You know, I think somebody may have asked that once before, and if there were any, they don't stick in my mind! :rolleyes:

 

I think the biggest joke is the legions of Sherlock fans who are willing to wait year after year after year for 3 -- count 'em, THREE -- new episodes. :d

Hello Brandon and welcome to the forum! :wave:

That took me longer than I'd care to admit to understand, even with your hint - but thanks, I wouldn't have stood a chance otherwise. ^_^ Wordplay and puns are about the most difficult things to understand for a non-native speaker. Cockney rhyming slang is the worst in that regard. :wacko:

NObody understands Cockney rhyming slang -- which is the whole point, I guess. It's sort of a code, known only by the in-crowd.

 

Welcome to the forum, Brandon! :welcome: Thanks for the joke -- I was beginning to think we'd have to change the name of this thread to "Do you know more than one Sherlock Holmes joke?"

Actually, I think that's more of a "Funny Sherlock Picture."   :offtopic:   But hey, it's not like we're exactly swamped with Holmes jokes!

Well, there was a 'why did the chicken cross the road' one, but it wasn't as good. Desperate times ;)

What did Dr Watson say about Sherlock

There are no police like Holmes. There are no police like Holmes… 

one more!!!

 

 

... or perhaps (especially in the case of "our" Sherlock), "Be he never so humble, there's no police like Holmes."

 

When last seen, Mrs. Hudson was cross-stitching that on a sampler.

This isn't a specific joke, but it occurred to me when I watched the BBC "Sherlock" series, in which impolite language may be used.  I'm imagining Holmes and Watson inspecting a crime scene and for some reason related to the particular case, they are expecting some sort of excrement to be found.  When it is not, Holmes asks Watson, "What do make of this, Watson?"  To which Watson replies, "No shit, Sherlock."

Cute, and you're right, that would presumably have been approved by the BBC censors -- though they would have had to modify that punch line for the American broadcast.  (It's been OK to say "crap" on American broadcast TV for twenty-some years, but as far as I know "shit" is still forbidden.)

I think there was one instance in I-don't-recall-which Sherlock episode where John exclaims "Shit!" -- clearly designed so that the entire scene could be omitted without harming the plot -- but that was in an early season, #2 I think, when the US broadcast was shorter than the UK one.  In season 4, when the US broadcast included the entire thing, there were several instances where they simply muted the dialog for certain individual words.
