Those are stupid. Even worse that they had to explain them.

 

[DigDog]

[John Connor]

Dumb, dumb and more dumb.

 

[Murloc]

I got the first but I didn't immediately get the subsequent 2.

Then I stopped because tl;dr/cba/not funny enough

 

[Newell Steamer]

Holy shit, those were down right awful.

 

[DaTT]

Clearly none of you are "intellectuals".

 

[Spungo]

Most of these are stupid, but I thought this one was interesting:

6. Why do engineers confuse Halloween and Christmas? Because Oct 31 = Dec 25

Someone must have been really high when they noticed this.

Hey, not everyone can be a rocket surgeon.

"got" most of them. I know nothing about this though:

25. Who does Polyphemus hate more than Odysseus?
Nobody!

I'm assuming it is greek mythology... which has nothing to do with the other science/math jokes.

Cyclops story. Odysseus told the Cyclops his name was "Nobody" so that he couldn't tell his friends who blinded him.

It's a "did you take 10th grade English" joke.

I must have clicked the wrong link. The page I was sent to did not contain any jokes.

 

[s0me0nesmind1]

OMG INTELLECTUAL JOKES! They so funny HAHAHAHA

Jesus fuck these are retarded to boot. Doesn't matter if you get it or don't. Like someone else said, it's really just stupid puns.

Also, it's click-bait crap. You can tell when adblock says it blocked over 9000 ads.

[CU]

I liked them, thanks.

 

[Ken g6]

I got all but 4, 6, 8, 24, and 25 without reading the answers. I was on the right track with 6 but over-thought it.

And, yes, most of them were awful.

 

[dank69]

Most were pretty good, but I've also heard most of them before.

 

[Iron Woode]

Did you hear about the man who got cooled to absolute zero?
He’s 0K now.

[CoPhotoGuy]

They are bad but yes I get most of them.
