| EIGHT EXCELLENT SCI-FI and FANTASY JOKES for "THE BIG BANG THEORY" |
| written by Scott Warner |
| I wanted to submit these eight excellent sci-fi and fantasy jokes to The Big Bang Theory but I was never able to find an address to which I could send them. I hoped that they would be used in a "can-you-top-this" contest. RAJ: Hey, I've got a really good "Alice in Wonderland" joke. The Caterpillar was suffering from a bad case of hemorrhoids, so he went to the apothecary shop. The pharmacopolist, Dr. Dodo, recommended a toadstool softener. BERNADETTE: That's cute but try this. If Captain Kirk got married, Spock could not be the Best Man. He would have to be the Best Half-Man, Half-Vulcan. SHELDON: Oh, I can beat that! What did one orc say to the other orc? Nothing. He was too busy dining on a rebellious compatriot and besides his 'mother' always told him "Keep your mouth full, don't talk." STUART: Hahaha, that's really funny! Have you ever wondered why orcs wear pointy metal combat boots? [makes horizontal vee shape with his hands] Prowed feet. AMY: I have a joke about "Lord of the Rings" too. What do you see if you pull down the armored underwear of Dr. Doom? The Crack of Doom! LEONARD: Okay, my turn. How many androids does it take to screw in a light bulb? It doesn't matter how many androids you insert into a light bulb, they still won't screw. This punchline inverts the meaning of the set-up twice so perfectly that it supersedes all other numerical type answers. Not only is it a very good joke in itself, it's also a joke about a (light bulb) joke. Therefore I consider it a form of meta-joke. However I decided to try to writing a numerical punchline just for comparison. HOWARD: How many androids does it take to screw in a light bulb? Two: one to drop his pants and bend over, the other one to screw it in. And guess what, it lights up! PENNY: Hey I got one too. What was Lord Denethor's favorite rock'n'roll song? The WHOLE GANG in unison: Light My Pyre! |
