Just Kidding

For the last few years I’ve watched an awful lot of the British version of The Office to get my daily dose of laughs. Because, as Office clown David Brent says: “You can’t put a price on… laaaarfter.” I have to admit though that I think I’ve overdone my Office viewings. I’m officially looking for a new laughter source.

Enter JokeyPhone –  (Thanks to Mashable who found it for me, by the way.)

Jokeyphone is basically “The YouTube of Jokes”, a video site that “allows users to tell jokes, pass them along, re-tell them using the webcam and teleprompter, and create their own joke channels.” The moment you land on the page, you are greeted by a random joke to watch and then the real fun begins.

For a laugh a minute, turn on ‘Auto Play’, which allows you to watch joke after joke without interruption. Each new joke starts five seconds after the last one, giving you enough time to save or replay a joke. You can also find the best joke content by jumping to the most viewed or highest rated sections, or start your own joke channel. Meanwhile, Jokeyphone have promised to push out Facebook, iPhone and Blackberry apps in the near future so you’ll be able to waste time outside the office as well. As we do.

Finally, if you think the joke tellers you’re seeing suck – don’t you hate it when someone totally stuffs up the punchline? – you can retell it yourself by using the ‘U-Tell Joke’ feature. Just try not stuff it up yourself. I did… and ended up leaving Jokeyphone with my tail between my legs as the biggest joke of the whole site.

Speaking of YouTube, I came across a post the other day heralding ‘The Top YouTube Videos of All Time’. Go check them out at ReadWriteWeb. Just for fun.
