The fact is that they've all circled the internet 500 times, thus the good ones aren't funny because you've heard them before, and the ones you haven't heard are just stupid (Which is probably why you haven't heard them.)
I probably laughed when I heard this the first time:
Quote: | Two weasels are sitting on a bar stool. One starts to insult the other one. He screams, "I slept with your mother!" The bar gets quiet as everyone listens to see what the other weasel will do. The first again yells, "I SLEPT WITH YOUR MOTHER!" The other says, "Go home dad you’re drunk."

Although I don't remember them being weasels. Why weasels anyway? It has no bearing on the joke, and is just misleading. Instead of laughing at the end, you think, "...Wait, why the weasels?"

Yah, after researching the "best" jokes for over a year, you'd think the number one joke would actually make me laugh....
Or maybe these scientists measure how "funny" a joke is by seeing how turned on that section of the brain gets when someone hears it.
"To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public." -- Theodore Roosevelt (1918)
"The danger to political dissent is acute where the Government attempts to act under so vague a concept as the power to protect "domestic security." Given the difficulty of defining the domestic security interest, the danger of abuse in acting to protect that interest becomes apparent. --U.S. Supreme Court decision (407 U.S. 297 (1972)

They discovered the "best" joke by huaving the website up, letting people vote on it. Look around the website a bit, it does explain it.
