The Velvet Underground Jokes thread

Post by iaredatsun »

I thought it was time to collect all the Velvet Underground jokes in one place. In case someone enterprising person decides to collect them all and publish a book. I don't actually know any, but this one popped into my head a minute ago. It's pretty terrible.

Q. What do you call a Stephanie who's been out in the sun too long?

A. Baked Alaska.

I said it was terrible.

I think these will go in the Velvet Underground Book of Riddles. I feel I should know the answers but don't. I kind of hope there are no answers.

The Velvets were discussing existentialism.

"To do is to be" said John, the European classicist, quoting Socrates.

"To be is to do" said Sterling the medievalist, holding up his copy of The White Goddess, albeit he knew he was bluffing.

Lou pointed to his collection of fifties and sixties bop singles and slurred a few words. "Do - be - do - be - dooby dooby do".


[There are no Velvets jokes. You just have to slot them into existing jokes.]

Wait ... I think I have one.

Two fans were visiting Scotland and booked a Velvet Underground Magical Mystery Tour.

They jumped on the coach and ended up at the Stirling Morrisons.

(Well, maybe this won't be funny outside the UK.)

I'm reading the latest Velvet Underground biography. Not brilliant, but it's a good loo read.

Tasteless satire ... but it exists. Do not read if easily offended.
