The Last Refugee Jokes

Jokes in TLR are common, although there are some jokes that are rather iconic or repeated enough to where it is known by all. These jokes, also known as shitty jokes or [REDACTED], tend to be looked down upon after enough repetition, however, some live on in infamy, as various members of The Last Refugee make various media related to these jokes, ranging from memes to entire albums.

### Stone

This joke originates from the song Dogs by Pink Floyd. At the timestamp 7:56, the word stone gets said, and for the next few minutes of the song, the word is echoed while Richard Wright goes ham on the synthesizer. This joke became a repetitive word that people said at random. Around this time, people began using 🗿 as a placeholder. The word stone is also corelated to Roger Waters , with a lot of people often calling him the stone man. This joke evolved, however, to a reddit joke (r/pinkfloydcirclejerk) and is not used often in The Last Refugee anymore.

### "My balls"

My Balls is a rather political joke in TLR. The joke comes from the song Mother from the album The Wall. At the timestamp of 0:38, Roger Waters says "my balls." The comedy behind this comes from the fact that my balls refers to the male genitalia, specifically the scrotum.

This joke became popularized by Thatguy, who would often say it with no context, or send an audio file titled "my balls" with the two seconds of audio of Roger Waters saying "my balls." the file can be seen below.

This joke has gained a controversy, however. Users such as the infamous Pooba (sometimes referred to as tuba) would declare that the joke was "redundant" and annoying. Thatguy went on, and began the subordinate server "The Balls Project," and shortly after, alongside other users, made the album The Balls. This album served as the death of the commonness of the joke, however, as the album itself killed the joke (this will not be the last we see of My Balls however).

### Bread

The joke "Bread" comes from Roger Water's solo career album The Pros and Cons of Hitchhiking. The song that the joke is in is Sexual Revolution, at approximately 4:44. Roger Waters screams out the word BREAD. This joke became popular for similar reasons of My Balls, with a random file (seen below) or the word itself being randomly sent in the chat.

### Cars 2...

Once more a blunt, random statement, Cars 2... is a reference to the movie Cars 2. The joke was popularized by Redmond, however, and rather than being considered "annoying" like the previous jokes, Cars 2... remains a common statement in The Last Refugees.

### the gu

the gu is a joke that originates from a r/pinkfloyd meme, where spotify displays the words "the gu" when playing The Gunner's Dream from Pink Floyd's album The Final Cut. This image (seen below) was originally posted by Pooba (see below) and has become another repetitive staple of The Last Refugees

### A New Machine

A New Machine, taken from A Momentary Lapse of Reason, is another joke. The main comedy behind this one is the, well, everything of this song, where David Gilmour goes AAAAAAAAAAAAA. This joke is often used to surprise others, and is just funny because of the AAAAAAA.

### 17 yah yah

On March 21st 2021, an user named "sksns" joined the server just to promote his new rap song. Sacra asked: "did you just join the server just to promote your song?" He said: "pretty much." So ge (#1 elp enjoyer) and benji said "i'll check it out". Some time later, just because yes, sksns said "17 yah yah". Why? Nobody knows.
