So the bar tender pours the drinks and the dude starts slamming them, so the bartender says, "are you ok there, fella?"
The guy says, "first blowjob".
The bartender smiles and nods, then says, "nice… a celebration?"
And the guy says, "nope… I'm trying to get the taste out of my mouth."
Okay, here’s my attempt at a “Joke Poo” version:
Joke Poo: The Taste Test
A food critic walks into a fancy restaurant and orders five different tasting menus…
The waiter, impressed, serves each course with meticulous care, watching as the critic devours them one after the other. Finally, the waiter asks, “Sir, are you enjoying your meal?”
The critic grimaces and replies, “First Michelin star.”
The waiter, beaming, says, “Wonderful! So, a special occasion?”
The critic retorts, “No…I’m trying to get the taste out of my mouth.”
Okay, let’s break down this joke and then spin some comedic gold from it.
Joke Dissection:
- Setup: Man orders and rapidly consumes 5 tequila shots in a pub.
- Twist/Punchline: Reason for the tequila shots is not celebration, but to remove an unpleasant taste resulting from a first-time blowjob.
- Humor Source: The joke derives its humor from a few places:
- Incongruity: Tequila is typically associated with celebration or drowning sorrows, not oral hygiene.
- Discomfort: The frank discussion of a sexual act, and a negative experience associated with it, creates a level of unease that becomes funny.
- Stereotype Subversion: The bartender’s initial assumption is typical (celebration), but the man’s response is not.
Key Elements to Exploit:
- Tequila: The drink itself.
- The Bartender: The conversationalist and assumed confidante.
- The Blowjob: The reason for the alcohol consumption.
Comedic Enrichment Attempts:
1. The “Did You Know?” Enhanced Observation:
Did you know that the myth of tequila worms originated not from hallucinogenic properties (they don’t have any), but possibly from a desire to mask the flavor of low-quality mezcal? Which makes you wonder, if that was the cover story for a subpar drink, what’s the cover story for this guy’s first-time experience? (Gestures vaguely towards the man ordering the tequila).
- Humor: Uses the factual history/myth of tequila to subtly allude to a lack of experience to make the action seem less enjoyable.
2. The Alternative Punchline (Playing on Tequila Quality):
Bartender: “Are you okay there, fella?”
Guy: “First blowjob.”
Bartender: (Nods sympathetically) “I see. Well, at least you didn’t waste good tequila on that.”
- Humor: Implies the blowjob was so bad it wasn’t worthy of top-shelf alcohol.
3. The Bartender’s New Joke/Observation (Building on the Scene):
(Later that night, the bartender is telling a colleague about the incident) “So, this guy comes in, orders five shots of tequila, chugs them down, and I’m thinking, ‘Okay, another broken heart.’ Turns out, it was his first heart, and he was trying to surgically remove it with agave.”
- Humor: This takes the unusual reason and amplifies it into an absurd image.
4. The “Tequila-Based Wisdom”:
A man walked into a bar and said he had been experimenting with his new wife and was trying to get the taste out of his mouth with 5 shots of tequila. The bartender wisely said, “Remember, son, with tequila, like with some new marital adventures, sometimes you take a shot and sometimes the shot takes you.”
- Humor: Play on words and euphemistic.
These examples aim to either:
- Expand on the original scenario with new details.
- Use facts about tequila to create ironic parallels.
- Continue the scene from the bartender’s perspective.
The key is to maintain the element of surprise and the unexpected association between the alcohol and the situation to capitalize on what made the original joke funny.
