I don't like jokes. — © Wanderlei Silva
I don't like jokes.
I don't tend to like race jokes. I don't like Jew jokes and black jokes, and they make me very uncomfortable, probably because I'm both. Well, I'm not black - but if I was then I could dance better.
I had a moment where I was onstage once... As a comedian, you just think, 'Be funny as possible all the time - like, funny at all costs - jokes, jokes, jokes.' That's how my mentality was.
I do like a well-written sketch with a bunch of jokes in it, and I like stand-up with good jokes in it it.
I like smart jokes, I like dumb jokes, and I like dumb jokes done smartly.
Jokes rot. They're not like songs. I always envy singers - Sting is always going to sing 'Roxanne'. But people want to hear new jokes. I've written jokes as good as 'Roxanne', I believe. But I can't tell them again.
I don't like the pressure to try to tell the best jokes. I'm not good at jokes.
I use mother-in-law jokes, kid jokes, tax jokes - anything that works.
I'm not good with jokes, no. I don't know a joke at all. I like being told jokes, but I can't tell one myself.
I am absolutely okay with jokes on me now, but initially, yes, I was perturbed ki why me? I am not a personality on whom jokes are made randomly. Later, I was like, if everyone is enjoying jokes on me, even I should laugh it off instead of opposing them.
There are two kinds of jokes - funny jokes and Jack Benny jokes.
A lot of people get into stand-up as a back door into acting or something. But I really like writing jokes and telling jokes.
People would say, "Oh, you say you just do jokes." I don't just do jokes. I do jokes. Jokes are important. They saved my life when I was younger. Hopefully we're making things nicer at the end of the day for people. That's the entire goal, and that's the touchstone and the North Star for the tone.
I do like rude jokes. They're men jokes.
The jokes are great but what really matters for a comedian is his performance, his whole attitude, and the laughs that he gets between the jokes rather than on top of the jokes.
I'm a taker in terms of jokes. I love to hear a good joke, but I don't retain jokes. I'm not a good teller of jokes.
Sometimes I use my jokes as building blocks for larger bits. I like to draw and play music, so sometimes I do those things along with the jokes.
