Time for the rundown. I did the Tony Snow, razor in sandwich, Ahmadinejad, gas prices, cannabis painting and fake cigar jokes.

Cinco de Mayo/Patrick KEnnedy joke - predictable and unnecessary. And I don't think Kennedy was drinking.

Second Cinco de Mayo joke - not funny. Jokes like this have been done before.

Moussaoui - lacked a good punchline.

Scott McClellan - predictable Bush joke, it fell flat.

Porter Goss Resignation - the punchline didn't make any sense.

Immigrant boycotts - again, a bad punchline ruined what could have been a good joke.

Woman fired for using computer - yet another poor punchline.

Kentucky Derby - this wasn't even funny.

Tina Fey's commentary - I didn't find this the least bit funny. There seemed to be more hostility than humor.

Rosie O'Donnell - a cliche lesbian joke, didn't do a thing for me.

Narcoleptic comedian - this "comedians with an odd/detrimental schtick" routine that comes up on WU is long past its prime. Donnie's jokes weren't that funny, and the whole thing about the comedian dozing off in the middle of his bit is reminiscent of a piece done by Patton Oswalt. Tina and Amy's side commentary wasn't that good either, in my opinion.

James Gandolfini accident - another stale Bush joke, enough of these already!

Anna Nicole pregnancy - bad celebrity-centered joke.

Woman arrested for sex with stepson - again, an unoriginal, worn-out punchline.

Snoop Dogg's novel - don't know how many time's I've said this, but it was ruined by a CLICHE PUNCHLINE.

Wow, not the best WU we've had. I hope I don't get any nasty responses for my criticism. But I just didn't find any of the jokes that funny. Sorry.
