"Do you want to hear a funny joke?" I'm sorry. I wasn't aware of any other kind. Just ask me if I want to hear a joke. Period.
The word "funny" is implied in the word "joke." That's what a joke is -- funny -- or at least it's supposed to be. If it isn't, it's not really a joke; therefore, I don't want to hear it.
It's not necessary to insert "funny" into the sentence. It's another one of life's redundancies. I told you there were a lot of them. Now do you believe me?
Now go ahead and tell me your joke. I'll determine whether or not it's funny.
Something tells me it's not.
