Would you find this funny?


If you were sitting at a bar and two men were having a conversation about football. And the one guy is obviously kind of naive about the sport. The naive guy asks the other what his favorite team is. The other fella responds "the niners". The naive guy looks at him kind of stumped and says "San Fransisco 69'ers" back. The fan cracks up laughing hysterically as well as a few others who overheard it. The naive guy replies, well I'm sure that it's a double digit and not just a single. And the fan replies "the 49ers". Is that really that funny? Myself I've only ever heard of "69" spoken of before and not "49". Where's the relevance?

reply

Yes its funny.
1849 gold rush is the relevance.

Yes I are.

I hate sports so any time anyone asks me questions like "Who you got for the Stuperbowl?" I say something like "The Dodgers, 'cause I think Carmelo Anthony is a great goalie!".

Roger Federer is the greatest boxer of all time and everyone knows it!

reply

Oh you just love roger don’t you

reply

He was as good a boxer as Eli Manning was a pitcher and that's saying something!

Gosh, watch some ESPN you weirdo!!

reply

Hey you leave Eli out of this! He’s done nothing but good things for New York !

reply

Oh yeah, well your face has done nothing good for anybody!!!

Ooh, feel that burn!

reply

I have an Eli jersey . I’m gonna put it on and pretend I’m him. Then throw a football at your face! Hard !

reply

Well that's just hurtful and I am offended!

I will catch the ball and chuck it directly at your belly!!

reply

You caught the ball ? Wanna play for the giants ? We could use a guy like you.

reply

LOL, well done, I have no answer for that

THIS RIDICULOUSLY STUPID FEUD IS NOT OVER!!!

reply

Perfect reply!

Never heard the term "Miner 49'er?"

Not really funny but remember that there is always a baseline security joke that people use like a tight rope safety net. From as old as "So I bit 'em" and "Luke, I am your father" to modern ">insert Republican name< is dumb, huh?" So You have to allow for people clinging to unfunny shit or they'd wallow in a joyless life. Not exactly like your scenario but indicative of a person's ability to find any lame thing funny. An Eskimo would laugh at you if you didn't know their most common word for snow. Especially if your guess was a euphemism for mutual simultaneous oral sex.
A similar phenomenon exists in what people find attractive in others. Put a random person on the spot and they will 90% likely say the name of the most popular actress/actor at the time.

Most of us have some minor aspect of ourselves that is sheep style if only because we don't have the time to know any better.
