Study: A bad joke could be dangerous
"First, such canned humor often disrupts the natural flow of conversation. And jokes that fail to deliver humor are a violation of a social contract, so punishing the teller can discourage similar behavior in the future."

That just CRACKS me up!

1. "Even more terrifying is comedian-on-comedian violence"
"such as last year's brawl in which Jon Lovitz banged Andy Dick's head into a bar."

I don't think that was about a failed joke, but I don't care because the term comedian-on-comedian violence is just riotously funny :P
