You wanna know the impressive part? Deadpool got his fingers cut off just before telling this joke. You think that's easy? Well, let me remind you: Bob Newhart, Lenny Bruce, Robert Klein, George Carlin, Richard Pryor, Steve Martin, Bill Hicks, Eddie Izzard...not one of these greats have performed without their fingers. If James Doohan had done stand-up comedy, he might be one-tenth as impressive as Deadpool. But he didn't. So there you go: another superhero who can tell a joke better than Batman.
Join us again next week when Storm recites dirty limericks better than Batman!

I've always heard this as the guy showing up with a wheelbarrow full of sand, and eventually revealing he was stealing wheelbarrows.
Haw! Now that's a joke! And a pretty decent delivery, all things considered. Obviously, Wolverine doesn't have much of a sense of humor.
My favorite idea that Phil "Nitpicker's Guide to Star Trek" Farrand ever had: "Who Mourns For Adonais?". Apollo zaps Scotty through the phaser, which is vaporized with such heat that it costs him a finger. Kids freak out, McCoy is powerless to fix it, we all forget about that "Vulcans' inner eyelids" nonsense from "Operation: Annihilate!", the end.
Oh, yeah, the actual topic! I, um...I also heard it as "wheelbarrows".
