Chad I know exactly what you are talking about and I agree these "jokes" have to stop. Probably 50% of the emails I get every day are stupid jokes from my coworkers which just really aren't that funny. UGH!
The best part of that story was that I could imagine you telling it standing in front of me. FUCK OFFICE JOKES! <3
Office jokes are like "Dad Jokes". If they're ever funny, its only because of how lame they are. You should have responded by introducing your foot to his face.
The jokes in my old office were good, because it was full of young people like myself who wanted to have a laugh.
However there were some... "office people" who acted almost exactly like that.
Also whilst filing one day, I saw this on the wall and had to take a picture.
To this day I still don't know what message it's trying to convey!

My office colleagues are the same, I like having a nice talk to them about stuff but dear god they always laugh at nothing and say crap I don't care about, that annoys me but when I try and bring my own humour to the table that is a bit too smart for them they ask me to explain it to them so it's just pure fail even talking to these people!
Agreed. Painfully bad office jokes become the norm when you have to interact every day with people who you share absolutely no interests with. That reminds me, I have to force myself to like football so I can start talking to people at work.
Usually the jokes that go around my office are vulgar sex jokes. It's not the typical office atmosphere though. If it was I think somebody would have sued for sexual harassment.
I don't work in an office, but I have customers tell me the same "jokes" all the time. I don't think they're even jokes, but they think they're pretty funny and original.
Punch the guy in the balls the next time you see him, then you can say "what, didn't you get the memo?"
I hate office chit-chat, since they know nothing about you (usually because they're self-absorbed) they'll just make a conversation based on what the see on you at that time. Like if you have a tuna sandwich they'll say "Tuna sandwich huh? Yeah good stuff".
It's completely infuriating because of how transparently shallow it is. Like the person feels obliged to make some sort of chit chat even though they don't want to know you.
Fuck office jokes, and fuck offices.
(Yeah I'm kinda pissed, sorry I just had to get that out and this felt like an appropriate time :P)

Office jokes have taught me one thing: about 90% of the people that work in offices are not funny in the slightest.
consider this, the new memo.

What you should have said was "No, the cat pissed all over my fucking shit. But it's okay, I killed it."
Wait a second, Chad is expressing anger? Oh god the world must be ending.
QUICK WE NEED TEXT SMILEY FACES IN THIS BLOG STAT!!!

This happened to me just last week. My co-worker buddy and I ended up wearing green pants and a yellow shirt, and we heard that all day long. One guy even took out a camera and took a pic. Amusing this was. It's happened to us a couple of times over the years, and always gets a few chuckles.
I've worked in "cubicle environments" for a while, and everyone is usually at least five years older than me. I've always been under the assumption that anyone older than me just doesn't have a sense of humor, because these are the only "jokes" I've heard at work over the past 6 years. The shitty thing is that I'm finally at a place where even the bosses have a sense of humor, but the pay is shit and I'm going to have to quit for something that pays better.
That makes Sheep a sad panda...

and this is just one reason i like working at a game company. like-minded people with (usually) the same sense of humor.
I don't work in an office, but what I hate is when customers feel the need to tell me about their day and why they are buying a certain product. I don't give a shit about what you did today, just give me the money you owe me and GTFO!
Working hard or hardly working? Ehur hur hur. No? How about that "hang in there" cat poster every lady older than 40 seems to have in their office? Come on, now that's clever.
This one lady where I work has a little sign that says something "I'm imagining duct tape over your mouth right now". It's only slightly funny because she's the type that would actually do.

Chad wear a yellow shirt, let him say the line and when he does go completely dead pan say:
"Yeah I know cutbacks, I can't believe all those people are getting fired. Hey I think I saw your name on there"
DO NOT break the dead pan and just pleasurably absorb the slow dawning of fear across this simpletons facial features.

I'm just going to sneak into your office one day and say "I see you got the memo. The dolphin memo". Then, leave a live dolphin (complete with hat) and run.
Your move, Mr. Concelmo.

My office . . . ok my team specifically doesn't stoop to regular office joke. If we do, we're being smart asses about them.
We skew toward "your face" jokes and horrible puns.

Does Destructoid have a word filter? I've tried commenting (with some words that some douche-cunts might find "offensive") and it isn't showing up.
Chad, I am also going to need you to come in this weekend. Oh and don't forget about those TPS reports. I don't know if you got the memo.
Nobody panic! I just ate a rainbow sherbet ice cream cone and ran through a field of poppies. Angry/Emo Chad has left the building. Phew! :)
Chad going to storm his office with an AK killing everyone yelling "THAT FUCKING JOKE IS NOT FUNNY!"? CONFIRMED.
:)

Completely agree. Everyone at my workplace is about ten years older than I am, so it's hard to relate in the first place. And as much as I think Officespace and anything Mike Judge does is great, the incessant quoting of it makes me gag. It's like they realize there's a problem in the system and *refuse to fix it*.
My buddy at work right now is Dragon Quest IV. It just speaks to me in strange accents.
Incidentally, they find my oh-so-real pleas for death at the system they make me develop for *hilarious*. Sick bastards.
