* [[Jimmy Carr]], after his delayed reaction to the audience after this joke:

{{quote|"People like to smoke a cigarette after sex, but you can't buy cigarettes until you're sixteen, so I have to buy them for ''both'' of us. [To audience] You think it's wrong I'm buying a fifteen-year-old cigarettes? [Realizing] You think it's wrong I'm ''fucking her?''"}}

* [[Jeff Foxworthy]] describes how, growing up, the mailbox outside his family's house had the letters "male" painted on the side of it. By the time he was in the eleventh grade Jeff realized "That ain't right. That M's supposed to be capitalized, innit?"

* German comedian Otto Waalkes once made this joke: "In the 16th century, Nostradamus predicted: 'And in the year of 1985, a red-haired young man from Leimen named [[wikipedia:Boris Becker|Boris]] will win the final in Wimbledon' - which is complete nonsense: First, my name is Erwin,<ref>Otto's persona</ref> not Boris; second, I'm blond, not red-haired; third, I'm not from Leimen, but from Emden; and fourth, if I had won the 1985 Wimbledon, I'd definitely remember that."
