Yus, yus, usual disclaimers, maybe I'm a joyless cow, etc!
I just find it so painfully unfunny.
Example: one week on bake-off they had to make self saucing puddings. Cue 500 repetitions of "self saaaauuucing" in increasingly poncy, creepy voices.
Further example at school today: Could you help me grab the balls before PE? Cue delighted shrieks and screeches at the word "balls" being used in the same sentence as "grab".
Please say it's not just me who is left cold by this humour?!

I was having a sneaky look at FB at work the other week, unfortunately a friend had posted about the Swiss football team Young Boys and their unfortunately named Wankdorf stadium. Someone asked if they kept many clean sheets. My colleagues gathered round to find out why I was weeping with laughter.

A good Coleman-balls Grin that's funny before we even start ...

"he opened his legs and showed us his style"

Sorry OP I'm a sucker for a good double-entendre

Innuendo Bingo on the Scott Mills R1 show is the Best Thing Ever!

And who could possibly not laugh at the out takes of the Fanny Chmelar question on the Chase...?

They seem to happen at work quite a lot.

An elderly man walked in one day (bakers) and said " ohh I'm just in the mood for a big juicy pie" . I said I've got one of those right here for you. My colleague had to run through to the back of the shop and I could hear her laughing hysterically. I don't know how I managed to serve him. I was on the floor when he left.

Today's episode of Abney and Teal was called 'The Buzzing Thing', I was wetting myself.

There's a photo that goes round the internet of a door in a hospital in I think Northampton:

FAMILY PLANNING ADVICE

Use rear entrance

It ain't what you say, it's the way that you say it . . .

We always laugh if someone asks for big jugs at work.

Andrew - it’s on my profile.

There’s a comment on the internet:-

Oh dear, this is a photoshopped image that’s been wandering around the worldwide web for the past 6 or 7 years and every now and again it resurfaces. I wish I had a pound for every time I’ve had to tell people that this is a spoof sign and we don’t provide family planning advice at Northampton General Hospital

But hey - who cares!

At a restaurant after a family meal and coffee the waiter approached;

Waiter: "Liquors, sir?"
DS: "...Lick your own!!"

ROFL....
