[@AlmostEthical]

He looks like he's imagining how the goodly burghers in the audience will react to the next line,, and it cracks him up.

Come on! I have much more of those! You can have them for a price, and you won't need so many tedious pauses! Ok, man! You were young then! I forgive you!

[@Mackeson3]

One of the funniest things I have ever heard was when one of our teachers came into the classroom laughing his head off. He had just been reading a leaflet in the staffroom that had been sent to each school ( From the education dept. or whatever ) about suggestions on how to teach teenage kids about ...well, "The facts of life" for want of a better phrase. Thus it began :-"Imagine Mummy has an engine in her tummy and Daddy has a starting handle". Of course we were all in hysterics! Then he said "Honestly, this is for real, this is actually what they have sent us, for teaching FIFTEEN year olds!"

[@wojciechgac]

If this is how they do it in the education dept., no wonder they come up with such wonderful ideas :D.

yeah, like in a joke magazine or something. with most things like this in comedy (EG: most comedians BS hypothetical stories) it'd be funny if it was real, but if you are just making shit up to hit a fake punchline, it loses 80% of the hilarity- and i just have a hard time believing its real.
