Jokes That Didn't Make the Cut...

Howdy folks. The following are a few gags that haven't made my set. Please feel free to confirm my decision...

1. We used to have a cat – I named it 'Owwwwww' so it'd never forget who it was.

2. Aygo by Toyota. That's subliminal advertising if ever I heard it.

3. Sometimes I like to colour my lawn. Anyway, I dye grass...

4. My uncle Alan was an artist. He would paint himself white then just stand at the end of a football field for 90 minutes. He was the last of the great post-impressionists.

5. I was kidnapped by a bunch of Microsoft Games employees. I tell you it's torture that solitaire confinement.

6. I've got a joke about magnesium, but it's a slow-burner.

7. A long time ago I studied classics, you know. Half of it involves learning, and the rest, well, the rest is history.

8. We made a list of things that annoy us about eachother. I said 'poor vocabulary'. She said 'he suffocates me'. I said 'No love, asphyxiates'.

9. What? My dad always told me a gag was the perfect way to get a woman to do what you want.

10. She said she wanted to see other people. It was hard, but eventually I let her out of the cellar.

11. She said she wanted me to speak to her in adult fashion. So I took off my romper suit and sat down.

12. I was out the other night with my girlfriend with her friends and she turned to me and said 'oh will you be nice to my friends tonight?' I looked at her, and then I went... yeah, I just went.

13. I went round to my grandparents the other day – they were writing shit on the wallpaper and chucking food everywhere, so I told em, I said 'act your age will you!' Anyway, I went round the day after and found Grandad with his knob in grandma's mouth whilst he was feastin' on her quim. I wish someone had told me theyd just turned 69.

14. I hate those charity people. My mate decided to run around the world for AIDS. I don't know why he doesn't just go down to Hampstead Heath after dark.

15. Anyone else like chubby girls here? All I do, right, to get a fat girl to remove her clothes is a Ginsters. I like to undress them with my pies.

Ta very much.

The magnesium one could pass, maybe.

I thought these ones had potential.

13 could probably be a bit tighter.

3. Sometimes I like to colour my lawn. Anyway, I dye grass...

I liked this one Laughing out loud

I liked about 12 or so out of the 15 but then again I could never make up my mind

:D

My Favourites:

6. I've got a joke about magnesium, but it's a slow-burner.

7. A long time ago I studied classics, you know. Half of it involves learning, and the rest, well, the rest is history.

Oh - and this:

'13. ... he was feastin' on her quim.'

9. What? My dad always told me a gag was the perfect way to get a woman to do what you want. - could work with the right set-up.

12. I was out the other night with my girlfriend with her friends and she turned to me and said 'oh will you be nice to my friends tonight?' I looked at her, and then I went... yeah, I just went. - would need pitch-perfect delivery.

Yeah, those are the ones that made me smile reading them :)

Knowing your cheeky style of delivery, I think you can get away with these:

3. Sometimes I like to colour my lawn. Anyway, I dye grass...

6. I've got a joke about magnesium, but it's a slow-burner.

This I think would work well as a line in a longer piece:

12. I was out the other night with my girlfriend with her friends and she turned to me and said 'oh will you be nice to my friends tonight?' I looked at her, and then I went... yeah, I just went.

This is just horrible!

13. I went round to my grandparents the other day – they were writing shit on the wallpaper and chucking food everywhere, so I told em, I said 'act your age will you!' Anyway, I went round the day after and found Grandad with his knob in grandma's mouth whilst he was feastin' on her quim. I wish someone had told me theyd just turned 69.

This might work with a trim - something like:

14. My mate decided to run across Europe for AIDS. I don't know why he doesn't just run down the Heath after dark.

6 made me lol. =]

Stu,

these are so good, I can't believe these are jokes you've cut!

I really liked the magnesium jokes, 8-12 are great and all the others were a cut above, I'm looking forward to seeing your set sometime soon.

Pretty much everybody seems to thinks the magnesium joke is a keeper. Maybe time to reconsider, Stu?

Magnesium is the coolest! I remember breaking a water trough in Chemistry with a big-ass piece of Magnesium!

Cheers guys.

Mr Bussel; yeah, thanks for the trim. I was gonna follow it up with a gag about my mate who tried to Make Poverty History by being the first person to shag INSERT FAMOUS CHAV whilst eating INSERT STAPLE WORKING CLASS MEAL HERE in the back of INSERT PIKEY SUPERMARKET.

Please feel free to finish this off for me if you think there's something in it.

Kevin; yeah, maybe I'll give Magnesium gag a try. I wasn't even entirely sure it made sense - I was rubbish at chemistry.

2,3 and 12 were my faves. Maybe they need a good scrubbing down first. Maybe they're just shit.

6 7 and 8 best for me but a lot depends on your style of delivery.
