Intellectual jokes. I’m about to reel off a sort of top twenty five of them and, credit where Reddit’s due, they all stem from a questioned posed to users on Reddit recently that simply asked, ‘What’s the most intellectual joke you know?’ The whole thing got rather popular, and a number of people are reporting it, seemingly, surprised that users of the internet laugh at more than dick jokes, racism, homophobia, sexism, memes, paedophilia and the ever rich and fruitful source materials that were Hitler, the holocaust and Nazis as a whole.

The jokes involved run the gambit from physics to philosophy, and further. Pretentious? Esoteric? Maybe. Funny? Definitely. Not surprising really, I hear smart people need to laugh too; they are after all the most miserable of the lot of us — they know the truth we could never understand. Plus there’s the fact a number of respected comics have backgrounds in any number of the sciences, without even getting started on the Futurama writing team.

Anyway, check them out on the following slides and let us know how many you got (don’t lie).
