A couple gets married

Joke Poo: The Tech Support Call

A senior citizen gets a brand new computer. They don’t know the first thing about the internet.

They decide to call up their tech-savvy grandson since they have no other ideas.

The grandson patiently explains, “Just type ‘www’ then the hardest part of your body, then ‘.com’.”

Five minutes later, he gets a frantic call back:

“Okay, honey, we got ‘www.bone.com’ on the screen… Now it’s asking for a credit card! What do we do?!”

Alright, let’s break down this joke and then inject some comedic vitamins into it.

Joke Dissection:

• Setup: Naive, newlywed couple clueless about sex. Girl seeks advice from her mother.
• Punchline: The mother’s vague instruction is misinterpreted literally, resulting in absurd image of the husband’s head stuck in the toilet.
• Humor Source: Misunderstanding, physical comedy, unexpected interpretation, generational gap (mother offering poor advice), and the shock value of the ridiculous scenario.

Key Elements:

1. Naivete about Sex: The couple’s ignorance is central.
2. Vague Advice: The mother’s instruction is intentionally ambiguous.
3. Literal Interpretation: The wife takes the advice far too literally.
4. Toilet Humor: The end result involves the toilet, adding a low-brow element.

Comedic Enrichment & New Material:

Let’s focus on the “vague advice” and “literal interpretation” elements. Here’s a new observation playing off the original joke:

Witty Observation:

“Parenting manuals are really just adult Mad Libs. You fill in the blanks with platitudes like, ‘Use positive reinforcement’ and hope your kid doesn’t interpret it as an invitation to only respond to gold bullion.”

Explanation:

• This builds upon the joke’s core concept of vague parental advice being misinterpreted.
• It broadens the scope beyond sex to general parenting, making it more relatable.
• It uses the Mad Libs analogy to highlight the generic nature of much parental advice and the potential for hilariously wrong outcomes.
• The gold bullion punchline adds an element of absurdity and plays on the concept of literal interpretation.

New Joke (Using a “Did You Know” format):

Did you know: The first documented use of the phrase “the birds and the bees” to euphemistically describe sex education dates back to the 1920s. Which explains why my first time ended with me trying to pollinate my partner with a feather duster.

Explanation:

• This takes inspiration from a similar “vague advice” scenario, but instead of taking the advice too literally, takes it in the completely wrong direction.
• The combination of historical knowledge and silly, absurd punchline is both informative and funny.
• Plays on the outdated and confusing language often used to discuss sex in previous generations.

These expansions aim to amplify the humor by exploring the themes of miscommunication, literal thinking, and the absurdities that arise when people don’t quite understand each other.
