You know the one. The dumb joke you chuckled at that now just comes out unbidden at random times.

There was an intentionally bad discovery channel commercial with some Mexicans dressed up as meteors entering earths atmosphere and burning up. Deadpan delivering "aaaahhhhh. The atmospheeeeere. Aaahhhhh"

That just pops into my head every so often. Me and my best friend thought it was hilarious back in the 90's. Cause it was.

"But the water's clean".

Many years ago when a friend and I stopped at a rest stop and the sinks looked dirty. I said, "It's not very clean", they said that. Now for some reason it still pops into my head any time I wash my hands in a public restroom. Whyyyyyyyyyy.

There's a Winnie the Pooh episode where the characters are playing on Christopher Robin's train set and the episode turns into a parody of a stereotypical Western with a train robbery and a Western town with a saloon and jail and all that.

In one scene they're on the train and one character (I think Pooh, but it might be Piglet) appears out of nowhere. Another character questions his sudden, impossible appearance on a moving train in the middle of the desert and and Pooh/Piglet responds "it's a fantasy"

I don't know why that dumb joke stuck in my head, but sometimes when life gets to be too much I randomly think "it's a fantasy" and things don't really matter anymore or have to make sense.

There was a terrible standup bit that I loved. I believe it was from An Evening at the Improv.

Guy is doing a bad private eye shtick: "Either this man was stabbed to death with a spoon, or his entire body is breaking out in little smiles."

I have searched online for the clip for literally over a decade, and I know this because I searched once a few years ago and found... myself asking the exact same question on a forum a decade earlier.

I love that episode. That and the "challenging wank" episode.

Edited to add: How can I possibly have forgotten to add Joe Wilkinson's poem about naming willies... Unforgivable of me.

I always have one joke at the ready, it was a quip between party members in dragon age 2:

"An elf and a dwarf walk into a bar, the elf looks at the dwarf and says 'you're lucky you're so short, that hurt like hell!"
