Title: B5 Jokes
Post by: Trivial Psychic on April 06, 2015, 06:33:27 pm
So, my wife has been watching B5 from beginning to end, and I have come across two instances of in-universe jokes being used on the show, two of which are "Light Bulb" jokes.  That prompted me to come up with a few of my own.  Some are funny, others are perhaps worth a shrug.  I will share them in this thread and hope that others chime in with their own.

How many Minbari does it take to screw in a light bulb?  (Different from Sheridan's)
Answer:  3.  The Minbari do everything in threes.

How many Minbari Religious Cast members does it take to screw in a light bulb?
Answer:  None.  They claim that the bulb is not burn out because it was never on in the first place.  The light was coming in from somewhere else.

How many Dock Workers does it take to screw in a light bulb?
Answer:  One to change the light bulb, 4 to hold the ladder as per safety regulations, and 30 to scrounge enough parts to build the replacement bulb since there isn't enough money in the budget to buy a new one.

How many Gaim does it take to screw in a light bulb?
Answer:  Only one, but it takes the Queens weeks to grow the specific breed of Gaim for the explicit purpose of changing said light bulb.

How many Psi Cops does it take to change a light bulb?
Answer:  None.  They just implant the compulsion into someone else's mind to do it for them.

How many Drazi does it take to screw in a light bulb?
Answer:  Only one, but it takes the entire Drazi people a whole year of beating the tar out of each other to determine whether the light bulb will be Green or Purple.

Time for someone else to chime in.  Either with one of their own or with a better punchline.

A Shadow, a Vorlon, and Lorien went to Space Bar, and it all got quite out of hand fast. The Space Bar staff had to call in the Space Cops to deal with the inebriated trio.

While they were being hauled to Space Police Station at the back of the Space Police Hauler, they woke up, and each asked a question from the nearest Space Police officer...

Ehhhhh, this thread's only going to go one way, like all the others. Soon, the other races in the galaxy will be in here trolling and wheeling out the same old "arrogance and stupidity" jokes about the start of the Earth-Minbari War... :rolleyes:

The Rangers take it a step farther, it's a holiday for single people instead of couples.  "Live for the one, die for the one", right?
