The Lighter Side of Things


© David Ye

As with many things, there are always people who are going to make fun of them, and one of the more popular forms of humour comes in the form of jokes. As you may or may not have seen, there are many Babylon 5 sites out there on the Web, and in turn many of those have Babylon 5 humor in them. But they have basically the same type of humour between them (some are so remarkably similiar, I suspect they have been copied from someone else's web page with minor changes made to the contents). It is basically common everyday jokes being rewritten to suit Babylon 5 - with some unique content taken from the show (mostly from season 1) but, all in all, these are the catagories they could be classified into:

knock knock jokes
Top ten things to do
Top ten reasons why....
John and Delenn jokes
Why did the chicken cross the road jokes
Light bulb jokes
jokes that explore the "what if" scenarios

Now of course most of these jokes we have all heard before such as the Knock Knock ones (and they are very sad), but many of them are surprisingly funny - especially the ones involving the chicken jokes and the J&D ones. They pick on the unique features of the alien cultures and rituals within the show and bring it out in a very humorous manner. Of course some of the jokes are on the edge of good taste, but that boils down to one's interpretation of them. But if you're feeling bored or just wanted to see the lighter side of Babylon 5, the humour pages are the way to go.

For some good jokes check out The John and Delenn Site and go to the humor section.
