Joke of the Week #58

For his birthday Joe received a parrot who had a nasty disposition and an even worse vocabulary. Joe tried everything he could to change the parrot's demeanor; he played soft music, always spoke softly and politely, and always said plenty of nice things to the parrot, but regrettably, nothing ever worked.

Joe got angry. He shook the bird. The bird got worse. He yelled at the bird. The bird got louder and even more rude. Finally, Joe had had enough, so he put the bird in the freezer. The parrot begins squawking loudly; eventually, his voice drops, and then he goes completely silent. Afraid that he might have hurt the bird, Joe throws the freezer door open, upon which the parrot flutters out onto his arm.

"I'm very sorry to have offended you with my language and behavior," the parrot says. "I promise that from now on, I'll behave myself."

Joe was pleasantly surprised at the bird's change in behavior; the parrot then says, "Oh by the way, if I may ask, what did the turkey do?"

Cartoon Showcase:Ferret and Parrot

This short cartoon was originally one of Cartoon Network's candidates for a new series back in 2001.
This humorous little film stars a moody and somewhat naive ferret(not unlike Peach, in a way), his somewhat stoical parrot friend(who has the annoying habit of repeating everything he hears!), and their inept owner(who, coincidentally, bears a passing resemblance to Mimi's dad, Bud). When Ferret spies a comic strip about a cute girl ferret named Yolanda at the bottom of his cage, he's smitten with its protagonist and conspires to ask her out on a dinner date...but this might be easier said than done! Please enjoy!

Joke of the Week #10

George goes to visit his aunt one Sunday. As he's sitting in the living room with her, he notices a parrot standing on a little perch next to his aunt's chair. The parrot has a blue ribbon tied to his left leg and a red ribbon tied to his right leg. George curiously asks his aunt why the parrot has ribbons tied to his legs, to which his aunt responds, "Well, if you pull the blue ribbon, he'll sing, 'It's a Long Way to Tipperary', and if you pull the red ribbon, he'll sing, 'Wait 'Til the Sun Shines, Nellie'."

"How fascinating!" says George. "And what happens if you pull both ribbons at the same time?"

"I fall on my bum, you doofus!" the parrot snaps.

Joke of the Week #9

A magician performs on a cruise ship; due to the fact that the audience differs every time, he never has to be concerned with finding new tricks. Unfortunately for him, the captain's parrot, who's been watching him from the sidelines during every act, has figured out how each trick works and starts calling out things like, "Look, it's in the hat!", "It's hidden behind his back!", "The cards were all the Ace of Clubs!" and such. This aggravates the magician to no end, of course, but there's nothing he can do, since the parrot belongs to the captain. One day, the ship hits a rock and sinks; everyone hurries into life boats, but the magician isn't able to find one in time. He finally manages to find a plank which he safely floats on. The parrot flutters over and lands on the end of the plank. For three days, they float there, saying nothing, until eventually the parrot says, "Okay...I give up. What did you do with the ship?"
