The only joke I ever saw or heard of was of the type "You are spending too much time SL if ..." which was posted as a comment on the Linden blog. I can't find it again, but Google came up with one (see below).
Did anyone hear of any? I mean unique stuff, not cheap ripoffs of blonde/lawyer/etc jokes.
If yes, please post them here and if not, let's make some new ones:
- You are spending too much time in SecondLife when ...
- What's the SecondLife/Avatar/Linden's answer to: Why did the chicken cross the road?
- How many SecondLifers/Avatars/Lindens does it take to change a lightbulb?
- The SecondLife/Avatar/Linden interpretation of Shit Happens.
- Any other scheme I forgot?

Q: How many Lindens does it take to change a light bulb?
A: 69% of our developers are currently working on this problem.
My favorite thought about how Linden Lab works is
"If it ain't broke, fix it until it is."
Unfortunately, that may not even be funny.
Well, I don't have any SL jokes handy in my head, but I have written 3 SL based songs that are all (to one degree or another) humorous:
Cyber Me
The Furry Lolita of Gor
and The Ballad of Ruth
I believe that the archive.org recording of my SLCC performance got all but Cyber Me (which was my last song that night)
There are variations on the porn star name as in "What would be your Linden name?" "What Linden names would they never allow?"
These tend to get rapidly scatological of course.
I came accross a few funny t-shirts and graffities as well as company names which seem especially relevant for SL users:
"I collared your mum"
"Your girlfriend is a boy"
"Missing Texture designs"
"Rez this!"
"Lag happens"
So this guy walks into a bar, and he says "Ow!! I thought that was phantom!"
This one has been on my profile for over a year now:
How many Lindens does it take to change a light bulb?
Answer: Please, everyone, be patient, we're doing the best we can, it's not fun for us either, check the blog for updates, and in the mean time, here's our Torley with "10 Super Fun Things To Do in the Dark!"
TT
I believe I have some T-shirts that are relevant to this discussion... one of them was quoted above, in fact.
(I have some more in SL itself.)
Awww, no slagging off of poor Torley! ;)
I wonder if this blog is PG? I'd love to hear some of the more juicy jokes!
And there are quite a lot of things people have collected to show you spend too much time in SL. Like my fiance yelling "poseballs" in Ikea on seeing some small round cushions on a sofa.No Germans reacted to that, but some of the American customers (I live in a town where there's a large army contingent nearby) looked slightly irritated...

First, I do live stand up Voice comedy in SL (see my blog http://laurenweyland.blogspot.com/
I have many SL jokes. On Pregnancy, marriage, divorce etc in SL.
"How do you please a woman in Gor? shorten her leash!"
*grins*
I've been grinning over every post here, certainly good stuff. Keep more coming if you find it ...
Oh, and this blog is certainly not PG ... if it's funny, post it, no matter if it's juicy or not.
Q: Why did the chicken cross the [road/region border]?
A: Because of rolling restarts.
Q: How many Lindens does it take to change a light bulb?
A: 1.Check you settings under the "Features" tab.
2.Clear cache and re-log.
3.Enter a support ticket.
4.Force sun to "noon"
5.Look at how nice the water looks in Windlight.
6.There is no spoon.. er.. lightbulb..
[repost of the comment, because I mangled the link ;(] My take on a Linden lightbulb joke. Kinda lengthy, which is why I put it on its own page on my blog. Hugs, Nic.
Rheta: Admit it, you've worked there!!
Hilarious :-)
These were from a thread "Ways to make a bad first impression at SLCC (the Second Life Convention)
Show up dressed as your avatar... which in your case, is a giant furry hyena, with wings.. breasts the size of basketballs, and a meter long penis. Make sure to bring your huge military sniper cannon.
Find a parent who brought their children, and threaten to AR them for being pedophiles.
Bring a truckload of plywood cubes (or cardboard boxes with woodgrained shelf-paper on them) and leave them scattered around the place.
Arrive riding a giant flying Penis.
convert one of those LED messageboards into a portable battery powered unit. Rig up a backpack and wear the sign over your head. Then, when you have to go to the bathroom, type "BRB" into the sign, slump over, and wet your pants.
Purchase a variety of "harmless" weapons.. Nerf blasters, pingpong ball guns, etc... and shoot anyone dressed nicer than you.
On Sunday morning, stand naked in the hotel lobby, and insist that "the room you were in just crashed" and that you can't be held responsible for being forced to rez here, naked.
For extra fun, do it at Denny's.
"cam" into other people's hotel rooms.
find someone you dislike, and follow them the whole convention, standing 19m away.
Stare at women. Run up to them and check them out.. left, right, back side, look up their skirt, examine their shoes... Then say "Hi"
Just to be annoying, if your name is "fairly well known" in some circles, wear a nametag that gives the name of your most obscure, and least known alt.
Bonus points if it's something like "Ivanna-Fukyoo Johansen"
Drive your car through the hotel window. Park it in the lobby, get out, then stand there with your arm outstretched. When the hotel staff and the police arrive, insist that you're just showing it to a friend" and then complain that someone at Linden Lab must have screwed up, because the system won't let you "take" it anymore.
At 2:30am, wander the halls, asking people if they can teleport. Act very distressed that you can't.
Sneak behind the help desk at the hotel. When someone calls down, complaining that they need more towels, or if a customer comes to ask if a missing camera, purse, or wallet has been found. Advise them to clear their cache and relog.
When your friend says he's leaving to go to Denny's.. as he gets in his car and starts to drive away.. Run up and sit on the hood.
Hold a poker event.
Get a "last minute" panel added to the schedule.. "Gambling and Casino's in Second Life.. how do we keep doing it without the Lindens getting wise?"
Arrive for the event dressed in full body armour, and bristling with weapons. Extra points if you try to ride the plane like that. EXTRA EXTRA points if you succeed.
If you're a man.. insist that your are a model or an escort.
How many Lindens does it take to put in a lightbulb?
Answer: One to hold the lightbulb in its socket, and 240 to turn the world around 20 times.

Thanks folks, keeps me grinning.
Here's one I just made up:
Q: What do you call a person's public hair?
A: Asstachment.
Following up w/ a link to the SLCC performance on archive.org mentioned above.

I also have a couple SL shirts I started in SL that I've put up on my Cafe Press store:
"Yes, I speak fluent Typonese: The official language of SL"
"I'm Not really Bad, I'm just rezzed that way!"

I've got one; I wear this in a flip title at NCI:
I love Newbies - they taste like chicken!
