This is really weird, but I was just thinking over the weekend whether there were any comic book jokes out there. Like, "How many X-men does it take to screw in a lightbulb?" type jokes. The cornier, the better, in my opinion. Well if you know any, I'd be curious to hear them.

good thread idea but no I don't know any

I'd say it takes 5-7 X-Men to properly screw in a lightbulb.

There are rules though:

1) Cyclops will spend the entire time of the lightbulb replacement job alternating between sulking and glowering.
2) Wolverine will do nothing but declare that he's the best at what he does.
3) Jean Gray will die 4 times.
4) Professor Xavier will only need his wheelchair for the first 3 minutes and the last 7 minutes. He will be able to walk throughout the entire middle of the job.
4) Chris Claremont is not to be allowed into the building under any circumstances.

Outside of that, the closest thing to a comics joke I know is this:

I am at work and read that X-Men bit at the sametime I picked up the phone. I laughed into the reciever at "Jean Grey will die 4 times" and confounded the person on the other end. Good one, Fred.

Here's an old one, but I've always liked it...

A man was sitting in a bar in the penthouse of a 17 story high rise hotel. Another man sat down beside him abviousely very drunk.The drunk man says to the other man, "Bet you I could jump out the window and the wind will carry me back up to here before I hit the ground!"The man wanted nothing to do with this and simply ignored him. After a while the drunk man finally wore him down..."Look you go jump out that window and Ill sit here and drink my beer,ok??!!" the man yelled."you got it, fifty bucks and a beer!" said the drunk,"Whatever, just leave me alone!!!".So the drunk opens the window and runs and jumps out!.....Theman was astounded! He ran to the window yelling,"I cant believe he did it!!!"...He waited a few seconds and sure
enough the drunk man came flying right back into the window!"Holy cow!!" said the man "Thats the most amazing thing Ive everseen!!! Ive got to try this!"So he gave the drunk man the $50 and the beer and ran and threw himself out the window! As he was falling all he could think about was how exciting it will be to feel himself fly back up to the window.....SPLAT!!!!! He hit the ground! Back up in the window the drunk was shaking his head. He walked back to the bar. The bartender came over and glared at him while he drank his beer andsaid, "You are a real jerk when you're drunk Superman!"

I know one, but it's a little blue.

Bear with me, I`m not sure if i remember this 100% correctly


So Superman is flying around Metropolis looking to thwart any crimes. As he climbs higher and higher in the atmosphere to get a better view, he noticed wonder woman in her invisible jet, bent over, examining something intensely. He uses his telescopic vision to look her up and down and thinks to himself "Damn that Wonder Woman is fine piece. If i swoop down, i bet i can use my super speed to screw her without her even noticing!" So that's exactly what Supes does. He finishes his business in record time and flies off without Wonder Woman even noticing.
After he leaves, he hears a male voice in the distance:
"Ow!"
"What's wrong, Invisible Man?" says Wonder Woman
"I don`t know, but my ass is killing me!"
