Is a joke not as funny as you hoped? Try adding a duck.
When selecting an animal to use to increase the humor quotient, most people turn to the monkey, but the duck is actually the more traditional animal choice of humorists. With its silly flat beak and its odd “quack” sound, it’s as if the animal exists for no other reason than our constant derision.
A rubber chicken, if used properly, usually gets a chuckle.
I find australian animals, such as the wonbat, the devil, the wallaby, and the platypus, all have a high humor quotient.
The idea of a kangaroo kickboxing a hippy makes me grin.
I have noticed that both weasels and chimps are quite funny. If your in a pinch I guess you could use a marmot or a baboon.
You can’t just rely on one. It’s best to have at least three and you have to mix ’em up a bit.
For example, a monkey, badger, and a duck make an excellent animal trifecta.
Indeed…RightWingMonkey doesn’t sound nearly as funny.
Dr. Flat Tony, marmots are not funny. They are a menace to society…well, polite society. Actually, the funniest animal ever (IMHO) is the ronulan.
Animals are good, especially ducks. I, however, prefer well-directed sarcasm while enjoying my favorite ice cream cone.
Just don’t use dogs.
Trust me.
Sarcasm Man,
That would have been funny if you had stated that the 60 foot tank would be a large Trojan Duck. Better luck next time.
Hey!
I can’t believe no one’s mentioned llamas! Llamas have been just about as popular as monkeys for a joke animal. Especially after that Disney movie about Pelosi trying to usurp Emperor Kuzco.
What’s so funny about L Lamas? I mean, except for unintentional humor. That Renegade show was pretty funny.
how about a platypus??
they’re kindda funny…in that duckie sortta way……
right??
Right you are – and we have a duck!
He wants to volunteer to help fight against the terrorists too. He can dance and quack, and chases people as needed.
Any suggestions as to what he can do?
The titmouse, cuz it looks like neither.
Talking dogs crack me up too.
Nothing beats the dik-dik for pure comedy gold.
Veeshir,
Perhaps it’s just something that’s popped up in the teenage culture recently. It’s probably just the sheer randomness of the llama being there in the first place that makes it funny (For example, Napolean Dynamite). That, and the way it’s spelled (which is two L’s, unless you’re talking about the tibetan monk or something).
That would have been funny if you had stated that the 60 foot tank would be a large Trojan Duck. Better luck next time.
It would be funny but making giant duck molds that big would make the sixty foot tank project too expensive. Congress would never approve it. You would need to find some method for creating giant duck molds cheaply or the story wouldn’t make any sense.
My friends, the duck has already been built and is awaiting deployment

Wow! Nice find WAL. More pics of the duck here (not a rick roll).
Definitely duck. It’s easier to rhyme.
Ok, let me give the duck thing a try
Guy walks in the door after work carrying a duck under one arm. He is met by his wife in the hallway where he promptly says
“Honey, here is that pig I have been f***ing!”
His wife rolls her eyes and says to him
“Sweetie, that’s not a pig, that’s a duck!”
He looks up at her and says
“I wasn’t talking to you”
“Trojan Duck”
LMAO! That would be cool!
I’ve been saying it forever, ducks make everything just a bit cooler.
A drunk walks into a bar, and he’s got a duck on his head.
The bartender says “where’d you get that??”
Duck says “Ireland”
Harry Reid walks into a bar, and he’s got a duck on his head.
The bartender says “where’d you get that??”
Duck says “would you believe it started out as a wart on my ass?”
A baby Harp seal walks into a club…..
Dead Rodents Dancing always a chuckle.
There was a study conducted in the UK that determined the duck is the funniest animal.
So, your statement is backed up by science.
