[kj] ot.alex. Funny KJ tracks?

[Alexander Smith]

Ironic humor and laugh out loud guffaws are kinda two different  
things, though. I mean, I certainly smile and my laugh with a  
vengeful cackle when I hear Killing Joke, but it's more out of a  
sense of some sort've vindication (as in: "YES! THIS IS IT!") rather  
than at something that I think is amusing or funny.

Geordie being blue in that video (let alone Jaz as Moses) is indeed  
worthy of a chuckle, I suppose.
