Sean Connery Joke Thread (Vol 9)

Erm... The points over here... What does his colour add to the joke?

Yes, I know.

I was making light of the subject because Vipers retold a joke which he admitted was old, and now people want to analyse its faults. The only way to answer the question 'what does 'coloured chappie' add?" is to explain why it was there in the first place, and that would cause this part of the internet to implode.

I was using humour to reflect the racism back on itself, and to try to derail a potentially unpleasant journey.

I hadn't bargained on poeple already being sufficiently incensed to miss my point.

Well, without him, there's no punchline.

Brilliant, possibly the best joke since the group captain one.

I’ve deleted the phone numbers of all the Germans I know from my mobile phone. Now it’s Hans free.

...and you can show your Mum and say: "Look Mum! No Hans!"

As if they would. What is the world (PH) coming too??

I cut my finger chopping cheese, but I think that I may have greater problems.

The insinuation is that, without the amazing shark-beating feat, the billionaire dad would never agree to let anyone other than whitey near his own flesh and blood. That's the reason it's in there - otherwise it's a totally superfluous detail.

Which is why anyone in their right mind would take it out before posting the joke. This is not the usual kitten dissection, it's important.

At best, we can say its pointless filler and added nothing. At worst, the poster was trying to get a cheap laugh from casual racism. In either scenario, it made the joke worse (and wasn't a particularly good joke to begin with).

Just for the record, I wasn't after a cheap laugh from casual racism at all. I saw the picture joke and it reminded me of the one I added, I didn't think "Hmm I'll post this for a cheap laugh", the only thing I did think about was the wording of it.

I posted in a form I thought would be acceptable in this day and age of all PC stuff etc. People should stop analysing every word some people say and post.

Anyway I have made my point, so let's all move on.

Have you heard about the elderly mobility aid that plays music?




It's called a Hans Zimmer Frame.

This is a joke thread. Why do people feel the need to comment on them? Some are funny, some are not. Some are PC. Some are not.

Different to, or different from. Not different than.

What’s the difference between a chickpea and a lentil?

I’ve never paid to have a lentil on my face.

It's an old joke from the past .
Get over it .
Dissection isn't going to change it .
