Things that will always be funny no matter what

I'm trying to construct a list of things that, no matter how overused or overexposed they become, will always make us laugh in the face of logic, compassion, or even good taste. This is what I have so far:

- a clown on fire
- the 1960s Batman movie
- All Your Base Are Belong to Us (the phrase itself, not the Flash movie)
- the fact that Argentina is overrun with beavers

Care to add?

-Popcorn's mom
-Shadow The Hedgehog
-The Atari ET

Quite a few more that I can't recall at the moment.

The word poo-poo. Everybody says it a little bit different and it's always high-larious. My all-time favorite was this chick Kelly who used to work at some shampoo place right next door to GameStop. She had an enormous nose and an enormous butt, which I guess was an evolutionary necessity for ballast. Anyway, I asked her to say it once, and she refused a couple of times before finally uttering a perplexed, halfway disgusted "pyu-pyu" as though she were too dainty to shit.

Anyway, it's alot of fun to see how many different ways there are to say poo-poo, and you learn alot about a person by the manner in which they say it.

My avatar, it has been 2 years since I created it and is still funny.

Monkey island: the best graphic adventure ever made and maybe the funniest.

- Retards
- Midgets
- Fatties
- The elderly
- Basically any mental or physical disability is always hilarious to me
- Pain, misfortune, death
- Women's rights
- Racism

I'm well aware that my list is highly offensive, but that's why I find it funny. I've probably got a list of non-offensive things that are just as funny, but right now this is all I can come up with.

An 80-year-old retarded, fat, racist-yet-effemenate and very, VERY cancerous midget would make you go poo-poo, then?

The fact that I still come here. Why, why do I hang around?

I've actually seen that happen twice. It is pretty funny.

I've seen parakeets intentionally ram themselves into walls and doors. Repeatedly.

I haven't the slightest clue why, they certainly weren't blind.

The bird usually dies depending on how high the window is.

Not right away, though. Once I saw a sparrow smack into a large glass display at a zoo and it was still alive, though totally stunned. I'm sure it died later.

The biology building at ULL has these large glass windows and when you're on the second floor, you can look down at the arches above the doorways and there are all these bird corpses in various states of decomposition. I think it's funny that it's on the biology building.

When I was in second grade I had a really weird teacher. One of her hobbies (maybe it was her only one) was obtaining dead birds, freezing them, then bringing them to class to pass around while telling stories about them. A couple of her memorable bird deaths:
- Birds flying into bay windows on her house
- A woodpecker knocking itself out by attacking its image in the mirror on her car
- Birds becoming unable to fly after consuming fermented berries... that she set out.
I think this was a little traumatizing for some 7 year olds, but I didn't mind the gruesome stories as much as handling thawing bird remains.

I will second "black tar heroin" as always being funny. And I will add <a href="http://toothpastefordinner.com/083005/b ... .gif">this comic</a> to the list.
