I feel like it's time for me to speak out about the "that's what she said" joke that is being misunderstood by a sadly high amount of people.
This joke has been around for decades, but was popularized again by the Michael Scott character on The Office. The point behind this is that the joke is so overdone and so easy and idiotic that the writers figured Michael Scott would totally latch on to something like that. Just look at the history of Michael Scott. His main schtick is that he thinks he's funny but no one else does with the exception of other dumb people (Holly, Packer, etc.)
Unfortunately, there are people out there who have re-adopted this joke thinking it's actually funny. I have news for you people, IT'S NOT! It's easily one of the dumbest jokes one can make. You can add it to almost any sentence. The people who think it's funny use it all the time and expect this uproar of laughter each time. We all know these guys. This guy could be a total stranger in line in front of you at Subway, say "that's what she said" to his buddy, laugh hysterically at his own joke, then turn around to see if I not only heard the joke but are also laughing. I wasn't. Nobody who has half a brain would.
So to all the mouth-breathers out there who are using this joke thinking it's going to catapult them to comedy stardom, please stop. It's only meant to be funny in an ironic way. If you don't realize that, you are the type of person they are making fun of with the Michael Scott character.
