Funniest joke in the world

This is suppose to be the funniest joke in the world... This scientist got paid millions of dollars to research it. I don't think it is even remotely funny. I think what the comedians say about the joke at the bottom of the page is funnier than the joke

Wasn't unfunny, but it was not very funny, I've come up with better stuff in elementary.

Funniest joke in the world? Hardly.

Funny jokes are like this:

Seagull Manager: Flies in, makes a lot of noise, craps on everything, then leaves.

Salmon Career: You fight the current, go against the flow, and just when you think you've made it to the top you get screwed and die.

Here's a funnier joke than that:

How many babies does it take to paint a wall?

One, if you throw it hard enough.

It's one of those that you chuckle at but not really laugh. Definetly not the funniest joke in the world.

Might have something to do with differences in culture. It is supposed to be the funniest joke in the world, not just the U.S. or Britain. Then again I still don't think its the funniest joke in the world even considering that.

I think a funnier joke is the fact that a guy got millions of dollars and this was the best he could come up with. Or the one where a guy called for a hooker and it was his daughter, oh wait that really happened.

And had a heart attack. And was divorced. Now that's comedy. The poor bastard.

I thought the Hunter joke was funny, but not the funniest in the whole world.

I liked these two jokes funnier than the hunter joke.

"The bar gets quiet as everyone listens to see what the other weasel will do.

"The first again yells, 'I SLEPT WITH YOUR MOTHER!'

"The other says: 'Go home, Dad, you're drunk.'"

Everyone has their own favorite "funniest" joke, however most people can't agree on it. This particular joke just had the most votes. That might only be 2% of the population, but thats more then any of the jokes you think are funny. So yes, it is the funniest joke in the world. I rather like the #1 and the runner up. Not what I think are the funniest, but I like both of them.

The joke is that the 'funniest joke in the world' can only ever really be funny if it's done as a sketch on radio.

If it had been on the Goon Show, it would be funny.

The funniest joke is so funny, it can't be told in it's entirety, because if it is, you'll laugh yourself to .

Considering how people are easily entertained these days, you could get anyone to laugh themself to if you say "penis" loud enough.
