DT’s playing the long game. Eventually the ridiculousness of repeating that joke so many times will become hilarious.
This is hilarious…does it still count when he makes the joke at 2:29 like he did?
Also I’m sure he knows this one:
“You’re a rabid anti-dentite!”
I find this funny. It takes some thought but not much and kind of clean dad joke. I suggest taking your daughter to a specialist if she has had a head injury lately. It’s a dad joke. DT first time funny second time less funny after that not funny.
That was my grandma’s (RIP) favorite joke, but with a mildly racist twist to it.
Her version was “What time does the Chinaman go to the dentist?”
Back in the early 90’s I worked for an English company. My boss, David M
Jagger, told me that joke. Though funny, I always thought the humorous part was an English man with any dentist appointment.
For those old enough, in fairness, this was David Letterman’s bit for a decent amount of time near the end of his career – if a joke falls flat, repeat until it becomes a meta-gag and people laugh at the setup itself.
I actually and in real life took off my glasses, rested my face in the palm of my hand, and just… just really had to take a step back and think about things for a minute.
And you suggested wanting to work for these people???
If it gets us the notification bell, I’m willing to do what it takes.
If you can get that bell back you’ll be doing the Lord’s work.
Jason’s clarification of “like, MOUTH teeth” is really amusing for some reason.
I first heard the 2:30 joke on the Discovery Channel show ‘Dirty Jobs’ in… 2008? Like DT, Mike Rowe (Dirty Jobs host) did not work blue on the show.
I don’t even know what work blue means, but I loved that show.
He was super corny. Is that a Gooey Duck in your pocket, or are you just happy shashimi? Then there are his classic Micro-Mike Row jokes.
I loved that show, too, and learned a lot – mostly about how I didn’t want to do any of those jobs. 🙂 But Mike always kept it rated G or possibly PG.
“Blue” is a term (now quite obsolete) that was applied to comedians in the PGC era. (PGC = Pre George Carlin) It meant that their material was lewd and/or used foul language.
In fact, since you’ve been making some pop culture progress (BttF, Simpsons) I’ll mention that Troy McClure described the 10:00pm shiva show (part of Krusty’s funeral) as being only for people 18 and up because “it gets a little blue”.
“Blue” is still used in the comedy crowd, as evidenced in its usage by my roughly thirty year-old nephew and his girlfriend who are very involved in the LA improv scene.
As I understand things, the “Blue” comes from a restaurant serving a steak that is so near to completely uncooked that ” too rare” doesn’t adequately describe it. Blue equals “Raw” so blue humor is raw humor…
That is hilarious DT. Smart people get your jokes I laughed out loud or LOL. I loved Mike Rowe the show etc. But I get some members aren’t as erudite as the rest of us.
Democrats think it’s funny Republicans are offended
Not blue
The other kind
Well the TH 400 automatic transmission has a 2.30 first gear, so there’s that
Ugh, this is like whenever I ask my wife how long something is going to take, she breaks into song with “FIVE-HUNDRED TWENTY FIVE THOUSAND SIX HUNDRED MINUTES”. This happens I’d say, 3 times a week. She’ll jam that joke in any time she can, even when it doesn’t 100% make sense.
I cringe every time, but I’ve grown to accept it.
This has been stuck in my head since I read this (hours ago) and I HATE IT
It’ll still be stuck in your head FIVE-HUNDRED TWENTY FIVE THOUSAND SIX HUNDRED MINUTES from now
Oh yeah, you get it.
Maybe ask eastern or Pacific time? Or metric or standard time? Grenich mean time? Or does this give us enough time for naked fun time and drop trousers? You need to think out of the pants.
Welcome to my world! Lol.
Yet you know she is going to do it? Maybe not set her up?
I have a friend who constantly sings the wrong words to that song just to drive his former musical stage actress wife insane. SIX HUNDRED FORTY-FIVE THOUSAND ONE HUNDRED MINUTES!
I think what’s funniest about this is that he’s typing the joke that only works aloud, not like where the general keeps his armies.
Or the one about why the Norwegians put bar codes on their naval vessels.
Please,I seriously don’t know this joke.
So they can scan-the-navy-in.
*head slap*
I tend to say it phonetically as “scan-da-navy-in”, but yeah, that’s the answer.
Oh Christ.. Thanks though,haven’t heard that before,possibly because I’m Norwegian. The joke definitely works better in English:-D
Missed a major opportunity by not posting this at 2:30
He was busy at the dentist
Why was he at the dentist?
And yes, I’m setting it up…
Gold
Gold-tooth-hurty?
