Some of our favourite jokes from comedian Sean Lock
1 “Some people say the glass is half empty or half full but to me that’s irrelevant because I’m having another drink.”

4 “For me shoes are just a barrier between dog [bleep] and my socks.”
5 “You got your bag for life?’ Too bloody right I have. Now fill it with vodka or fags. I’m ironic. Let’s see who goes first, me or the bag.”
6 “I like the bonfire thing. I had to take the RSPCA advice quite seriously because they said you should check under your bonfire for sleeping hedgehogs. I couldn’t find any, but luckily I had some in the freezer.”
7 Sean also regularly appeared on BBC trivia show, QI.
Here’s one exchange with former host, Stephen Fry.
Sean: “I hear voices.”
Stephen: “Do you?”
Sean: “But I ignore them and just carry on killing.”
8 “If you permed a fox I think it’d look a bit like Mick Hucknall. I actually think it’d be kinder to perm them than hunt them. And they’d be too embarrassed to go out and bother the sheep.”
9 “A bit of advice: never read a pop-up book about giraffes.”
10 “Interesting fact: a shark will only attack you if you’re wet.”
Sean made a joke about his own obituary
11 Jimmy Carr on 8 Out Of 10 Cats Does Countdown: “What’s a normal day like in the life of Sean Lock?”
Sean: “It’s just eight hours of sleep, six hours of hiding, two hours of regret and apologies, one hour of scratching… and then a bit of telly.”
12 “Imagine what the spider Kama Sutra is like with all those legs.”

13 “I don’t like the Queen. I think it’s absurd that we have a queen. Basically what we’re saying is that we’re no more sophisticated than bees.”
14 “I’m just organised – always put a bit of butter on the knife before I go to bed.”
15 On 8 Out Of 10 Cats Does Countdown, host Jimmy Carr asked: “What do you want your obituary to say?”
“I don’t care. I’ll be dead,” Sean replied. “Ideally I’d like it to say… ‘nooooo… whyyyyyy… nooooo… arrrgh!’ You can’t write tears, Jimmy.”
