Half a peach - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

LeviticusMky · 09-18-2004, 08:58 PM

Warning, very few people actually find this one funny...

It's not sick or anything, just very odd.

I think it's the best joke ever.

So a guy walks into a bar, the bartender is taken completely off guard because the man has a half a peach for a head.

Bartender "Why do you have a half a peach for a head?"

Guy "well, it's an interesting story... a long time ago, I was traveling thru the middle east and wouldn't you know it, I came across a genie's lamp!"

Bartender "Really?!"

Guy "Swear to god! So, obvously, the Genie granted me three wishes. For my first wish, I wished for more money than I could ever use, and BAM! there was a pile of money that I couldn't see the top of!"

Bartender "Wow!"

Guy "that's what I said! For my second wish, I wished for a beautiful woman that would love me and cherish me and be with me forever, and BAM! there was this beautiful woman hanging all over me!"

Bartender "Holy crap!"

Guy "Exactly! For my third wish...

and here's where I think I went wrong...

I wished for a half a peach for a head."

Be interested to see who finds this one funny.

BEST JOKE EVER. I SWEAR THAT'S AWESOME.

Marburg · 09-18-2004, 10:45 PM

I'll be the first to admit that he doesn't get it.

Flyguy · 09-18-2004, 10:48 PM

Me neither.....

analog · 09-18-2004, 10:55 PM

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHA................. THAT'S FUCKING GREAT!!!

*can't stop laughing*

Soda_BoB · 09-18-2004, 11:47 PM

ahahahahhaah v.nice joke

itch vaccine · 09-19-2004, 05:18 AM

Wait.. what?..

>.< Oh no.. I don't get it ..

zlsk · 09-19-2004, 10:43 AM

Sorry, can someone please explain this one...

Willravel · 09-19-2004, 11:03 AM

If you haven't read the joke, read it before I ruin it by explaining it.
The reason that the joke is funny has more to do with expectations than the punch line itself. People will expect a clever and/or funny explanation for the last wish of him getting a half peach head. People are wondering in their heads, while hearing or reading the joke, 'under what circumstance would this guy accedentally or have to make such a wish?'. Then when you get to the last line, it's just he made a mistake making the wish. No clever typical joke ending. Thats what's so funny.

Destrox · 09-20-2004, 06:53 AM

Right... that is not a joke. Its just one of those so-called jokes that are utterly pointless.

WarriorBuddha · 09-20-2004, 07:41 AM

I've heard something very similar to that one before. I loved it and I love this one. Thanks.

the_marq · 09-20-2004, 07:57 AM

Yeah, really more of a non-joke. Still funny tho.

Delvid · 09-20-2004, 12:52 PM

A joke that is not a joke. Count me as not getting it.

Munku · 09-20-2004, 05:12 PM

That joke, or lack there of, does not adhere to the "It better be funny!" line under the forum title..

Chuckles · 09-21-2004, 12:21 PM

I think its funny. Kind of like the joke you might hear alot "

"What is 4 inches tall, is green, and has wheels?"

Grass. I lied about the wheels.

Mantus · 09-21-2004, 12:56 PM

I liked it!

MooseMan3000 · 09-22-2004, 10:45 AM

BAM! Oh man. Classic. How could you not enjoy that?

irateplatypus · 09-23-2004, 08:05 PM

this one gets the thumbs up from your favorite platypus. of course, platypi are known for their poor sense of humor.

LeviticusMky · 09-23-2004, 09:11 PM

Heh heh heh, some folk love it, others think it's dumb as hell!

It's a great one. A real divider!
I almost ran my car off the road the first time that I heard it!

Willravel · 09-23-2004, 09:40 PM

A joke is "something said to cause laughter" (Revised Webster's II Dictionary 1996). Just because some people don't find it funny or typical doesn't keep it from being a joke. I'm still laughing while telling it to people.

bacon_masta · 09-25-2004, 09:10 AM

that's an awesome joke, i'm going to spread that one around

Xell101 · 09-25-2004, 05:53 PM

Oh wow I like this one.

FoolThemAll · 09-26-2004, 04:19 PM

It's a joke that plays on a recurring trait of jokes. And it's quite funny.

rider07 · 09-27-2004, 05:26 AM

lol i love it. those sort of jokes are the best

slimshaydee · 09-27-2004, 05:35 AM

ahahahahaha

I love it

chewybaca96 · 09-27-2004, 10:27 AM

UglyFatRetard · 09-28-2004, 06:45 PM

that was the first time I laughed out loud while reading a joke....very funny.

Shade · 09-28-2004, 08:25 PM

it's supposed to be an orange, you fail at life

Shade · 09-28-2004, 08:25 PM

double, sorry

LeviticusMky · 10-02-2004, 06:30 PM

Heh heh heh

I heard it with the Half a peach, so it's the only way I can tell it.

It's great that so many folks find it funny!
Usually when I tell this one to people they just stand there and look at me, waiting for a punchline...

Byzantium · 10-13-2004, 09:01 AM

It is very funny, i love that kind of humor.

TIO · 10-13-2004, 10:53 AM

Gold! That's my new favourite joke...already told half a dozen people. They either crack up, or give me the kind of look that makes me think they're a bit concerned for my mental health. Then I crack up.

Sensei · 10-13-2004, 10:14 PM

That's like:
Q: "What brown and sticky?"
A: "A stick!"

I don't find those kind of jokes humorous.

Smimpinj · 10-17-2004, 02:54 PM

I love these jokes.

Q: Why did the plane crash?
A: The pilot was a loaf of bread.

Q:Why did the kid fall off his bike?
A: His mom threw a car at him.

HAHAHAAA "threw a car at him"

LOVE IT!!!That's great smimpinj!!

tekaweni · 10-22-2004, 02:55 PM

I dont get it either, even assisted by the explanations - but bloody hell - look at the discussion it caused! Good enuf !!

Shpoop · 10-22-2004, 03:02 PM

the one ive heard is:
A gay guy and a straight guy were in an elevator. The straight guy asks, "do you want any mustard?" To which the gay guy responds, "what, do you think im a rock?!"

this one ppl inevitably think about for a while, because it seems like there could be a pun...and if u plan in advance to get other people around you to laugh, the odd man out will definitely laugh too

mrdarcy · 10-24-2004, 07:42 PM

five stars and then five more

great

NegativeNine · 10-24-2004, 08:44 PM

Lol.... I love those jokes... Anyone know the name for them? I've heard them called form vs. content jokes, but dunno if thats right..

My favorite is
Q: How do you get a nun pregnant?
A: You have sex with her.
