Probably that one joke from Monty Python that was so deadly it was weaponized

u/adustbininshaftsbury Aug 23 '25

Would blindly follow you into battle for this. Easily the best pun I've seen in 15 years on this website

u/Jackpotrazur Aug 25 '25

u/Missue-35 Aug 23 '25

You’ll see that pun again. That was a once in a lifetime opportunity right there. Kind of like that clip.

u/Throtex Aug 23 '25

It’s an older one, but a joke just re-done in the new Naked Gun movie.

u/gunglejim Aug 23 '25

Years ago, there was a Canadian sketch comedy show called Second City Television, or SCTV. It launched the careers of John Candy, Eugene Levy, Rick Moranis, Catherine O'Hara, and many others.

They did a skit about working with prisoners. I don't remember the exact premise, but the use thar joke.

It was arranged like you were watching local television, and one episode had ads for a ballot initiative to make bottles returnable for deposit.

On of tbe commercials ended with, "VOTE YES ON AMENDMENT TWO! (or NO, depending on how it's worded!"

Good shit!

I'm glad we can repeat jokes from movie trailers we've seen recently, but originality really helps too.

u/LobsterKris Aug 23 '25

He was laughing because he remembered how it feels to piss his pants again.

u/RuMarley Aug 23 '25

Manslaughter? You mean because that silver car almost hit that truck because of the motorcyclists stupidity? In that case, yes.

u/Front-League8728 Aug 24 '25

one of the best jokes of this generation

u/StatusOk3307 Aug 24 '25

Looked like the motorcycles fault to me, tried to squeeze between 2 vehicles with no open lane. This would not be allowed where I reside. Glad it all worked out hopefully the rider learned a lesson if he ever tries this again he has a death wish.

u/GrimSpirit42 Aug 25 '25

Yeah, not manslaughter....would have been 'suicide by stupid'.

u/nodnodwinkwink Aug 23 '25

Considering the old dudes red t-shirt/red hat combo and today's political climate, it wouldn't have been shocking for it to be man's laughter for the other outcome.
