Observation - what do you think?

Could possibly be used in a stand up set?

Have you ever noticed those mugs that say 'World's best Dad'? How can that possibly be true if they're selling 50 of them at one time?

But I know what it is - everyone buys loads of presents and queues up outside the same guy's house on Father's Day.

Man1: "Are you here for the Father's day?"
Man2: "Yes, he's a hell of a man!"
Man1: "So he is! Took the family up this year to see him"

----

Man: Oh look its the three wise men! Are you here for Jesus of Nazareth?

Wise man1: "No, were here for Keith of Grimsby?"

Wise man2: "That's right, we've bought him gifts - I have brought him this mug"

Wise man1: "And I have brought this DVD Boxset of House Series 2"

Man: "And you have brought?"

Less-wise man 3: "Oh me? Oh, no I'm just tagging really.."

Man: ?

Less-wise man 3: "all right...I'm Here for the wife." (Holds up durex)

Sorry Juan, maybe it's just me or that it's late and I'm tired but .... I don't get it. At all?

Yeah I'm in the same boat as Trollheart here. I didn't see the jokes, just the slightly random.

I think the 50 World's best Dad mugs has lots of potential though. Perhaps a dad could get his mug rescinded when alcohol is declared a performance enhancing drug.

Oh I was getting at the fact that you can't have 50 'world's best' Dads, seeing as its a superlative there can only be one. You can't have two cleverest boys for example - you can only have two 'clever' boys.

I like it Juan

Yeah, I got that part, but the three wise men thing just sailed over me and is about to land at Gatwick, particularly the last sentence..?

Dad mug, pretty average. The 3 Wise men not funny, its a typical 'Bloke gets out a durex' tag ending. Just my ruminations.

Three wise men meant as in even they - who should be looking for Jesus - are in fact stopping to give this Dad a mug - because all of the mugs in the store are for ONE PERSON instead of everyone's individual dads..

That was the joke but hey lets move on!

Tough crowd.

"Have you ever noticed those mugs that say 'World's best Dad'? How can that possibly be true if they're selling 50 of them at one time?"

That's got potential on it's own as a one liner, if you do some rejiggling with it. Wouldn't bother with the next few lines- it's just watering down the punchline.

I really don't get the wise man bit, even with your explaination!
