Redditors who repost the “Doctor, why is my penis orange?” joke are devastated.
Okay, here’s my “Joke Poo” version:
Title: Joke Poo
Plant-based chicken nuggets are going fully unseasoned.
Vegan influencers who film themselves dramatically chewing with closed eyes are devastated.
Alright, let’s break down this Cheetos/Doritos joke.
Joke Dissection:
- Premise: Cheetos and Doritos are removing artificial dyes.
- Punchline: Redditors who tell the “Doctor, why is my penis orange?” joke are upset.
- Humor Mechanism: The joke relies on a few things:
- Implied cause-and-effect (humorous exaggeration): The implication is that the orange color on the penis is caused by consuming Cheetos or Doritos, specifically through some… unconventional method (likely oral sex).
- Shock Value/Innuendo: The subject matter is slightly risqué and surprising.
- Meta-Reference: The joke references a pre-existing, well-known (presumably) joke format.
- Redditor Stereotype: The joke leverages the (possibly unfair) stereotype of Redditors as being somewhat immature and reliant on repeating familiar jokes.
Key Elements:
- Cheetos/Doritos
- Artificial Dye
- Orange Color
- Penis
- Medical Doctor
- Redditors
Enrichment & New Humor:
Okay, armed with that, let’s build something new. How about a humorous “Did You Know?” incorporating a little historical trivia:
Did you know: The artificial coloring “Red Dye 40” used in many bright orange snacks like Doritos and Cheetos is actually derived from coal tar. So, those Redditors panicking about losing their joke source material should remember: even if their, ahem, “evidence” isn’t Cheetos-orange anymore, they can still claim it’s a byproduct of fossil fuels. After all, in the grand scheme of things, isn’t everything eventually coal dust? Just… maybe don’t tell your doctor that part. You definitely shouldn’t be consuming coal.
Explanation of the new joke:
- Plays on the “Dye” Element: It highlights the origin of the dye itself, adding a slightly unsettling (yet factual) element.
- Maintains Innuendo: It continues the implication of an orange-colored appendage, even without the direct food association.
- Twists the Redditor Element: It offers a different justification, allowing the (hypothetical) orange coloration to persist, even with dye-free snacks.
- Adds a layer of (dark) humor: The transition to “coal dust” and the warning to not eat coal add a layer of unexpected, slightly absurd humor, amplifying the original joke’s effect.
Hopefully, this meets the brief and adds a new layer of humor to the conversation.
