While putting on his latex gloves, he asked, "Do you know how they make these?"
She said, "No."
He replied, "There's a factory in Mexico where people of all hand sizes dip their hands in latex… then let them dry."
She didn't even smile… then suddenly burst out laughing.
The doctor asked, "What's so funny?"
She said, "I'm just imagining how they make condoms!"
Joke Poo: The Sausage Maker
A novice hot dog maker noticed his supervisor was a little tense before the workday began.
While putting on his latex gloves, he asked, “Do you know how they make these?”
The supervisor said, “No.”
The novice replied, “There’s a farm in Wisconsin where pigs of all snout sizes stick their noses into gelatin… then let it dry.”
The supervisor didn’t even crack a grin… then suddenly burst out laughing.
The novice asked, “What’s so funny?”
The supervisor said, “I’m just imagining how they make breakfast sausage!”
Alright, let’s dissect this gynecological giggle-fest.
Key Elements:
- Setting: Gynecologist’s office, creating inherent awkwardness and vulnerability.
- Premise: Easing tension through a seemingly innocent question about latex glove manufacturing.
- Misdirection: The doctor’s deliberately absurd explanation. This is the core comedic engine.
- Revelation: The patient’s delayed realization and extrapolation to condoms, increasing the absurdity and sexual tension.
- Humor Type: Primarily observational humor with a dash of dark (suggesting unhygienic manufacturing), and a strong dose of situational comedy rooted in awkwardness.
Comedic Enrichment:
Let’s leverage some real facts about condom manufacturing to create a new joke/observation:
New Joke:
A gynecologist, prepping for an exam, was unusually silent. His patient, concerned, asked, “Doctor, is everything alright?”
He sighed, “It’s just… I was reading about the new condom testing procedures. Apparently, one of the QA checks involves filling each condom with water and then using a high-voltage probe to check for leaks. They call it the ‘Electrocution Endurance Test’.”
The patient raised an eyebrow. “Wow, that’s intense! So, what happens if one fails?”
The doctor replied, “Let’s just say it provides a… shocking revelation.”
Why this works:
- Builds on the setting: Retains the gynecologist’s office context.
- Leverages Real Facts (sort of): Condoms ARE indeed tested for leaks by filling them with water.
- Misdirection: It seems like it’s headed for a serious discussion about quality control.
- Unexpected twist: The “Electrocution Endurance Test” is a fictional, highly exaggerated, and hilarious application of real-world testing principles.
- Pun-tastic payoff: “Shocking revelation” provides that classic dad-joke release of tension.
Fun Fact to Enhance the Original (or new) Joke:
Did you know that the FDA allows a certain percentage of condoms to fail during quality control testing? It’s a small percentage, of course, but statistically, somewhere out there is a box of condoms where one or two have already failed at their job before they even leave the factory! Talk about job security for lawyers!
