Rate on intrinsic humor (Score:5, Insightful)
It's hard in this case though because the jokes are so old and tend to fit closely to five or six templates. Because this means they have very little impact, I tried rating them based on how funny I thought they would be if they were new to me and expressed a bit more concisely, which I found a complicated exercise.
If this thing could be loaded with new jokes, or at least varied jokes, it'd be very interesting to observe the results. for example, would we find that people who like gender-stereotype jokes also like lawyer jokes? Would we find that people who like engineering jokes also like pun-based jokes?
Alas, without a system for users to submit their own jokes I don't think there's enough data in the system to get useful results out of it.
P.S. Shakespeare walks into a pub. And the barman says, "Sorry, you're bard."
P.P.S. So this bear walks into a bar, and the bear says "I'd like a......... beer, please." And the barman says "What's with the big pause?"
P.P.P.S. So this woman walks into a bar, and asks for a double entendre. So the barman gives her one.

So this guy walks into a bar arm-in-arm with a grizzly bear, and the guy says, "hey, bartender, do you serve lawyers here?" The bartender looks at him and at the grizzly and says "uh, yeah, sure we serve lawyers here." "Good," says the guy, "I'll have a beer. And the grizzly will have a lawyer."
So this one-armed grizzly walks into a bar and says "I'm looking for the man who shot my paw."

A golfer who was well into his golden years had a lifelong
ambition to play one hole at Pebble Beach, California the way the
pros do it. The pros drive the ball out over the water onto the
green that is on a spit of land that juts out off the coast.
It was something he had tried hundreds of times without
success. His ball always fell short, into the water. Because of
this he never used a new ball on this particular hole. He always
