Some Skippers are much better than others. When we were there back in 2012 there was a younger female Skipper that must have worked nights as a stand up comic. She was really good and had the whole boat in stitches. Same lame jokes but what a delivery.

Exactly. Delivery is everything, from timing to facial expression to even the tone of voice.
We've had some great skippers and some terrible skippers over the years - and they all use the same script. It just goes to show it's not what you say... it's how you say it.
Hoping to go back to the Magic soon.

Last summer, as we pulled into the dock at the end of the ride, our skipper said, "Now here's one last joke for all you psychics out there"...
Yup that was all she said. We cracked up.

This wins. It's awesome when you get a skipper like that.

That's great! A test for any skipper is when they need to vamp while boats are backed up to unload at the dock. Once in that situation at Disneyland, I had the following exchange with our skipper:
SKP: "So, where's everyone from?"
ME: "Pennsylvania."
SKP: "I'm sorry?"
ME: "Pennsylvania."
SKP: "No, I'm just sorry."
Magic.

"Look at that large snake in the tree. What's it called? I can't remember. Starts with "P"......"
Some passenger usually replies "Python."
"Nope. Plastic."
"Park's closed. Moose out front should have told ya."
