Stephen Hawking: The Stand-Up Comedian

He was a luminary in the field of physics. And he also had an amazing sense of humor.

He recently passed away. This is a tribute.

Here are 7 of Stephen Hawking's funniest self-deprecating jokes:

So my friend tried to call me the other week . . .
. . . but all he was getting was an automated answer.

I had a heart attack earlier this year . . .
. . . the ambulance took me to PC world for repairs.

I can finally get an erection . . .
. . . the doctors disabled my pop-up blocker.

People think I'm really smart. But when people you ask me a question I type in the answer on my little computer screen. How do you know I am not just googling that shit before I answer?

I tell my kids: Don't spend all your time at the computer."
But then I realize, I do that myself all day.

Some people say I have a chip on my shoulder but it is actually my chin.

I felt ill the other day, but all they had to do was to turn me off, and then back on again.
