I have a work acquaintance who does this in the most unfunny way. You could say you injured your Achilles tendon, and he'd reply he has an Achilles elevendon, and it's made out of steel and never hurts..

[–] Feathercrown@lemmy.world 47 points 1 week ago (2 children)

This sounds like a joke I have with two of my work acquaintances

[–] SidewaysHighways@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago

All both of em eh?

[–] Ziglin@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago

You're not going to believe this but a third one joined us at my work.

[–] Ziglin@lemmy.world 27 points 1 week ago (2 children)

The elevendon was funny the rest wasn't :(

Brevity is the soul of wit

Yes but it wouldn't be funny if they just said "Heh, elevendon". It need a delivery sandwich. Maybe there's a funnier sandwich though.

"You should get the latest upgrade. (Point down. Pause for effect).... Elevendon."

idk i might find that pretty funny

[–] blazeknave@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago

This sounds like a joke I'd make. Most of the time, I'm only making myself chuckle.

[–] Caffeinated_Sloth@lemmy.world 39 points 1 week ago (1 children)

That joke reminds me of a full-length Netflix comedy special I did with my whole family…

[–] bizzle@lemmy.world 25 points 1 week ago (1 children)

That's pretty good, but I prefer The Aristocratter

[–] pyre@lemmy.world 35 points 1 week ago (1 children)

[–] The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I'm a big fan! My favorite song of yours is Sweating Magazines.

[–] nyctre@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

They're alright. Leadalica are better, tho. "Two" is a masterpiece.

[–] miss_demeanour@lemmy.dbzer0.com 15 points 1 week ago

We call that banter (also a personality trait) "Topper".

[–] FenderStratocaster@lemmy.world 12 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Me and my cousin have 2 ongoing bits.

[–] Cruxifux@feddit.nl 10 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Me and my three cousins have four ongoing bits.

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Amongst my cousins and bits ongoing are fear, surprise, and an almost fanatic support of Pope Tim Minchin

Your cousin's a classy lady.

I prefer to be more realistic, like House of 999 Corpses and Medium Speed Car.

Yeah, that's pretty good, but my film House of 998 Corpses and 1 Live Orange Cat is sure to be a hit

I have a couple of friends who do the exact same thing .... but it isn't funny or humorous

[–] Today@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

It's funnier during the millisecond it's in my head.

Story of my life..

[–] Xenny@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Knowing your audience is important

[–] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 week ago

I've given up in telling them any new information at this point.

The funny thing is that they're imagination had dried up and they can't give to share anything new anymore. We're older so as the years go by, it's getting to the point where they start recommending things they already recommended years ago.

[–] Wolf@lemmy.today 2 points 1 week ago

I have three friends who do the same thing but it's funny and humorous!

My favourite actor is Alan Threedyk.
