Best comedy one-liner?
I don’t think this has been done before, and I was pondering while listening to R4’s “I’m sorry I haven’t a clue”. I’ll start.
Capt Mainwaring in Dad’s Army: “ Don’t tell him, Pike”.
Simple, harmless, clever, funny.
Other suggestions?

People used to laugh at me when I said I wanted to be a comedian.
Well they're not laughing now.

Re: Best comedy one-liner?
Many years ago, I and some mates went into a pub and saw a drag act, where some young Herbert made a snide comment.
As quick as you like, the drag artist said ' go home and tell mummy you saw one '
He ran out of pub, head down, red of face, whilst everyone else laughed.
Ordinarily I wouldn't sit and watch this kind of act, but this bloke was razor sharp with his wit and funny as fu!k. Changed my opinion of this type of show.

Re: Best comedy one-liner?
Ah. I stand corrected. Even simpler, clevererer, funnier.
I’ll edit it.

The snide comment was about ' fuc!!ing queer' hence the drag artist's comment.JackyJoll wrote: ↑Sun Dec 17, 2023 3:42 pmSaw one what?Buckaroo wrote: ↑Sun Dec 17, 2023 2:18 pm Many years ago, I and some mates went into a pub and saw a drag act, where some young Herbert made a snide comment.

Re: Best comedy one-liner?
Wife, both sons, eldest boy's fiancee and I were all in N.I. staying at the BiL's (over his back fence was a bit of the NW 200 course). We'd just had dinner and eldest boy's fiancee (T) was helping to clear up.
T: What should I do with this cabbage?
Trumps (my youngest lad): Why don't you just marry him?

Re: Best comedy one-liner?
Groucho Marx had so many one liners.
Anyone who says he can see though women is missing a lot.
No man goes before his time,unless his boss leaves early.
