Can someone explain the jokey attitude toward the viola and violists in general? A lot of the jokes about them are funny, but only if you think of the instrument as inferior, so maybe I'm missing something.

What's the deal?

How do you know there's a singer at your door?

They can't find the key, and don't know when to come in.

well in past, violists were violinists who were not good enough to be on the 1st or 2nd violins. this happens in high schools too in the hardcore orchestras. they usually dont have enough violists, so some violinists are made to place viola. also, viola has in general been the least important of the strings. Violins usually the prima donna. Bass very important. Cello has recently gotten lots of melodic material (in romantic). But violas have very little solo material. (i can only think of parts of don quixote and harold in italy). most composers dont write for solo viola, incl. williams. Of course now its kind of changing. Usually violas have rhythmic or harmonic roles so not many people like to play violas.

And:

Why is a bassoon better than an oboe?

The bassoon burns longer.

An alien arrives on earth in the early part of the 19th-century. The first human he meets is Schubert.

In a terrifying robotic voice the alien commands, "Take me to your Lieder."

in an all male brass section what's the difference between the trumpeters and the other instrumentalists?

The other instramentalists can blow their own horn.
