A guy goes into a sex shop looking to buy a sex doll.
The salesman behind the counter goes through the various ranges, from quite cheap to ultra-high tech.
The salesman shows the guy ones that look almost lifelike and can do just about everything – even walk and talk and hold conversations, and then shows him the ones that are nothing more than a cheap inflatable.
Eventually he settles on around the middle of the range, nothing too high tech, but it had to be inflatable so he could hide it more easily when not using it.
He takes it home and realises he has no kind of pump, and didn’t buy the ones that self inflate, so he gets down to blowing this thing up manually.
After much huffing and puffing, he’s so exhausted he goes off to have a rest before trying to make use of it.
When he comes back, the doll has completely deflated and he has to start all over again.
Lots more huffing and puffing and inflates her again, but again has to rest.
When he gets back and she has again deflated, he decides to try one more time and this time to watch to see why she’s deflating. Sure enough the doll subsides quite quickly.
The guys shoves her back into her box, and takes her back to the shop. He puts the box on the counter and says, “This doll has gone down on me three times!!”
The salesman said, “Wow, if I’d known she could do that, I’d have charged you more”
Okay, here’s my "Joke Poo" version, riffing on your sex doll joke:
Joke Poo: Discount Massage Chair
A guy walks into a discount furniture store looking to buy a massage chair. The salesman shows him everything from the top-of-the-line models with zero gravity and heat to the basic vibrating pads you strap to your own chair.
The guy is on a tight budget but wants something more than just a pad, so he settles on a mid-range model. It’s electric, with a few rollers, but nothing fancy. He gets it home and plugs it in, excited to relax.
He sits down, turns it on, and…nothing. He checks the plug, fiddles with the controls, but the rollers just sit there, stubbornly still. Frustrated, he gets up, gives the chair a good kick, and tries again.
Still nothing. He kicks it a few more times, harder each time, and finally, with one last mighty thwack, the chair sputters to life. The rollers begin to grind and whirl.
He sits down, finally experiencing the chair, but its a very poor massage. It’s far too intense. After 3 goes he decides to give up.
He packs it back up, lugs it back to the store, and slams the box on the counter. “This chair kicked the hell out of me three times!” he yells.
The salesman looks at the box, then at the guy, and says, "Wow, if I’d known it could do that, I’d have charged you extra for the self defense mode!”
Alright, let’s analyze this joke and see if we can extract some comedic gold.
Joke Breakdown:
- Core Concept: A man buys a mid-range inflatable sex doll. The humor stems from the juxtaposition of his frustration with the deflating doll and his interpretation of its deflation as a sexual act. The punchline then exploits this ambiguity for comedic effect.
- Key Elements:
- Inflatable Sex Doll: The object of ridicule and the source of the misunderstanding.
- Huffing and Puffing: Physical exertion to inflate, creating a visual and relatable image.
- Deflation: The central problem that leads to the punchline.
- Misinterpretation: The man interprets the deflation as a sexual act.
- Salesman’s Response: The punchline, capitalizing on the ambiguity and implying the doll has a specific talent.
Humor Enrichment:
Now, let’s leverage some facts about inflation, deflation, and maybe even the history of sex dolls to craft some supplementary humor.
Option 1: The "Did You Know?"
"Did you know that the first documented inflatable sex doll patent was filed in 1919 by a Canadian named John prior to this people were having to manually inflate their partners, resulting in tired and sad people"
Option 2: The "Inflationary Analogy"
"Buying a mid-range inflatable sex doll is like the economy in 2008: it goes down so fast you have no time to enjoy it"
Option 3: The Meta-Joke
"I told my AI to write a joke about inflatable sex dolls. It just kept deflating… the joke, I mean. It just kept deflating my joke. Much like the man in this joke, I think it’s time to go back to the drawing board"
Option 4: The "Salesman’s Regret" Twist:
"The salesman was so excited about the doll’s "talent" that he went home that night and spent hours trying to get his inflatable pool toy to do the same. Let’s just say the neighborhood kids were a little weirded out the next day when he offered them extra lemonade."
