Yeah, but the chicken joke is widely known as the most stupid, non-funny joke ever. From that base, the idea of changing the meaning of it has now become the joke. "You thought it meant that, but it actually means this!". That's why it is funny. Not that the chicken dies, or anything else like that.

With its new found meaning, I'd liken it more to The two nuns, and the Architect.

 

I have made my point sufficiently. I will not continue to repeat myself.

 

The pun argument still comes back to your original argument of intent, it defines a pun. Your argument is still pretty weak, and merely one of your insistence on it being only how you see it and no open-ness to a valid alternative. I'd hoped I might sway you from your inflexibility, as you remind me of myself when I was younger.

Make sure you read the picture, Diageo. There's going to be multiple opinions on the matter, and if I looked I could easily find one that suggests it the other way. In fact, I could credibly edit the wikipedia article to present it as an alternative intepretation to the joke and I can imagine it would stand. Anti-humor was better represented in Cube's chocolate chip muffin. This does have a plausible interpretation, if it didn't, minds would not be being blown. If you can't see it, that is your issue, but I'm personally already stunning my friends with it, and shall continue to do so. I'll let them know that despite their perceptions, they're actually wrong, on authority of yourself. I find the science/reasoning behind humour very interesting, and as said I find this to be an excellent joke with its new interpretation, which stands as valid despite your claims. I wish I could try some of the others that I know, but they're not as good written down, and the fact people don't get them for ages is part of the fun. They think it's just anti-humor, and many will still tell you both of them are. I'd start a seperate thread on humour and jokes for this, but we've had it before, and I actually think the discussion qualifies for a thread about funny stuff.

Q: Why did the chicken cross the road?

 

 

A: TO GET AWAY FROM BOTH OF YOUR BULLSHIT!!!

It's not quite clever. There is no other side to it. You are making it up. People are making it up.

 

While I agree that the original joke was unlikely to be anything more than the literal getting to the other side punchline, you can't deny that there is another side to the joke for those that want to see it.

 

People make up jokes. It's not a universal law of physics or something. People made up a joke about a chicken crossing the road, other people are now saying the other side means the afterlife. Both punchlines are made up.

You're such a killjoy, Diageo. :p

It brings me joy.

I honestly don't care any more. Please stop referring to me.

That's strange - how come you keep coming back the the thread and responding to stuff?

 

The thread is at the top of the "New Posts" section that I mainly use. And my responses don't involve me explaining the joke after I said I would stop repeating myself.
