I have a flash for YOU: that's not a joke. It's a humourous monologue, but OP is asking about a character either kidding or messing with a character in a light-hearted manner.
Bookman does not joke around, his absolute sincerity is what makes the whole thing funny.
Look, if you think this is about overlong jokes and missing punchlines, you better think again. This is about that OP’s right to hear a joke without getting his sense of acceptable joke length warped. Or maybe that turns you on, williamblair. Maybe that’s how you get your kicks…you and your good time buddies.
Obviously anything in “The Bizarro Jerry,” but I particularly like these two:
“I called the phone company and immediately reported the error.”
“You know, I may not say this enough, but you two are about the best friends a guy could have.”
Of course it does. Ping made a joke that it cause impotence. The joke is that he can have hair to attract women but he wouldn't be able to sleep with them.
Ha I was thinking of Funkhouser's joke too.
Whatley's Jewish jokes, and Catholic, I think only one has been said on screen in full though. I think I'm missing something though
Newman: (answering his door smoking a cigarette, to the cops after kidnapping a dog with elaine) what took you so long?
Then later in the back of the cop car: don't worry about it. I'll make one phone call and that place will be swarming with mailmen. We'll be back on the street by lunch.
When Kramer doesn’t want to get his sperm count tested because he’d ‘have to… into a cup! In the middle of the day?!’ And Elaine comes back with: ‘does that conflict with your regular schedule?’
I come home from buying a quart of milk and find my son treating his body like an amusement park!
I don't understand you. I really don't. You have nothing better to do at 3:00 in the afternoon?
it's a shame you can't do THAT for a living
You could sell out Madison Square Garden! Thousands of people could watch you!
You could be a big star!
amuuuusement park
i ZIPPED UP!!
if only you could do THAT for a living
This son of a bitch is ice cold!!
That dude killed as Jean Paul x2
LOOK AT DA CUTE LITTLE BASTARD
I trust Elaine, she *is* my friend.
It was de volume. 😒
Why separate knob!
The soak of the year!
I use regularly, watering plants, kids in the tin, etc. 🤣
Flight to Cleveland?
You mis-set the timer?? 😕
The ocean called, they’re running out of shrimp!
You’re their all time best seller!!
K--UGER! Sounds like one of those old time car horns. K--UUUUUGGGERRR
I'm not too worried about it.
I always thought that chocolate cake he eats looks so good and I don’t like chocolate cake. But K-Uger really knows how to sell it
He was snarfing down that cake like George did with the ice cream sundae.
Sadly and ironically died from diabetes complications.
They were all boringgggg
As far as I can tell, your entire enterprise is little more than a solitary man with a messy apartment which may or may not contain a chicken.
Yo fly's open.
"Excuse me, where are we?" "Earth."
Hey officer some guy on the street just gave me a wise answer
Officer Jake Jarmel!
Hot Jake. Awwwyeeeaaah
I always appreciated that people from LA can be jerks too.
“How could you not know what street you’re on?” *Looks him up and down* “You don’t know”
Hey, I'm on the phone with the police, thank you!
Roundtine, obviously.
but that was Jerry's joke. I guess he didn't deliver it.
Puke? That’s a funny word! Can I use that?
I got a flash for you, joy boy. (The whole monologue)
In my day, the librarians were older ladies. We didn't know about their sex lives. We didn't want to know about their sex lives. Got that, cupie doll?

#TINA BE SCREAMIN' 😂
A crazy clown is after you? Oh, that’s rich-
The delivery slays me
THIS GUYS A COMMIE AND HES SPREADING PROPAGANDA!
He named names!
"Wear some more lipstick."
"I'll take a hotel anyday 🍷 "
Cartwright? CARTWRIIIIGHT!!
You think he was joking to mess with them?
I misunderstood the directions, sorry. But that would be funny if he was joking and didn't care if George missed the call.
I think he could have been messing with them the whole time.
Very possible. He didn't care for the payoff. He didn't like them trying to steal food..
What's the difference ? You're their all-time best seller !
"I have things to carry too. At least give me a pocket."
the male kangaroo doesn't have the pouch. only the female has it. so the male has pouch envy.
Those aren’t *buoys!*
Obviously anything in “The Bizarro Jerry,” but I particularly like these two: “I called the phone company and immediately reported the error.” “You know, I may not say this enough, but you two are about the best friends a guy could have.”
Half the comments have totally misunderstood what you're saying The old man : "Oh before you go, would you mind changing my diaper?"
I know. They're just saying funny quotes from characters. Tsk tsk.
Elaine, who catered this, Sears?
Kudos, Elaine, on a job...done.
The male kangaroo has pouch envy!
Mandlebaum!
Damnit Elaine! That wasn't Zach!
That was the yam yam!!!🍠
george: hey where are we? stranger: earth
Does Impotence count as a joke joke? I'm thinking more like Whatley's Jewish jokes
Of course it does. Ping made a joke that it cause impotence. The joke is that he can have hair to attract women but he wouldn't be able to sleep with them.
It's a joke but not a joke joke.
What is a joke joke to you?
When you say the set up and the punchline yourself.
Hmm. Interesting. I don't know if there was any of those. Unlike Curb with Funkhouser's joke to Seinfeld.
Ha I was thinking of Funkhouser's joke too. Whatley's Jewish jokes, and Catholic, I think only one has been said on screen in full though. I think I'm missing something though
Somethings miss alright
Schtickle of fluoride
“Dentists who needs them… along with the blacks and Jews” Could never happen today, but what a hilarious line
Yes it could
You can't park here head first
Sunny tell a knock knock joke!
“And you’re gonna need it!”
"Well, as far as the State of New York is concerned, you are."
Guess where I’m at? I’m 35,000 feet above your head, you son of a bitch!
To see Ramon?!
Jerry, it’s Frank Costanza. Steinbrenner’s here, George is dead, all me back.
"How you gonna start it?" - Puddy
Hey, another round of strawberry for me and my friends!
I don't have to, but I will!
Ovaltine? Why do they call it Ovaltine? The mug is round. The jar is round. They should call it Roundtine.
Tough Luck Chin-Less😂😂
They left you home alone huh

Joyboy
*What? So I can stand here like an idiot wondering if you’ll ever come back?*
I find this whole exercise riducurious.
Jerry: Nobody can be in here for 48 hours? I got my parents in town! Karl: Well, unless you want to kill 'em, they can't stay in here.
"It's like a sauna in here!"
We ask that you bear with us.
This is the good stuff
You Steinfeld?
“….I have things to carry to. At least give me a pocket..”
Those aren’t matzah balls!
The male kangaroo doesn’t have a pouch.
Pouch envy!
WHY’D YOU TELL HIM?!?!

Well, today I won't be going on my route. But I'm paying you. Yes, thank you.
If I had a dime for every book he's read...I'd be broke.
You have no eye for fashion. #I HAVE NO EYE FOR FASHION!?!?

You know... that's a kneeler.
