Matthew Perry's Joke: Fans Weigh In

His joke certainly is polarizing. Ellen's co-host for the day, Matthew Perry, got feedback from Ellen's viewers on his joke, via voicemail.

The thing with Matthew Perry is, he looks serious most of the time, but in reality its because he's working on a joke.

[Ashshep]

This is why Matthew Perry is my favorite actor/comedian

I wish I could hear from Janice... and her laugh.

Am I the only person who doesn't know the joke?

So this is the joke for all the people in the comment section who don't know the joke:
A guy was standing on the streets of New York screaming at the top of his lungs "Puppets! Puppets! Puppets! Puppets!"
A guy walks up to him and asks "How's business going?" And he says "Business!"


That's it! That literally it!
It's probably the way he told the story that made it funny

the last "this not matthew, good bye" part was not matthew perry...it was totally chandler bing!

[thefoolmagushermit]

[teeMutairi]

Ahahaha now it doesn't matter if you think his joke was funny, that was hilarious! And I love that bit with Lauren Graham! 2 of my favorite people! Hilarious!

[liabernardo]

[junkie]

[Bronwyngough]

A man is on a street cornor and he's yelling "puppets, puppets, puppets!" then a man walks up to him and asks "So how's business?" and the guy on the side walk goes "Business?" XD

[che_ana]

OMG, Lauren!!! So happy to hear her (:

[Sonal]

I love how Matthew has the ability to laugh at himself too :)

[cmaniga]

Lauren Graham...she's an actress...known best for playing Lorelai Gilmore on Gilmore Girls. She was also Steve Carrell's wife in Evan Almighty, and now she is on Parenthood.

If it was Amy, perhaps we'd hear her speaking in song lyrics...or screaming...

[milobeltran]

I CAN'T STOP LAUGHING WHEN LAUREN CALL HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
