It’s funny, but it’s the kind of funny that makes you think

It’s funny, but it’s the kind of funny that makes you think


Like Lolcats, but with extinct species.

Like a knock-knock joke where the punchline is, “Pizza chronic inebriate.”

Like a rubber-chicken condom.

Like a wife who can never get a word in edgewise with her husband because her city keeps being hit with nuclear missiles.

Like an animated GIF of Sophie, choosing.

Like a long-division problem where the answer is 69.

Like a very special episode of The Cosby Show where Bill introduces a child who’s the product of a 1978 infidelity.

Like a clown with shingles.

Like a drive time radio show co-hosted by Howard Stern and Stephen Hawking.

Like Beetle Bailey in his later years as a homeless veteran.

Like a joke where Lena discovers Ole and Sven in bed together, and then goes out and sits in the car, leaning her head on the steering wheel and quietly crying because she doesn’t know where to go or what to do.
