World's Funniest Joke... No really it's rated as the funniest joke...

A study called LaughLab sought out to find the world's funniest joke. Over 40,000 jokes were submitted from over 70 countries. People logged on to rate them 1-5 and this was the highest rated joke:

Two hunters from New Jersey are out in the woods when one of them falls to the ground. He doesn't seem to be breathing. The other whips out his mobile phone and calls the emergency services. He gasps out to the operator: "My friend is dead. What can I do?" The operator in a calm soothing voice says, "Just take it easy. First let's make sure he's dead." There is silence, then a shot is heard. The guy's voice comes back on the line. He says, "Okay, now what?"

Pretty funny but I don't think it's the funniest in the world.

  1. I think maybe the fact that they think that joke is the "World's Funniest Joke" is funnier than the joke itself.

    Why rednecks can't be paramedics

    A couple of rednecks are out in the woods hunting when one of them suddenly grabs his chest and falls to the ground. He doesn't seem
    to be
    breathing, and his eyes are rolled back in his head.
    The other redneck whips out his cell phone and calls 911. He gasps to the operator, "I think Bubba is dead! What should I do?"
    The operator, in a calm soothing voice says, "Just take it easy and follow my instructions. First, let's make sure he's 'dead'."

    There is a silence... then a shot is heard.

    The redneck's voice comes back on the line, "Okay, now what?"

    From August 2008:
