You don’t understand. This was actually the first joke, so while it may not be funny to us, it was hilarious to the people who first heard it, and all other humor ultimately derived from this one joke

[–] PrimeErective@startrek.website 5 points 1 month ago

Maybe it got hit by a car and the "other side" is the afterlife

"He stands on a leaf and waits until Autumn." (Punchline to a joke I read in grade 3 from the 70's.)

[–] Nibodhika@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Is an elephant involved? I think I know this one but had completely forgotten about it until I read this.

[–] Rocketpoweredgorilla@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Yup. The joke spoiler..How does an elephant get down from a tree?

It's such an incredibly lame joke that it's still burned into my brain nearly 5 decades later.

[–] RodgeGrabTheCat@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 month ago

And thats why cornflakes are better than cheerios.

  • overheard in the playground around 30 years ago and remains unexplained to this day. The kid would not repeat the joke for me. It remains the object of largest difference between importance and intrigue in my head.

I feel like I need to qualify that I understand this is where I write the punchline to a joke, and that I am not accientally typing this into a search engine.
