Amusing, yes.
Hilarious, no.

Here it is:

Two hunters are out in the woods when one of them collapses. He doesn't seem to be breathing and his eyes are glazed. The other guy whips out his cellphone and calls the emergency services. He gasps: "My friend is dead! What can I do?" The operator says: "Calm down, I can help. First, let's make sure he's dead."

There is a silence, then a shot is heard. Back on the phone, the guy says: "OK, now what?"

You're right - it's amusing but not hilarious.

I loved that joke the first time I heard it. You just have to think of the stereotypical hunter as a hick.

Every time I hear that, I think of my Dad and his hunting/drinking buddies...

No, here's the funniest joke ever...or at least the funniest I've heard today...

Ok, so I was speeding this morning on my way to work and after passing under a bridge, I saw those blue, flashing lights behind me and knew it was a state trooper (the guys who usually pull you over for speeding in the US), so I pulled over.

"Where's the fire buddy?" he asked.

"I'm on my way to work, and I really can't be late today because I have a very important customer," I replied.

"What kind of work do you do boy?"

"I'm a rectum-stretcher"

"What's a rectum stretcher do?" asked the baffled officer.

"Well, first I lube up the outside really well, then I insert a finger, then I insert another, and another until I can fit my hole hand in there. Then, I get my whole arm in there. Then I do the same thing with the other arm, and I work the rectum until it's stretched out to about six feet."

"Why!? What do you do with a six foot asshole?" replied the now bewildered and annoyed trooper.

"Give him a radar gun and put him under a bridge."

Sir Auros, that certainly beats "the world's funniest joke" and by far!!

I've also heard a fair few others better than the hunter one.

I can think of better, too, but I'd rather not get banned for posting racist ****. That's about all I got.

I can't see how racist jokes would be funny in any way, though...

Ummm....racist jokes can be funny rather easily...even if your lot (Puerto Ricans or Italians, in my case) are the ones slandered...

I'm mostly Ukrainian, and I think most Ukrainian jokes are hilarious.

It's only funny when a racist joke makes fun of the stereotype, not the race itself.

Packet of Crisps walks into a bar.

Crisps: "'Scuse me bartender, could I get half a cider?"

Bartender ignores the crisps and goes to the other side of the bar. The crisps follow, slightly miffed:

Crisps: "Excuse me, could I please have half a cider?"

Once more the bartender ignores the crisps and moves over to another customer. The crisps are really annoyed and they follow:

Crisps: "OI BARTENDER! I want half a cider and I want it NOW!"

The bartender turns coolly to the crisps and returns, "I'm sorry, we don't serve food in here."

yeah racist joke are very entertaining when it makes fun of a stereotype. If it does not refer to a stereotype then there is no real point in telling the joke. You just can't take the joke to seriously if its about your race. Remember, its just a joke.

Oh, you mean this one, J?:

An Englishman, an Irishman and a Scotsman were sitting outside a pub with no name:

Englishman: "Ok guys, I'm bored. Let's see if we can give the pub a name."

Scotsman: "Hmmmm, ok how about we call it The Queens Head?"

Irishman: "Naah, that's boring. How about The Queens Nose?"

Englishman: "Show a little more respect for Her Maj., lads!"

Scotsman: "Right. How about The Queens Legs?"

The three ponder this and come to the unanimous decision that The Queens Legs is an excellent name for a pub. They sit there for the next hour and a half waiting fot the pub to open its doors when suddenly the local Police Constable approaches:

PC: "'Ello, 'Ello, 'Ello. What's all this then? What are you three doin' loitering about outside this pub?"

Irishman: "Well officer, we're sitting here waiting for The Queens Legs to open so we can all have a drink."

*Note: This joke is much better spoken than read.
