Worlds best joke??
BBC
Quote:
Comedian Spike Milligan was the author of the world's funniest joke, a psychology professor has claimed.
Professor Richard Wiseman carried out an internet experiment five years ago to find the world's best gag.
A joke about two US hunters who go into the woods topped the poll after more than 100,000 people around the world cast their vote on 40,000 jokes.
Professor Wiseman said the gag almost certainly originated from a 1951 Goons sketch written by Milligan.

and the joke was.........

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?"

Oh come on, it's at least mildly amusing. surely?
Probably the broad appeal of this joke is that it's not too culture specific. It made me smile

But did it make you lol?  I think not. There much better jokes out there.
It may be the funniest sensible none rude racial joke.
Just me being honest.

If I understand you, skunk4u, you're saying that jokes have to be rude and/or racial to be funny?
Reminds me of another old chestnut:
"'Do you know what good, clean fun is?'
'No, I don't; what good is it?'"
