lemmy.world 8 points 20 hours ago

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

[–] Caffeinated_Sloth@lemmy.world 37 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 17 hours ago

That's pretty good, but I prefer The Aristocratter

[–] miss_demeanour@lemmy.dbzer0.com 15 points 22 hours ago

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

[–] FenderStratocaster@lemmy.world 12 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

Me and my cousin have 2 ongoing bits.

[–] Cruxifux@feddit.nl 10 points 21 hours ago (2 children)

Me and my three cousins have four ongoing bits.

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 1 points 8 hours ago

Your cousin's a classy lady.

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

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

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

[–] Wolf@lemmy.today 2 points 7 hours ago

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

[–] Today@lemmy.world 7 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 17 hours ago

Story of my life..

[–] Xenny@lemmy.world 4 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

Knowing your audience is important

[–] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 5 points 21 hours 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.
