In most cultures, humor (or humour) was vastly affected by Doomsday and its aftermath. Many people have turned to jokes and humour as a way of relieving tension.

This page hopes to documents all types of humour and jokes that have become popular in the time since Doomsday.

Doomsday jokes[]

Cannibalism[]

(Immediately after Doomsday cannibalism was common.)

Two cannibals were deciding what to eat. Cannibal #1 says 'What do you want?', so cannibal #2 says 'Can we have a Chinese?'. A few minutes later they were tucking in; cannibal #1 says 'this doesn't taste like a Chinese'; cannibal #2 says 'I couldn't find any Chinese'.

.

"This clown tastes funny."

.

"Mama, mama. I do not like grandpa."

"Shut up and finish eating."

.

"Hey! This doesn't taste anything like hickory smoked!"

"Yeah, you're actually eating some guy's carcinoma."

.

The cannibal tribes (before the war) were relieved to realise that cannibalism is now commonplace.

Although not an actual joke, joking references to cannibalism have found their way into everyday slang in many places, generally in reference to meat products of dubious quality, e.g. kiddie pies, baby burgers, baby on a stick, etc. There are also occasional comments by people presented with dubious looking pies, stews, etc, to the effect of 'oh, so that's what's happened to (insert name of someone who's missing) ' although this is generally considered rather crass.

Radiation[]

A joke that has done the rounds across the former UK, usually with the neighbouring town's name added in:

In the small town of .....(add town name here).....

A young boy asks his grandfather: "Grandpa, is it true that, in 1983, there was a nuclear war?"

"Yes, there was, son." — answered the Grandpa and patted his grandson on the top of his head.

"Grandpa, is it true that it had absolutely no consequences?" asked the boy

"Yes, absolutely" — answered the Grandpa, as he patted his grandson's second head. (Often added: "And they strolled off together, wagging their tails").

Another one is:

How many (insert name of town/country here) does it take to change a light bulb?

Answer: None, they simply hold the bulb and it glows on its own!

A rather more tasteless (not to mention groan worthy) one:

"I went to a party in (insert name of nuked town here); it was a blast."

Anti-nation jokes[]

Pre-Doomsday nations[]

Anti-DSA[]

Among the nations that have cropped up in the former United Kingdom, there is a feeling that the people who went to South Africa and formed the nation of the Dominion were cowards, and numerous jokes have been made on this topic. For example:

King Andrew has announced that the Dominion will be changing its national anthem. The new anthem will be the Del Shannon tune "Runaway"

And:

Q: Why don't they use fireworks in the Dominion anymore?

A: Because every time there's a display everyone runs to the docks.

During the DSA vs Cleveland game at the 2010 World Cup, the Cleveland supporters (a mixture of mainly Cleveish and Lancastrian individuals along with people from other British survivor states) indulged in the tradition of mocking the opposing side, on this occasion taking their inspiration from Monty Python:

Brave King Andrew ran away.

Bravely ran away away.

When danger reared its ugly head,

They bravely turned their tails and fled.

Yes, brave King Andrew turned about

And gallantly they chickened out.

Bravely taking to their feet,

They beat a very brave retreat.

Bravest of the braaaave, King Andrew!


Many jokes formerly applied to the French by the British (generally in the vein of 'surrender monkeys') have been changed to fit the Dominion.

Anti-Woodbridge[]

"There is so little in the world, and yet you prosper. How do you do it?

"Are you sure? You can't do it just by that."

"Okay, maybe not."


A Spanish priest, an Andorran priest and a Basque priest are talking about how to distribute the money through collections:

The Basque says: We drew a line on the ground and threw coins into the air, those falling to the right went to God and those that to fall to the left to the parish.

The Spanish says: We traced a circle on the floor and threw coins, those falling within the circle to God and those that fall outside the parish.

The Andorran says: We launched the coins into the air. Those that continued flying were for Him, and those that fell went to the parish.
