Best ADD Joke Ever?
I’m a big fan of stand up comedy, and one of the all time greats in my opinion is Robin Williams. Last night I watched his most recent stand up show called Weapons of Self-Destruction on HBO. It was filmed at Constitution Hall in Washington DC. I think there were a couple times I was in tears, I was laughing so hard. This man is a stand up comic master.
Robin Williams also has ADD, which is obvious. Only an ADD’er could be as creatively gifted as this! During his stand up routine, Robin told one of the funniest ADD jokes I have ever heard. He was off on a comedic tirade about gymnastics and started discussing the palma horse. Interesting side story, palma is also spelled pommel by some international gymnastic organizations. Here is how the joke sounded by Robin Williams:
- And whats with the palma horse?
- He’s on, no he’s off, he’s on, no he’s off. Make up your mind!!
- Who invented this sport, a cowboy with ADD?
More proof, that ADD can be a very creative and comedic blessing.
