Slapstick, one of the earliest forms of comedy, poked fun at farcical situations of physical mishap and indignity, usually in pratfalls, practical jokes, accidents, acrobatic death-defying stunts, water soakings, or wild chase scenes with trains and cars.
If would like to perform some slapstick comedy on one of your fellow members, please do it here.
Remember: please don't go overboard! :crying

Remember slapstick comedy isn't meant to hurt anyone, but rather humour a crowd!
I'll start us off:
A slapstick joke about Ste getting water soaked:
Ste badly injured his leg skiing one weekend.
By the time he got home Saturday, the leg was very swollen and he was having difficulty walking, so he called his physician at his home.
The doctor told him to soak it in hot water.
He tried soaking it in hot water but the leg became more swollen and painful. His maid saw him limping and said, "I don't know, I'm only a maid, but I always thought it was better to use cold water, not hot, for swelling."
He tried switching to cold water and the swelling rapidly subsided. On Sunday afternoon he called his Dr. again to complain. "Say, what kind of a doctor are you anyway? You told me to soak my leg in hot water and it got worse. My maid told me to use cold water and it got better."
"Really?" answered the doctor, "I don't understand it. My maid said to use hot water."
A train slapstick about Ste
Ste amazingly had never seen railroad tracks or trains before, having lived his whole life in the desert isolated! (which he still is now) So when he heard the train whistle it meant nothing to him. He didn't move out of the way. Fortunately it was only a glancing blow, but it did result in some minor internal injuries, a few broken bones and some bruises and a broken heart, requiring several weeks in the hospital to recover.
Back at his friend's house (he has a friend!) after being released from the hospital, he was in the kitchen when the teakettle started whistling. He immediately grabbed a bat from a nearby closet and bashed the teakettle into an unrecognizable lump of metal.
His friend, hearing the ruckus, rushes into the kitchen, sees what has happened and asks the old and ravaged Ste, "Why'd you do that to my bloody teakettle?"
Ste replies with complete sincerity, "Because, ... you gotta kill them things when they're small!"
