I graduated in the half of the class that made the top half look good, so I didn't get all these intellectual jokes:

50 People On ‘The Most Intellectual Joke I Know’ | Thought Catalog

My favorites:


Is it solipsistic in here, or is it just me?


A biologist, a chemist, and a statistician are out hunting. The biologist shoots at a deer and misses 5ft to the left, the chemist takes a shot and misses 5ft to the right, the statistician yells “We got ‘em!”

    I already posted my fav of this kind but this is it in case anyone missed it.

    Descartes walks into the bar and the bartender asks him if he'd like to try a shot of the 100 year old scotch he just opened. Descartes says "I think not" and disappears.

      Great one. They used yours for the pull quote at the top of the article. Honors!

      This is a dumb one from the list but it made me lol:

      "Helium walks into a bar and orders a beer, the bartender says, "Sorry, we don’t serve noble gases here.” He doesn’t react."

      Oy vey, I'm laughing too much at these:

      "Wife walks in on husband, a string theorist, in bed with another woman. He shouts, “I can explain everything!”"

    Mahatma Gandhi was known to frequently walk barefoot and consequently the soles of his feet became thick and very hard. He also was, of course, known to be a man of deep spiritual conviction. He undertook hunger strikes as a political protest and at times was both thin and frail. Furthermore, due to his weird diet, he suffered from bad breath. VERY bad breath.



    In other words, he was a a super-callused fragile mystic hexed by halitosis.

    It IS interesting how you can make jokes from failed jokes!

    There WAS one earlier that said:

    Two chemists walk into a bar....
    1. First chemist.... I would like h20
    2. Second Chemist... I would like some h20 too.
    3. Second chemist DIES....

    HERE....

    Two chemists walk into a bar....
    1. First chemist.... I would like h20
    2. Second Chemist... I would like some water too.
    3. First chemist distraught that his homicide attempt failed.

      An infinite number of mathematicians walk into a bar (true story ). The first says, "I'll have a beer." The second one says, "I'll have half a beer." The third says, "I'll have a quarter of a beer."

      The barman brings out just two beers.

      The mathematicians protest: "That's all you're giving us? How drunk do you expect us to get on that?"

      The bartender says, "Come on guys. Know your limits."

        I don't know any "intellectual" jokes, but I know a "brilliant" one...

        One day, Miss Finch was giving the class a lesson on grammar. "I want someone to use the word brilliant, in the same sentence twice".

        "My father bought my brilliant mother a brilliant dress", said Little Mary.

        "My mother planned a brilliant banquet and it turned out brilliantly", said Little Jack.

        Then Little Johnny spoke up, "Last night at the dinner table, my sister told my dad that she was pregnant. He said, 'Brilliant, just f---ing brilliant!"

        All the passengers on a small plane are a quite surprised when the pilots arrive. The pilots walk up the aisle, both wearing dark glasses. One has a guide dog, the other is tapping his way along with a white-tipped cane.

        The cockpit door closes, the engines start up.

        The plane moves faster and faster down the runway. People by the windows realize they're heading right towards the water at the end of the runway.

        Panic ensues and screams fill the air. At that very moment the plane lifts smoothly into the air, and all the passengers relax and laugh a little sheepishly.

        Meanwhile, in the cockpit, the co-pilot turns to the pilot. "Y'know, Joe," he says. "One day they're going to scream too late, and we're all gonna die."

          Four farmers were sat down in a bar. At the table next to them sat a young girl.

          The first man said, "I think it's WOOMB."

          The second replied, "No, it must be WOOOOMBH."

          The third said, "You both have it wrong -- it's WOOM."

          The fourth stated, "No, it has to be WOOMMMMBBB."

          At this, the young lady could stand it no longer. She got up, walked over to the farmers and said, "Look. It's WOMB. That's it, that's all there is to it." Then she left.

          Eventually, one of the farmers broke the silence by saying, "Well. I don't know. A young girl like that. I don't see how she could know. I'll bet she's never even heard a bull fart".

              Forty days pass, the great flood recedes, and Noah and his family are settling in. Noah's wife notices that all the animals are starting to reproduce, except for a pair of snakes. She asks Noah about it, and he says he'll take care of it.

              A week later, Noah brings his wife out to the workshop and shows her the snakes in their basket on top of a wooden table he'd just built. "How is this going to get them to reproduce?" she asks. "Trust me," he replies.

              A few days, she notices there are eggs in the basket. She is delighted and asks Noah how the wooden table could have possibly helped. He says, "My dear, even adders can multiply on a log table."

                A pastor, a doctor and a theorist are on a golf course behind an especially slow group. When the marshal comes around, they decide to mention it to him. He tells them the slow play is because it is a group of blind firefighters, who saved the clubhouse from a fire that blinded them, so they get to play for free.

                The pastor proclaims, "That is terrible, I will say a prayer for them."

                The doctor says, "I can contact an ophthalmologist friend who has done wonders with the blind."

                The theorist asks, "Why don't they just play at night?"

                  During the French revolution a priest, a drunk, and an engineer are sent to the guillotine. They ask the priest if he wants to face up or down when he meets his fate. The priest says he would like to face up so he will be looking towards heaven when he dies. They raise the blade of the guillotine and release it. It comes speeding down and suddenly stops just inches from his neck. The authorities take this as divine intervention and release the priest.

                  The drunkard comes to the guillotine next. He also decides to die face up, hoping that he will be as fortunate as the priest. They raise the blade of the guillotine and release it. It comes speeding down and suddenly stops just inches from his neck. Again, the authorities take this as a sign of divine intervention, and they release the drunkard as well.

                  Next is the engineer. He also decides to die facing up. As they slowly raise the blade of the guillotine, the engineer suddenly says, "Hey, I see what your problem is . . . "

The bad news is that you have a serious brain disease and will die without treatment. The good news is that this hospital has developed a new procedure for brain transplants and due to a car accident this morning two 'fresh' brains are available: one is from a taxi driver and the other is from a scientist. The brain of the taxi driver costs $225,000, while that of the scientist is only $29.95." Puzzled, the patient asked, "Why is the scientist's brain was so much cheaper?" The doctor replied, "It's used."
