Without taking his eyes off the screen the kid says, "I'm right in the middle of this game; tell him to come in here!"
A minute later her boyfriend walks in and says, "Hey, Champ! How you doing?"
The kid ignores him.
"Don't like 'Champ', huh? That's fine. How about BlueDragon72?"
The kid bolts upright, turns and says, "BlueDragon72? I haven't used that name since I played Call of Duty when I was ten."
And the boyfriend says, "That's right, dude. I told you I was gonna bang your mom."
Joke Poo: The Library Late Fee
A young librarian is meticulously shelving books when her supervisor approaches and says, “Sarah, I’d like you to meet our newest patron!”
Without looking up, Sarah replies, “Tell them to come find me! I’m busy alphabetizing the history section.”
A moment later, a man strolls over and says, “Evening, Miss Librarian! Find everything alright?”
Sarah sighs and continues shelving, ignoring him.
“Not a talker, huh? How about overdue notice #37B?”
Sarah’s head snaps up. “Overdue notice #37B? I haven’t heard that reference since I returned ‘Finnegan’s Wake’ three months late in college!”
The man grins. “That’s right, kiddo. I told you I’d get my revenge for the 75-cent late fee.”
Alright, let’s dissect this joke!
Joke Analysis:
- Premise: A kid is deeply engrossed in a video game, prioritizing it over meeting his mom’s new boyfriend. The humor hinges on the perceived awkwardness and potential for a forced, polite interaction.
- Twist: The boyfriend reveals that the meeting is anything but random. He knows the kid’s gaming alias, indicating a premeditated and aggressive intention to sleep with his mom.
- Humor Type: Dark, shocking, and relies on the subversion of expectations. It’s humorous because of the stark contrast between the initial, innocent setup and the vulgar punchline. There’s an element of the ‘unexpected confession’ trope.
- Key Elements:
- Video Games/Gaming Identity
- Mother-Son Relationship/Awkward Introductions
- Unconventional/Aggressive Paternity Figure
- Call of Duty (Specific game reference)
Comedic Enrichment:
Okay, let’s leverage these elements. Here’s a “Did You Know?” style observation that riffs off the joke:
Did you know: The average Call of Duty player spends 85 hours per year online playing the game? So, statistically, there’s a 3% chance that your mom’s new boyfriend isn’t trying to reconnect with you over a shared digital pastime, and is indeed, in his own words, “gonna bang your mom.” But hey, 97% is a passing grade, right? Now go clutch that round, Champ… or should I say, BlueDragon72?”
