So Richard Wiseman of the University of Hertfordshire set up a website called Laugh Lab to try to find the funniest joke in the world.
After about 40,000 submissions, rated by 1.5 million people, he finally found the world's funniest joke.
Two hunters are out in the woods when one of them collapses.
He doesn't seem to be breathing and his eyes are glazed.
The other guy whips out his phone and calls the emergency service.
He gasps and says,
My friend is dead! He's dead! What can I do?
The operator says,
Hey, calm down. I can help.
First, let's just make sure he's actually dead.
Then there's a silence.
And all of a sudden a gunshot's heard.
And then the guy gets back on the phone and says,
Okay, what now?
Nothing?
Come on, you know that's good.
You know it's good.
There's a smile.
Oh, oh, oh, almost.
Did you not hear the joke?
I heard it.
I'm going to read it one more time because I just don't think you guys get like really good humor.
Because this is like really good joke.
It's proven.
I'm going to do it one more time.
You guys ready?
Two hunters out in the woods when one of them collapses.
Oh, no.
Calls 9-1-1.
My friend's dead.
What can I do?
The operator says,
Hey, calm down.
First, you just got to make sure he's actually dead.
And all of a sudden a gunshot noise.
The guy gets back on the phone and says,
Okay, now what?
Oh, wow.
Maybe you just don't have a sense of humor.
Oh, ----.
You get it?
Yeah, I definitely get it.
Is that a tiny laugh?
Yeah, that was a tiny laugh.
Oh, there's a laugh there.
That's kind of a laugh.
That's a laugh.
Oh, my gosh.
So much funny.
I mean, I don't know.
I think I heard some laughter.
Close enough.
So thank you guys so much for playing.
Wow.
I am the funniest person you've ever met.
Look at more laughter.
Wait a minute.
Let's look ahead of ourselves here.
I mean, I made you laugh like on command.
This joke is still the best joke ever.

Proven.
Phone the guy says,
Okay, now what?
Nothing.
Ah, stone cold.
