Ever made a great joke and the audience was too small? I'd like to hear it.

I worked for a small marketing company in college and the completely humorless owner told me go through the storage room and only keep 2 of each catalog.

We had a few from a company called Reich Paper. I took one and brought it into the office.

"We have a couple catalogs from this company. What should I do with....the third Reich?"

He looked at me like I was a total idiot. "Um. Throw it away??"

I thought it was a good joke...

Ages ago, when I was in the army, my best friend couldn't get promoted because his arms wouldn't straighten. It was a super dumb issue which prevented him to properly do a push up, and because of that he could t pass the PT test.

Finally months and months of doctors and paperwork, he receives a waiver and is getting promoted.

Our commander is giving a little speech about follow through and perseverance or something, and he says, "and because of his funny arms"

I immediately blurted out, "Yeah, they're really humourous."

In a crowd of 40 people, I think one person got it. I still think it was my best joke I ever cracked at a moments notice.

When I was a teacher, I went from teaching English in a classroom with two windows to a computer lab with windowless walls on all four sides.

I only got to tell this joke like a dozen times.

I would tell the person I was talking to that I liked teaching technology, but I missed the windows in my old classroom because now I had the fewest windows in the school.

Then after a pause, I’d say: Actually, now that I think about it, I ended up with the most windows because I have thirty computers all running Windows 10. And that’s like 300 Windows if you do the math.

The audience is always too small. I'm 6'5" tall.

I have a lot of really REALLY fucked up ones. I'm an acute inpatient psych nurse but I've also had 4x inpatient stays of my own so I have a bunch of jokes that would leave my patients AND my coworkers speechless.

"Well I had a nuchal cord x4 (umbilical cord wrapped around the neck 4 times) so if you think about it, I've actually been trying to kill myself longer than I've been alive."

"So then they restrained me and gave me a B10&4 (twice the amount of medication usually given for agitation) and I woke up in a state hospital with my back seized up from the Haldol and anyway that's how I found out they were hiring!" 🎉

"I'm almost definitely more suicidal than my patient right now." - Me (who's had chronic low-grade suicidal ideation since I was like 12, sitting "suicide watch" on a patient who most likely just said they were suicidal so they didn't freeze to death overnight on the street. Honestly I respect the hustle, if the psych hospital counts as comfortable to you I probably don't even wanna know what your other option was. The mental health crisis in America won't go anywhere until the housing one does).

I made a very crude one with 2 of my workmates today, but one choked on his coffee so I'm proud of it.

"Rougher than being fingered by a brickie" (Bricklayer)

for an audience of 2... possibly the wittiest joke ive thought of off the top of my head... for 2 people.

I don’t condone this joke, it’s terrible and offensive. I wrote it for a friend’s standup routine.

My friends are upset at me because they think I’m sleeping with a 16 year old. But she’s not 16. She was 16 when she died. Now she’s 18.

A professor once asked if we knew what a pronoun was, and I asked if it was a noun that lost its amateur status.

I sometimes tell the doggo some jokes out of habit. If laughter is anything to go by, she's the funnier one though.

WARNING: This one is pretty twisted and sick. NSFW.

What did the leper say to the prostitute?

Keep the tip.

Not exactly a joke but when the Lemmy apps were coming online I really feel like someone should have taken the name “Votorhead”

I was feeling pretty bad so I went to see the doctor.

He checks me out and says "Well, I have good news, and I have bad news."

"Well, give it to me straight, what's the bad news?"

"Bad news is, you have leprosy."

"Jesus Christ, doc! What's the good news?"

"Good news is, it's just the 24-hour kind."

Turns out a Lung Function Kit is not an upgrade to Knight Riders car.

"I got a DUI last night... for 'Driving While Illiterate!'"

Came up with that one at the grocery store the other day. My partner didn't even crack a smile. If you're familiar with Norm Macdonald, read it in his voice.

I walked around my nearby harbor freight and farted really loud. Everyone around me clapped
