Previous joke of the week winners

August 11th, 2010

This one came in from Grace Brownlie:

A young boy enters a barber shop and the barber whispers to his customer, “This is the dumbest kid in the world. Watch while I prove it to you.”

The barber puts a dollar bill in one hand and two quarters in the other, then calls the boy ove…r and asks, “Which do you want, son?” The boy takes the quarters and leaves.

“What did I tell you?” said the barber. “That kid never learns!”

Later, when the customer leaves, he sees the same young boy coming out of the ice cream store. “Hey, son! May I ask you a question? Why did you take the quarters instead of the dollar bill?” The boy licked his cone and replied, “Because the day I take the dollar, the game is over!”

My two mischievous little cake makers were given a bit of praise from the Guardian last week:

Still hasn’t stopped the fighting though….. at the moment they are at logger heads after Bernie spilled a jug of coffee over Barry’s 25 patent designs for his crazy kitchen inventions….At least with Barry going back to the drawing board there might be some peace and quiet…

We have just received an email from the wonderful Stephanie. We love getting feedback!

July 5th, 2010

‘Hi guys,

My name is Stefania and I’m a student in Marketing in Dublin. Last weekend I went on the Intercity train and during the long travel, (more than 3 hours), an amazing graphic kept my attention…they were your ads on the on-board menu. The subject and the colours were so clever…I took it home with me and I checked the website. I have to say guys that you did absolutely great job, it’s interactive, young and pretty fun. Did you create the graphics and the characters by yourselves? The packaging of the products is perfect and maybe it’s just me, but it was the first time that i heard about you, or i saw your cakes…Is it possible to find your products in some shop in town? I’m going to follow your updates. Well done and good luck!

Stefania’

Thanks Stefania, we love to receive feedback! Our bars are available in Cafes and Spar shops in Ireland.  If you don’t see us, please ask!


P.S. Bernard apologies for the Irish Rail Service.

Who was crowned ‘Eejit of the Week?!’

July 2nd, 2010

Wait for it, we didn’t find just one eejit but three! We just couldn’t decide because they were all so grand, congratulations to everyone! I hope you and your families enjoy your Brodericks treats! Here are what the winning jokes were…

Winner 1

There was a guy in a bar one night that got really drunk, I mean really, really, really drunk. When the bar closed he got up to go home. As he stumbled out the door he saw a nun walking on the sidewalk. So he stumbled over to the nun and punched her in the face. Well the nun was really surprised but before she could do or say anything he punched her again. This time she fell down and he stumbled over to her and kicked her in the butt. Then he picked her up and threw her into a wall. By this time the nun was pretty weak and couldn’t move. So then he stumbled over to her, put his face right next to hers and said:

“Not very strong tonight, are you Batman?”

Winner 2

A man is sitting reading the paper when his wife hits him across the head. He says, “what’s that for”. She says, “I’ve found a piece of paper in your pocket with the name ‘Mary Ellen’ on it”. Quick as a flash he replies, “that was the name of a horse from the races last week!” – which she accepts. A week later she hits him over the head with a frying pan! He says, “what the f..k was that for?” She replies, “Your f…..g horse phoned.

Winner 3

A couple of New Jersey hunters are out in the woods when one of them falls to the ground. He doesn’t seem to be breathing, his eyes are rolled back in his head. The other guy whips out his cell phone and calls the emergency services. He gasps to the operator: “My friend is dead! What can I do?” The operator, in a calm, soothing voice, says: “Just take it easy. I can help. First, let’s make sure he’s dead.” There is a silence, then a shot is heard. The guy’s voice comes back on the line. He says: “Okay, now what?”
