Don't get it

For all those maddening often famous jokes you don't get.

Now the BCG brain's trust can try and solve your puzzle.

1 What's up? Chicken Butt!

Give an example of a maddening famous joke.

That one turns up in an American films all the time.

A chicken's butt is up because it's head it pecking at food on the floor. Simples. Not funny, but true.

I've never heard that chicken butt joke before.

The first joke I ever remember was from a Lolly stick.
Why did the Orange stop rolling.
Because it ran out of juice.

I did have to ask my Dad to explain it, and It still wasn't funny despite making sense.
Didn't stop me trying to tell it though.
I dropped it from my set when I later had a Lolly stick with the Chimney joke on it.

I thought they pecked rather than butted.

Which came first?
The Chicken Butt Joke or the Egg Butt Joke?

* I don't know any Egg Butt jokes.

Whenever those colloquial American jokes come up in my house I always turn to my partner and say "Gabby Hayes big!" in reference to a really obscure Simpsons gag.

Why don't you just marry America David.

No you don't, you are pointing down to your open flies with beer dribbling out of your mouth,pizza dropping onto the carpet and she always replies 'I don't care what you call it and why are feminising it... oh yes I see what you mean! Well she's not so big is she!'

It's what Matthew told me anyway.

This doesn't feel like a Marc P post.

I'm adaptable. My agent told me to get more edgy.
