Work in Progress

Reviving this thread from the old Sicki forum. Basically, this is for when you’ve got the bones of a joke but can’t quite make the wording work. Post it here, and the rest of us can either help polish it into a gem or take the piss until it becomes one. It’s also a decent place for spotting angles, premises and punchlines you might not have seen yourself.

Moderation should be a light touch, (i.m.h.o.), give other site users a chance to decide what's funny! (Unless it's blatantly utterly humourless or a rant).

Bang on. Some people will like to read more content even if it's not as good. Others just want the best jokes. We cater for both types and the new settings make it easier; choosing 'Best' lets you cream off the better rated jokes and you stop scrolling when they're not good enough and 'Newest' lets you see everything in order 👌

Blocked by the moderator for being ‘low effort’ (wtf lol) can anyone do anything with this: The gorgeous girl next door has started running. I’d love to take the credit. But it was probably the balaclava.

Just try it again. A different mod will find it funny 😋

Does this work? England are through to the World Cup semi-final. Fortunately, the BBC have found a disagreement between Tuchel and Bellingham before morale gets dangerously high.

Nigel Farage has quit as an MP. I got nothing.

Reuses an old mechanism this: A woman I’ve been chatting up asked if I wanted to try swinging. Felt like a right idiot turning up at the park in Lynx Africa, waiting behind three toddlers. OR THIS A saucy bird I’ve been chatting up asked if I fancied a bit of rough. Felt like a right idiot standing on the 12th fairway at midnight with flowers and a nine iron. OR both shit

A woman I've been chatting up asked if I wanted to try swinging. It wasn't too bad but now all my jumpers and shirts are too short in the arms.

In the last week a British guy got arrested for having a dead Brazilian woman in a suitcase and an Australian got arrested for having a dead Thai teenager in a suitcase about a day apart, I was sad I could not come up with one for that. Something about Summer holidays or they should have bought Samsonite. Also a plane full of skydivers crashed in France killing 11 people. Maybe something about them being too cowardly to jump out of the plane but also too chicken shit to face their families without jumping so they decided to crash. The moment has passed on both of these premises sadly.

A British bloke got caught with a dead Brazilian woman in a suitcase. Then an Australian got caught with a dead Thai teenager in a suitcase. Typical. The one time I’ve got an Irishman in mine, nobody wants to hear the airport bar joke.

Can anyone help make this pop or is it dead in the water? Someone on the neighbourhood WhatsApp group asked if anyone had lost a child. I replied, “No, but I’ll take it.” They’ve kicked me off again.

Slightly different twist might work. I replied, 'If anyone has, I'll get some Haribos and keep an eye out.'
