Velcro—what a rip-off!

Why do dogs always race to the door when the doorbell rings? It’s hardly ever for them.

Harry Hill

I spend three minutes every day choosing a TV channel to leave on for my dog. Then I go to work, and people take me seriously as an adult.

@damienfahey

The Complete Law and Order boxed set is now available for only $300. The perfect gift for someone unaware of the existence of USA Network.

My greatest acting performance is when I check the caller ID, then adopt an air of polite curiosity as I answer the phone “Hello?”

@SethMacFarlane

Sick of having to go to two different huts to buy pizza and sunglasses.

@Leemanish

The closest I’ve been to a diet this year is erasing food searches from my browser history.

@PaulyPeligroso

If you think eggplant is good, you should try any other food; it’s much better.

Triscuit is the perfect combination of cracker and doormat.

Clif Bars answer the question “What if it wasn’t frowned upon to eat an entire sleeve of mushed-up oatmeal cookies before noon?”

Bifocals are God’s way of saying, “Keep your chin up.”

My friends tell me that cooking is easy, but it’s not easier than not cooking.

How can you ever be late for anything in London? They have a huge clock right in the middle of the town.

I think a lot of the conflict that happened in the Wild West could’ve been avoided had architects in those days just made their towns big enough for everyone.

I’d rather spend ten minutes rearranging the dishwasher to accommodate something than spend 30 seconds washing it by hand.

Here’s some advice: At a job interview, tell them you’re willing to give 110 percent. Unless the job is a statistician.

I put so much more effort into naming my first Wi-Fi than my first child.

So what if I can’t spell Armageddon? It’s not the end of the world.

“Pickup artists” and “garbagemen” should switch names.

We need a 12-step group for compulsive talkers. They could call it On Anon Anon.

Whoever named it necking is a poor judge of anatomy.

General Mills is coming out with an organic Twinkie. Isn’t that called a sponge?

Fifth Third Bank? I don’t think you understand how to number things, which is something I generally look for in a bank.

Does it disturb anyone else that “The Los Angeles Angels” baseball team translates directly to “The The Angels Angels”?

I don’t know that there are real ghosts and goblins, but there are always more trick-or-treaters than neighborhood kids.

I dressed my dog up as a cat for Halloween. Now he won’t come when I call him.

—Reid Faylor

Halloween is the beginning of the holiday shopping season. That’s for women. The beginning of the holiday shopping season for men is Christmas Eve.

—David Letterman

My parents didn’t want to move to Florida, but they turned 60 and that’s the law.

—Jerry Seinfeld

A sign said, “Do not allow your dog to chase, injure, or worry wildlife.” How is a dog going to “worry” wildlife? Run up to a bird: “Hey, I think you’ve got something on your beak. It could be a tumor.”

The biggest change after having kids was putting a swear jar in the house. Whenever I say a bad word, I have to put a dollar in the jar, and at the end of every month, I take all that money and buy myself a nice steak for being such a cool dad.

Comedian Mark Chalifoux

I wonder if Superman ever put glasses on Lois Lane’s dog and she was like, “I’ve never seen this dog before. Is this a new dog?”

@Robfee

What do you mean, I didn’t win? I ate more wet T-shirts than anyone else.

@PeachCoffin

Just found the worst page in the entire dictionary. What I saw was disgraceful, disgusting, dishonest, and disingenuous.

@sixthformpoet

I walked up to a tourist information booth and asked them to tell me about a couple of people who were here last year.

Steven Wright

We use a really strong sunblock when we go to the beach with the kids. It’s SPF 80: You squeeze the tube, and a sweater comes out.

Lew Schneider

There’s no “I” in denial.

Peter Serafinowicz

I admit that I live in the past, but only because housing is so much cheaper.

Nostalgia: How long’s that been around?

Bill Bailey

Why is there so much pressure to spend Independence Day with other people?

Betsy Salkind

If con is the opposite of pro, then isn’t Congress the opposite of progress?

Jon Stewart

What are they planting to grow the seedless watermelon?

Jerry Seinfeld

At what age do you think it’s appropriate to tell a highway it’s adopted?

Zach Galifianakis

What should you do when you see an endangered animal eating an endangered plant?

George Carlin

My neighbor is in the Guinness World Records. He has had 44 concussions. He lives very close to me. A stone’s throw away, in fact.

I told my girlfriend that it looked like she was drawing her eyebrows too high. She looked surprised.

There’s nothing simpler than avoiding people you don’t like. Avoiding one’s friends, that’s the real test.

Try an internship! Internships give you all the experience of a summer job without the hassle of a paycheck.

Stephen Colbert

Being a lifeguard is a weird summer job for a kid. Ninety-nine percent of the time, sit and do nothing. One percent of the time, SAVE SOMEONE’S LIFE.

Jake Weisman (@weismanjake)

This summer, I’m going to go to the beach and bury metal objects that say “Get a life” on them.

I got my first full-time job, but I could have sworn I was making more money in college, working for my parents as their daughter.

• Old McDonald was dyslexic, I-E-I-E-O.  —Billy Connolly

• And every six months, she would trade in her aging sheep for a new one. Because without a little lamb, Mary didn’t know who she was.    —@andrewhibbard

• My wife said she wanted a “fairy-tale romance,” so I’ve locked her in a tower. —@tonycowards

Sometimes I think war is God’s way of teaching us geography.

MapQuest really needs to start its directions on number five. Pretty sure I know how to get out of my neighborhood.

After finishing our Chinese food, my husband and I cracked open our fortune cookies. Mine read, “Be quiet for a little while.” His read, “Talk while you have a chance.”

The Laugh Factory in Los Angeles invited comedians from around the globe to join its Funniest Person in the World Contest. Here are some finalists:

• In Paris, I am driving a Smart car, you know, the very tiny one. But I don’t do it much, because it’s too dangerous. I could get run over by a pedestrian.    Mustapha El Atrassi, France

• Have you noticed that all bottled water has the “best before” date printed on it? The water has circled the earth for four billion years … but now it’s ruined?   Ismo Leikola, Finland

• This is the tenth anniversary of my comedy career. It’s also the anniversary of my father begging me not to do comedy.
Nitin Mirani, United Arab Emirates
