Beat the Edinburgh Fringe Perrier Award

Pstotto · Post by **Pstotto** » Wed Aug 04, 2021 12:36 am

Each Edinburgh Fringe has a Perrier Award for the best joke.

This an alternative competition thread for any would-be contender for the best joke, informally and no prize.

I'm putting forward my joke as follows:

A man gets a greyhound from a pet rescue centre and to help each get to know each other, the rescue centre had created an app. whereby the owner and the dog's interaction was filmed and the app. described what was going on.

The next morning the owner gets up early and shouts 'Walkies' and the dog doesn't respond and instead sways its head and neck and whines, so he gets the app. out and tries again and records it and the same things happens so he presses the app. and it replies 'The dog is saying that it doesn't get out of bed for less than $10,000.

So what was the punchline? Did you miss that off the end?

I have actually been to the Edinbugh Fringe and attended numerous "gigs" set up in tiny beer gardens, back yards and basement cellars etc, where the 6 cast members actually outnumber the audience and tbh, Pstotto's joke is one of the funniest I've heard. (Draw your own conclusions about some of the "talent" on show at said fringe festival!!

)

Pstotto · Post by **Pstotto** » Thu Aug 05, 2021 9:45 am

I have actually performed at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival and we were awful but we made a profit just about with quite a good audience figure of about 40 a night for a week's showing.

When they give the awards out for jokes they're often seem beatable so I've had a go.

I have seen some good shows at The Assembly Rooms which is a bit quite a big Fringe gig and costs quite a bit to hire.

40 years ago nearly since I've been, though.

DC, I'm glad somebody likes my joke.

There's a comedian on stage and he says to the audience "Just supposing Donovan had bought Watford instead of Elton John" and then he starts singing:

"Chiedozie Chiedozie
Chiedozie Chiedozie
Chiedozie Chiedozie
He played

Chiedozie Chiedozie
Chiedozie Chiedozie
Chiedozie Chiedozie
He played."

And a member of the audience shouts out "Chiedozie never played for Watford" and the comedian replies "Donovan never managed them either."

The Chinese have taken over and the culture ministry are going over children's nursery rhymes and they get to Peter and Paul and so they listen to a recording and it goes "Fly away Peter, fly away Paul, come back Peter come back Paul."

...And the culture minister representative think and says replace it with this: Come back soon.

Pstotto · Post by **Pstotto** » Fri Aug 06, 2021 9:38 pm

If you check google translate and for Chinese you write 'soon' the English translation is 'soon.'

However if you do it the other way round and The Chinese translation of the English meaning of 'soon' it says 'hen kuai.'

That's not linguistically fair, is it?

This English bloke he can't pull Scottish lassies so he consults online and it says 'You don't look like Scott's Porridge oats."

Bloke takes the Greyhound back to the pet rescue center as the don't get on but he keeps the 'getting on' app.

He goes down town and he sees this barmaid from Dartford who used to live in the flat below him and he looks over and she scowls back and he has it on record so he tries out the app. and it says 'She doesn't like you because you don't look like Bob Hoskins.'

This is the pet recuse center get along with your dog app.?

Candid Camera 1965 etc.

Pstotto · Post by **Pstotto** » Sat Aug 07, 2021 1:28 pm

...Or is it showing off that THEY ARE 'F*K U paint something for me' art for the in-crowd at Cartier or is it proud to be international supporters of 'F*k U buy some lousy art off me.'?

... And that's the joke and it serves good press use for keeping the plebs in the dark about something going on 'over their heads' and as such it media performs the role of socially mobile exclusion burlesque to keep everyone else green with envy like the broadsheet media and the more mediocre the more galling it is to everyone else.

If it were a Hancock script it fits but that's all it is.

A bloke goes in to a bar with a spool of yarn and says to the patrons, “I’ll buy you all a drink if only you can unravel this.”

So, wanting a free drink, a chap at the bar takes the spool and starts unraveling it.

Two hours later, the landlord calls time and the chap still hasn’t managed to do it.

“I don’t understand. It looks like a normal spool of yarn.”

The bloke replies, “it’s one of those pstotto ones. Nobody ever gets to the end of those threads.”

You have your business model and you can paradigm shift it as a model applicable to all business transaction like Marx and The The Work of Art in The Age of Mechanical Reproduction, but he misses out art theory.

So it's a paper thin wafer of Semtex 10 M x 5 M and there's a Sodium foil on it and water soluble paint on top of that and... Marx?

A bit silly on that level.

More silly... Missing out art theory and when art theory was there i.e. 2D shape represents 3D form... Edinburgh College of Art agree?
