She had small tits
Okay, here’s my “Joke Poo” version of the joke:
Joke Poo: What Does a Plumber Remember?
What does it mean if a plumber can precisely recall the specific brand of toilet paper used in a customer’s bathroom after a quick visit?
… The clog was massive.
Alright, let’s analyze this joke.
Dissection:
- Setup: “What does it mean if a guy can remember a girl’s eye color after a first date?” This creates an expectation that the answer will relate to attentiveness, romantic interest, or a strong connection.
- Punchline: “She had small tits.” This punchline is a bait-and-switch. It subverts the romantic expectation by suggesting the man’s focus was driven by a non-romantic and arguably shallow observation. The humor derives from the unexpected contrast between the setup’s implication and the punchline’s crude explanation.
- Key Elements:
- Sexism (playing on stereotypes): The joke relies on a stereotypical (though not universally true) view of men being primarily interested in physical attributes, specifically breasts.
- Unexpected Contrast: The clash between the expected romantic answer and the base, physical reality is the core of the joke’s humor.
- Physical Objectification: The woman is being reduced to a single physical characteristic.
Now, let’s create some comedic enrichment, playing off the “eye color” and “small tits” elements:
Option 1: Amusing “Did You Know?”
Did you know that statistically, guys are much better at remembering eye colors after the date? Before the date, they’re mostly trying to remember if they shaved properly and what witty anecdotes they can steal from Reddit. Turns out, the visual processing centers in the brain only really kick in post-initial impression. Unless, of course, you’re an ophthalmologist. Or, you know… someone with a very specific type. Then the entire date is probably a comprehensive ocular examination.
This builds upon the joke by suggesting that the issue isn’t simply the man’s motivation, but also a quirky aspect of human perception and adding a doctor in the mix.
Option 2: Witty Observation about Small Tits
The beauty of small tits is their remarkable resistance to the effects of gravity. It’s like nature’s way of saying, “Here’s a perpetually perky reminder that everything is okay.” A philosophical statement about the ephemeral nature of larger busts and how nature will always win.
This plays off the “small tits” element, but tries to find a positive (and slightly absurd) angle.
Option 3: A New Joke/Twist
Q: What does it mean if a guy remembers a girl’s exact shade of lipstick after a first date?
A: He’s probably a makeup artist. Or terrified of getting it on his shirt.
This twist the elements and adds new considerations.
Option 4: A more self-aware joke:
Q: What does it mean if a guy remembers a girl’s eye color after a first date, according to most internet jokes?
A: She had small tits.
Q: What does it actually mean?
A: He’s a decent human being who pays attention, or he’s trying REALLY hard to convince himself he’s a decent human being who pays attention. Either way, lower your expectations slightly.
This one acknowledges the original joke’s reliance on potentially sexist stereotypes and tries to provide a more nuanced (and hopefully funnier) alternative.
