Dick jokes are grouped in with That's What She Said jokes:
Depends on your audience. I personally love both.

Depends on how they're done. Dick jokes can actually be quite clever when done right, but some people seem to have that middle school/early high school mentality that simply making a reference to gentitals is the funniest shit evah!
And it's not.
And it's not.
Call me a spoilsport but I'm not a huge fan. I can roll with some crass humour but when it comes to either that or racist jokes, I draw the line.
If they're pulled off well.
Otherwise they just seem childish. And this seems to be the majority of them.
Like "your mom" jokes (though recently I pulled off an exceptionally great your mom joke that was more of an insult and made someone cry).
EDIT:
actually, the best dick joke I ever heard was a really long and involving one. There was a kid who was sitting in a rotunda at the college im going to, and there was a relatively attractive, albeit easedropping, girl there. So he started talking to me (I was sitting in it just relaxing) and starting telling this really vague story that made you think he could be making a dick joke innuendo but also that he was just talking straight and serious. and he made it seem like he had what he was talking about on his person (in this case his laptop whch he had open) and wanted to show it.
Well in the end the girl got too curious for her own good and asked can I see it (what he was alluding to). To which the guy smiled, stood, and dropped his pants before saying its free to look, but i gotta charge to touch.
naturally this was hysterical in its set up and while he got a mark and was ordered to pay an indecent exposure fine, make an apology to the girl (who decided to not file for sexual harassment and really saved the kid from a lot of bad things), and was told he wouldnt be able to attend classes for a week (and the leading school officer said that he should use this week to grow up and not be so immature) it still wound up being a great joke and something of a memorable incident.

OT: It depends on my mood, mostly. But for the love of God, don't tell more than one unless they're all linked.
Let's be real here, folks: dicks are funny. They're really, really funny and they always have been. A well-timed dick joke never gets old, and games like Shadows of the Damned that keep it creative are always going to be funny, no matter who plays them and when. Dick jokes are timeless, the sort of lovably stupid humor that transcends an era. I'm pretty sure I've laughed at dick jokes that were written in 1988. I can't say the same for... say, jokes about politics or even pop culture.
sorry, couldn't help myself...Dethenger said:Yay, under the right circumstance. To make a dick joke effective, it takes restraint. You never want too much, and you never want to say it prematurely, or you just come off as an ass. You can't just tell dick jokes willy nilly.
