Here's one. Paddy and Murphy are working on a building site. Paddy says, 'I'm going to the doctor. I'm not feeling well.' Murphy asks, 'What's wrong?' Paddy says, 'Every time I stand up quickly, I get a dizzy spell and see spots in front of my eyes.' Murphy says, 'Well, you'd better hurry up then or they'll be all painted over.'
One more. An Irishman is walking along the beach and finds a magic lamp. He rubs it and a genie pops out. The genie says, 'I'll give you one wish.' The Irishman thinks for a moment and says, 'I want a wall around Ireland so that no one can get in or out.' The genie is a bit taken aback but says, 'Your wish is my command.' The next day, the Irishman is walking along the new wall when he hears a crying on the other side. He looks over and sees a man sobbing. He says, 'What's wrong?' The man says, 'I'm an Englishman and I'm stuck here because of this wall.' The Irishman says, 'Well, don't worry. I'll ask the genie to put you on the other side.' So he rubs the lamp and the genie appears. The Irishman says, 'Genie, this Englishman is stuck here. Can you put him on the other side?' The genie says, 'Do you want me to take down the wall?' The Irishman says, 'No, just put him on the other side.' So the genie picks up the Englishman and throws him over the wall.
Another Irish joke. An Irishman goes into a pub in Dublin, orders three pints of Guinness and sits in the corner, drinking a sip out of each one in turn. When he finishes them, he comes back to the bar and orders three more. The bartender says, 'You know, a pint goes flat after I draw it, and it would taste better if you bought one at a time.' The Irishman replies, 'Well, you see, I have two brothers. One is in America, the other is in Australia, and I'm in Dublin. When we all left home, we promised that we'd drink this way to remember the days when we drank together.' The bartender admits that this is a nice custom, and leaves it there. The Irishman becomes a regular in the bar, and always drinks the same way: He orders three pints and drinks them in turn. One day, he comes in and orders two pints. All the other regulars take notice and fall silent. When he comes back to the bar for the second round, the bartender says, 'I don't want to intrude on your grief, but I wanted to offer my condolences on your loss.' The Irishman looks quite puzzled for a moment, then a light dawns and he laughs. 'Oh, no, ' he says, 'Everyone's fine. I've just joined the Baptist Church and I had to give up drinking. But it hasn't affected my brothers though!'
Richard Pryor had a story where he was trying to do a bit about a wild animal encounter. He started acting out the story in such a vivid and over - the - top way that the audience was in stitches. His ability to use his body language and facial expressions to tell a story made it one of the most memorable comedic moments.
Here's one. A blonde was on a plane to New York. She asked the flight attendant to bring her a pen and paper. When the attendant brought it, she wrote down 'Hi Mom, I'm on the plane. See you soon.' Then she put it in an envelope and asked the attendant to mail it for her. The attendant was like 'Ma'am, we're 30,000 feet in the air!'
There was this great Joker story where he decided to put on a show in the middle of the park. He did all these wacky magic tricks that went horribly wrong but in the most entertaining way. For example, he made a pigeon disappear but then it showed up on his head. It had everyone in stitches.
One of the best cancelled wedding stories I heard was when the groom got cold feet at the last minute. He was standing at the altar, and as the bride was walking down the aisle, he just blurted out 'I can't do this!' and ran out of the church. Turns out he realized he wasn't ready for the commitment, and everyone was left in shock.
There's a classic Irish joke. Mick and Pat are out fishing. Mick says, 'I think I'm going to divorce my wife. She hasn't spoken to me in six months.' Pat says, 'Think about it carefully, Mick. Women like that are hard to find.'
Here's one. A magician was walking down the street and turned into a grocery store. This is a simple but funny joke. The play on words is that 'turned into' can mean physically transform but here it means he just entered the store in a humorous way.
A well - known April Fool's prank was when a radio station announced that there was a new law requiring people to walk backwards on April 1st. They had callers sharing their experiences of trying it, and some people actually believed it and were out there walking backwards. It was a very creative and humorous prank.
One Florida Man on his birthday decided to have a pool party with his alligator friends. He actually trained them to play gentle games like fetch in the pool. It was quite a sight as the alligators would swim back with the toys in their mouths, much to the amazement of the guests.
One great April Fools' story is when a company announced they were changing the color of their famous product logo. People were shocked and started talking about it everywhere. But then it turned out to be a prank. Another is a news station that reported that gravity was going to be reversed for a day. It had everyone freaking out for a moment until they realized it was April 1st.
Once, my friends and I decided to have a cooking competition. One friend thought salt was sugar and added a whole cup to the cake mix. The result was the most inedible 'cake' ever. We all laughed so hard that we forgot about the competition and just ordered pizza instead.
