Does anybody know the "bear in the cellar" joke Chris' Uncle Jim tells, that he says is brilliant? I searched for "bear in a cellar" on Google but found nothing.

basically, its a f*ck off huge bear... trapped in a cellar. A guest to the house asks why is there is a bear in your cellar. The bear leaps out and mauls hims to death.

Ive heard that version. I also heard the version where the bear is in the cellar and the landlord says 'whats that commotion downstairs', the tenant says there is a bear in the cellar so they both go down to discuss the advantages of why newtonian physics can suitably describe the orbit of the planets or the energy transformations during a game of pool, while quantum physics describes how electrons surround the nucleus of the atom and other sub atomic actions. The bear says 'F**K this and kills them.

A classic.

I've also heard the one that orginates froma a recording of the 'Goons' radio show.

Harry Secombe: 'There's a bear in you Sellers'
Peter Sellers: 'Don't be silly...'

....Gentle Ben bursts out of Sellers rib cage and cuddles Harry Secombe to death.
