A Solid Vikings Super Bowl Joke

By Dan O'Donnell

Story Created: Feb 5, 2010 at 12:16 PM CST

This one's apparently making the email rounds.  Not bad, not bad at all:

 

A man goes to the Minnesota Vikings ticket office and inquires about purchasing super bowl tickets.  The ticket teller replies that there weren't any tickets for sale because the Vikings did not make it to the Super Bowl.

The following day the same man goes to the Minnesota Vikings ticket office and inquires about purchasing Vikings Super Bowl tickets.  The ticket teller politely replies that there weren't any tickets for sale because the Vikings did not make it to the Super Bowl.


This goes on for an entire week.  The man again goes to the Viking ticket office inquiring about Super Bowl tickets and the teller says none are for sale because the Vikings did not make it to the Super Bowl.

Another week of this goes by and the man still is asking the ticket teller about Viking Super Bowl tickets.  Finally the ticket teller in a loud voice says, "I'VE TOLD YOU FOR THE LAST 2 WEEKS THERE WERE NOT ANY TICKETS AVAILABLE BECAUSE THE VIKINGS DID NOT MAKE IT TO THE SUPER BOWL!!!"

The man replied, "I know. I drive all the way from Green Bay just to hear you say that."

    Thanks Dan, I hadn't heard that you yet. It made my day. The only thing that will be funnier is all the Favre nut cases who will get totally unglued about it and go right into full attack mode.

    Hilarious!

    Are the Packers playing in this year's Superbowl?

    Did they make it to the NFC Championship game?

    How many times did they crush the Vikings this year?

    You sore losers should get over it already. I've watched Favre play ever since he replaced the injured Majik-Man and he's an exciting player to watch no matter what team he's on.

    Get over it and recognize ALL the great things Favre did for the Pack over the past 17 years.

    Wow. Apparently PM Magnum is omniscient because right on cue, Eric pipes up and proves him right. Priceless..

    Favre nuts have no sense of humor. I almost spilled my coffee from laughing - both at the joke and the comments.

    Much better Vikings Super Bowl joke:

    What do the Minnesota Vikings and marijuana have in common? Everytime you put them in a bowl they get smoked.

    Let's see. Personally Dan, I think that you could have gotten the same thrill by phoning in your ticket requests every day instead of wasting all of that driving time and fuel cost by driving to Minneapolis every day. But it was really a cute deal! Points for creativity also, with such a short list of blog topics, it must be hard to come up with new angles.

    Poor Eric. That's a great joke, that's been around long before Brent Faraway.
    Packer fans hate the Vikings and love their misery. I'm sure it's vice versa.
    The joke doesn't even mention Brent.
    Packers Forever !

    paulwillie - Who is Brent Faraway, does he play for the Green Day Puckers? Just asking, love your imagination. It's interesting, maybe the bloggers here are secretly wishing they were in Minnesota, or had better material from Wisconsin sports teams to blog about, eh?

    Hey, this is funny! A Packer fan drives 560 miles from Green Bay to Minneapolis and back every day for two weeks just to hear a Vikings ticket teller say that the Vikings aren't in the Super Bowl. Maybe that's why Dan O'Donnel doesn't have any new material, he's spending too much time on the road!

    Vikings fans have to have a sense of humor. How else could they cope with having to cheer for the Vikings?

    The comments are almost at funny. I love the people like "unimpressed". Trying to act so superior but end up looking the fool.

    I meant "as" funny. Hit the wrong key.

    Ellen, you are definitely off key. Cheer up, the Olympics are coming.

    Eric, If you think all the things favre did for 17 years in Green Bay were for the Packers, you've been smokin' some of Dan's joke. Brent proved for the last 2 years that everything he ever does is for himself. It's all about money and attention with him. Always has been, always will be.

    Actually, JB89, that's an old jilting lover refrain. Maybe it's all about an opportunity to go back to the Super Bowl again, same as Ahman Green and most other players. The opportunities are few, no matter what team you play for.

    Those who claim not to find this funny would be saying how funny it was if the teams were reversed. Sad.

    Remember when they were 4-4 all you die hard fans wanted TT and MM gone. Packer fans have been classless this year. Hope that changes,but I doubt it!
