I have a work acquaintance who does this in the most unfunny way. You could say you injured your Achilles tendon, and he'd reply he has an Achilles elevendon, and it's made out of steel and never hurts..

The elevendon was funny the rest wasn't :(

This sounds like a joke I have with two of my work acquaintances

This sounds like a joke I'd make. Most of the time, I'm only making myself chuckle.

That joke reminds me of a full-length Netflix comedy special I did with my whole family…

Me and my cousin have 2 ongoing bits.

Me and my three cousins have four ongoing bits.

Amongst my cousins and bits ongoing are fear, surprise, and an almost fanatic support of Pope Tim Minchin

We call that banter (also a personality trait) "Topper".

I have a couple of friends who do the exact same thing .... but it isn't funny or humorous

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

It's funnier during the millisecond it's in my head.

Story of my life..

Knowing your audience is important

I've given up in telling them any new information at this point.

The funny thing is that they're imagination had dried up and they can't give to share anything new anymore. We're older so as the years go by, it's getting to the point where they start recommending things they already recommended years ago.
