Banana You Glad I Didn't Say Orange?

HERE ARE SOME AMAZING THINGS:

- I have just discovered a song about Derren Brown, played on the ukulele, on YouTube. Glee!

- Here is a wonderful Sherlock Holmes fanvid, set to 'Read My Mind' by the Killers. It makes me want to sit down and watch the whole of the Adventures of Sherlock Holmes. Oh, Jeremy Brett, you were the perfect Holmes. Look at

"I have just discovered a song about Derren Brown, played on the ukulele, on YouTube. Glee!"

I would've assumed that that was YOU except for the bit where I met you and know what you look like. STILL. Derren may very well be trying to play that song on his own ukelele!

[rionaleonhart]

It is me in spirit, certainly. My soul has apparently manifested itself as an American girl who, rather frustratingly, can play the ukulele and sing quite a lot better than I can.

The idea of Derren playing and singing a song about having a crush on himself amuses me no end. I would actually not be surprised.

Perhaps he can teach his parrots to sing it?

Also, I only know the REALLY bad jokes Alan Davies once told on QI:

Q: What's brown and sticky?
A: A stick.

Q: Why did the mushroom go to the party?
A: He was a fun guy.

This is quite possibly the worst joke I've ever heard. floraldeoderant told it, which may explain that Seriously, though, you lose, like, 9 xboxillion karma points for telling it or laughing at it, which of course we all did. (I think the reason you laugh is BECAUSE it's horrible, honestly; it's one of those taboo-breaking things where it just triggers the laugh response because it's so far removed from good and right.)

But.

What's worse than finding a dead skunk under your pillow?

The Holocaust.

I have heard similar jokes, and they make me laugh every time. APPARENTLY, WE ARE BAD PEOPLE.

What's the difference between a pile of dead babies and a pile of bowling balls?

You can't shovel bowling balls out the back of your pickup with a pitchfork.

Tell me on the way, Brigadier! Tell me on the way! You must cultivate a sense of urgency.

(talking to the two men and holding hands with Harry and Sarah Jane) I should stand back if I were you. (Disappearing) I mean it should be all right. (Reappearing) But you never know quite, do you? (Disappears again)

[As the armed guards seize him and Sarah] That's right, grab us! We're very dangerous.

...all right, why have I watched none of the Fourth Doctor?

(Although the Second Doctor does apparently have some rather wonderful lines as well. 'You know our ways. You must be destroyed.' 'Yes, I was afraid you'd get back to that.')

4/Romana is snarky snarky love.

Eeeee, 4/Romana! The only Doctor ship I actually ship!

I--rice monkeys?

YOUR BEWILDERMENT IS JUST MAKING ME LAUGH HARDER.

[captlebubbles]

Then should I be worried that I got it right off?

The best joke I ever heard - maybe it was just the rEally earnest delivery but it cracked me up for hours - was told to me by a six year old my mum used to babysit.

There were two sausages in a frying pan. One sausage says, "Blimey, it's hot in here!" and the second goes "OH MY GOD OH MY GOD A TALKING SAUSAGE!"

[rionaleonhart]

Hee! It probably works better when told aloud, but I rather enjoy that anyway.
