I have a work acquaintance who does this in the most unfunny way. You could say you injured your Achilles tendon, and he'd reply he has an Achilles elevendon, and it's made out of steel and never hurts..

[–] Feathercrown@lemmy.world 49 points 4 months ago (2 children)

This sounds like a joke I have with two of my work acquaintances

[–] Ziglin@lemmy.world 9 points 4 months ago

You're not going to believe this but a third one joined us at my work.

[–] SidewaysHighways@lemmy.world 8 points 4 months ago

All both of em eh?

[–] Ziglin@lemmy.world 28 points 4 months ago (2 children)

The elevendon was funny the rest wasn't :(

[–] starman2112@sh.itjust.works 14 points 4 months ago

Brevity is the soul of wit

[–] Lifter@discuss.tchncs.de 7 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Yes but it wouldn't be funny if they just said "Heh, elevendon". It need a delivery sandwich. Maybe there's a funnier sandwich though.

[–] Lifter@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 4 months ago

"You should get the latest upgrade. (Point down. Pause for effect).... Elevendon."

idk i might find that pretty funny

[–] blazeknave@lemmy.world 8 points 4 months ago

This sounds like a joke I'd make. Most of the time, I'm only making myself chuckle.

[–] Caffeinated_Sloth@lemmy.world 40 points 4 months ago (1 children)

That joke reminds me of a full-length Netflix comedy special I did with my whole family…

That's pretty good, but I prefer The Aristocratter

[–] pyre@lemmy.world 36 points 4 months ago (1 children)

are you kidding this is hilarious.

anyway back to practice with my band, teradeth

[–] The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world 9 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I'm a big fan! My favorite song of yours is Sweating Magazines.

[–] nyctre@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago

They're alright. Leadalica are better, tho. "Two" is a masterpiece.

[–] miss_demeanour@lemmy.dbzer0.com 15 points 4 months ago

We call that banter (also a personality trait) "Topper".

[–] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 13 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I prefer to be more realistic, like House of 999 Corpses and Medium Speed Car.

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 4 points 4 months ago

Yeah, that's pretty good, but my film House of 998 Corpses and 1 Live Orange Cat is sure to be a hit

[–] FenderStratocaster@lemmy.world 12 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Me and my cousin have 2 ongoing bits.

[–] Cruxifux@feddit.nl 10 points 4 months ago (2 children)

Me and my three cousins have four ongoing bits.

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Amongst my cousins and bits ongoing are fear, surprise, and an almost fanatic support of Pope Tim Minchin

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

Your cousin's a classy lady.

[–] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 8 points 4 months ago (3 children)

I have a couple of friends who do the exact same thing .... but it isn't funny or humorous

[–] Today@lemmy.world 7 points 4 months ago (1 children)

It's funnier during the millisecond it's in my head.

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 4 months ago

Story of my life..

[–] Xenny@lemmy.world 4 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Knowing your audience is important

[–] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 5 points 4 months ago

I've given up in telling them any new information at this point.

The funny thing is that they're imagination had dried up and they can't give to share anything new anymore. We're older so as the years go by, it's getting to the point where they start recommending things they already recommended years ago.

[–] Wolf@lemmy.today 2 points 4 months ago

I have three friends who do the same thing but it's funny and humorous!

My favourite actor is Alan Threedyk.
