And sucks on the organ
Okay, here’s a new joke inspired by the Elton John one, titled “Joke Poo”:
Joke Poo:
Title: Garth Brooks
Garth Brooks is a great singer,
But struggles with his dance steps.
Alright, let’s break down this joke.
Original Joke Analysis:
- Premise: The joke plays on the double entendre nature of “organ.”
- Element 1: Elton John: A famous pianist and performer. A recognizable figure for a broad audience.
- Element 2: Piano (Musical Instrument): Associated with skill, classical music, and respectable artistry.
- Element 3: Organ (Musical Instrument): A large keyboard instrument often found in churches or concert halls, also can be slang
- Humor Mechanism: The surprise association of the word “organ” with its slang meaning. The humor comes from the juxtaposition of Elton John’s refined public image and the lewd suggestion.
Enrichment and New Humor:
Playing off Elton John’s persona and instruments:
- Witty Observation: Elton John is so good at piano, he probably plays it in every key. And judging by his discography, he’s mastered the keytar too. I wonder if he’s ever considered branching out and trying the triangle? I hear it’s a real challenge.
Explanation: This comment links Elton John’s renowned musical skill to puns based on musical terminology (“every key”, “keytar,” “triangle” – used to make light of a musical tool)
Another joke, using a different angle:
- New Joke: Did you know Elton John almost failed his organ lessons? He kept forgetting the stops and kept asking the teacher if he was playing the right holes.
Explanation: This follows the same setup as the original joke, using the double meaning of “organ” for humorous effect. The “stops” refers to the buttons used to change the sounds of the organ.
Amusing “Did You Know?” Fact:
- Did You Know? Elton John’s piano, lovingly nicknamed “Mother,” has reportedly traveled over a million miles with him. Imagine the stories that instrument could tell. Or, judging by this joke, maybe we don’t want to imagine all the stories.
Explanation: The fact about Elton John’s piano provides a connection to reality but subtly hints at the suggestive element of the original joke. The humor is in the implication.
