(Pp again. I'm taking about the one he tells Jerry Seinfeld in Comedians in Cars. Google it and watch the video clip. It plays better out loud than on paper, imo)


Solomon, an elderly Holocaust survivor, dies and goes to heaven. When he gets there, he asks to tell God a joke. God agrees and Solomon tells the Almighty a Holocaust joke. When he’s finished, God doesn’t laugh. “I guess you had to be there,” Solomon says.



I'm Jewish and I laughed out loud.


Think about this some more, I think you missed the point. Solomon is criticizing G@d.

When you say the punchline in your head, try singing it to the tune of the Lone Ranger theme song.

AKA the William Tell Overture


Is this a super old people thing? Boomers? I'm 40 and have zero idea what either of these are.


It's unusual for you not to know William Tell Overture or The Lone Ranger. Did you not grow up in the US? Or maybe you didn't watch TV growing up? I'm 45, so it's not like I was watching the Lone Ranger in it's prime. But it's a widely known and used pop culture reference. And the song is in countless cartoons. My 7yo recognizes it, so it's not a generational thing.


I'm the AKA PP. I agree that it is unusual that you don't know either of those references. No, it's not just a super old thing.

The William Tell Overture is one of the most well known pieces of classical music and has been used for many media productions (of various media forms), the Lone Ranger being one of the most well known. But The William Tell Overture is played for many 4th of July fireworks festivals and is frequently used as an underscore to shows, comedies and cartoons. If you listen to it, I'm betting you'll recognize it and realize that you knew it, but just didn't know the name.


Once someone disparages a thing as "super old people" or "Boomer" they're highly unlikely to back down. Better to look like a jerk than an idiot.


I'm the clueless 40 yo PP. I was testing about boomer I accept I was incorrect, I just did not know what it was called. Happy to be educated! Thank you - and now that I youtubed it and played it, my toddler is watching firework videos on my phone haha!

Is this joke "better" or more philosophical if Soloman says at the end..."I guess you should have been there." ?

4.USA Today is read by people who think they ought to run the country but don't really understand The New York Times.

5.The Los Angeles Times is read by people who wouldn't mind running the country, if they could find the time and if they didn't have to leave Southern California to do it.

6. The Boston Globe is read by people whose parents used to run the country.

Best movie/book quote humor

(can't remember where this one came from)

Husband gets home from work--

Wife: "How was your day."
Husband: "Fine."
Wife: "You never tell me anything."
Husband: "I just did."


A River Runs Through It--

"They were Methodists, a denomination my father referred to as 'Baptists who could read.'"

I can’t imagine anyone finding this the least bit funny.




Then your imagination is as stunted as your sense of humor.

And when the monk paid and asked for his change, the vendor said, "Change must come from within."
