The clerk says, "why the long reading list?" Oh, hey, cupcakeninja has made a post for lists of "classic novels that bring the laughs."
Cracking jokes
Gorgik had a question about a joke Tina Fey made and peppercorn slid into Ask MetaFilter to give a fuller context to the answer, thank you!
Tool Check
Not enough of these. (adze re-enactment tool via daegradtools.com)
At some point someone dared to wonder, "what if a time-displaced MMA-fightin' Viking orphan became a carpenter's apprentice to Jesus of Nazareth?" and voila, a movie was born! But of all the tools in this production, which ones are most wrong? Jedicus helps us see the light.

lianove3 recently came home to a suspicious Amazon package with no label and a threatening aura. Was it a bomb? What to do? Should the movie version of this thread star Brad Pitt and Morgan Freeman? Was it all worth it just for this pun? Find out in the comments!
Where's the new The Good Place?
Eyelash would like recs for funny shows with a similar vibe, especially if they have philosophy as a central theme.

You may be wary of the speed bump that is a dad joke, but JHarris's sharing of the the website fatherhood.gov and its treasure trove of Dad Jokes, will help you get over that! :)
Loons, so many loons
"nice to see someone leaning in to the core imagery of the loon as a red-eyed nightmare being by really focusing in on the eye part to the exclusion of the rest of the bird; I feel like this is the one Minnesotan who's going to be straight with me about the Horrors" – taquito sunrise.

It's Throwback Thursday to early 2021 (doesn't that seem like forever ago?!) when 'dances_with_sneetches' asked "What are some things that make you laugh every time you think of them?". The hivemind responds with its best!

If the leopard caucuses long enough with the face eating party, maybe look askance when it asks you for butterfly kisses. That's all I'm saying. Good general advice, and too-good-to-pass-up quote from sciatrix in the thread on The Next Front in the GOP’s War on Women: No-Fault Divorce from hydra77.
