is this the Worlds Funniest Joke

[gengi]

Two hunters are out in the woods when one of them collapses. He doesn't seem to be breathing and his eyes are glazed. The other guy whips out his phone and calls the emergency services. He gasps: "My friend is dead! What can I do?" The operator says: "Calm down, I can help. First, let's make sure he's dead." There is a silence, then a shot is heard. Back on the phone, the guy says: "OK, now what?"

Hehe.. ok, a good joke posted on these boards for a change.

One conclusion of the study was that Germans found just about everything funny.

Now that's not funny.

I really dont think the joke is funny, worlds funniest joke my ass

 

[old.LandShark]

Very few jokes are funny if you say "this is scientifically speaking the world's funniest joke" before telling them.
Still, no. It's not hilarious exactly...

 

[Danya]

It's somewhat amusing, but not side-splittingly funny. A slight smirk at best.

Or indeed a joke that is so funny it needs to be split into 8 pieces before being assembled, translated and used in the war effort.

Listen you crazy Americans, Monty Python really wasn't all that funny.

Apart from the films...

 

[SFXman]

Hmm, well I mean that joke has a wide appeal and thus only the smirk...
The jokes that get you to laugh so hard your abs explode are usually funny to a certain group of people.

what was that thing in the newspaper about the worlds funniest jokes?

i think the one voted by scotland was...

A man says to his friend when questioned on how he would like to die, "I want to die like my grandfather, in his sleep... Not like his passenger, screaming in terror."

or some thing like that... i can't remember it properly

the first time i read that it was rather funny methinks.
