Nerdy philosophical jokes

Do you have any philosophical jokes you would like to share?
Post 'em here and have a
I'll reserve the next post for best jokes etc...

Heres one but its a bit bad....

Student: master I am confused, I do not know wether the world is flat or round!
Aquinas: It is a complex issue indeed. I cannot tell you what I think as in honesty, that knowledge is with the Lord alone. In my opinion, its all a bit pear shaped.

(In the mid ages it was more commenly believed that the world was pear shaped. A commen misconception is that the mid age peeps believed it was flat. That was the joke).
I hang my head in shame
You can do better so post them in!

Remember, they must be on some philosophical or religous aspect.
Keep it clean.
NOTHING RACIAL which could be considered offensive.
Also be aware that some religious jokes can cause great harm as many people hold their religions dearly. Just use your reason and I wish you the best!

Re: Nerdy philosophical jokes

In no particular order:

"A doctor takes his first rounds at an asylum. He goes up to the first patient he sees and asks, "Who do you think you are?" The patient replied, "I, sir, am Napoleon!" "And how do you know you are Napoleon," asked the doctor. The patient replied, "Because God told me so." Then, from across the room, another patient yelled, "I... DID... NOT!!!"

How many existentialists does it take to change a lightbulb?
Two. One to change the lightbulb and one to observe how the lightbulb symbolizes an incandescent beacon of subjectivity in a netherworld of Cosmic Nothingness.
-Theaetetus

How many Marxists does it take to change a lightbulb?
None. The lightbulb contains the seeds of its own revolution.
-Theaetetus

How many Episcopalians does it take to change a light bulb?
Six. One to change the bulb, and five to form a society to preserve the memory of the old light bulb.

Re: Nerdy philosophical jokes

This is an interesting joke a heard… but I am raking my brains trying to figure out where it came from. But still, here it is;

“A doctor takes his first rounds at an asylum. He goes up to the first patient he sees and asks, “Who do you think you are?” The patient replied, “I, sir, am Napoleon!” “And how do you know you are Napoleon,” asked the doctor. The patient replied, “Because God told me so.” Then, from across the room, another patient yelled, “I... DID... NOT!!!”

and of course, the ever so frequent lame Taoist line;

"Man with hand down pants feel coc*y all day."

Re: Nerdy philosophical jokes

It's a Youtube series about a lesser known Greek philosopher with many comical one liners. Very well done.



And the Youtube Channel for the other 5 books:

Re: Nerdy philosophical jokes

Well this is not necessarily a joke but it is by the Monty Python clan. Of all jokesters they had the strongest grip on philosophy.
