His friend asks what’s in the bag.
“Gorilla testicles.”
“Why the hell do you have gorilla testicles!?”
“The vet said they have powers, watch this.”
The two travel to a convenience store and purchase a lottery ticket. As he’s filling out the numbers he rubs the testicles together and wins $10 millions dollars.
He looks at his friend and says, “behold my magic ape balls!”
Joke Poo:
A woman stumbles out of the wizard’s supply shop, clutching a lumpy, brown sack.
Her neighbor asks, “What’s in the bag?”
“Dragon dung,” she replies grimly.
“Dragon dung?! Why on earth do you have dragon dung!?”
“The wizard said it’s got potent magical properties. Watch this.”
They walk to the local garden center and approach a withered, dying rose bush. She carefully sprinkles the dragon dung around the base of the plant. Instantly, it explodes with vibrant blooms and emits a heavenly fragrance.
She turns to her neighbor, beaming, “Behold my fertilizer poo!”
Okay, let’s dissect this joke.
Key Elements:
- Setup: A man leaves a vet clinic with gorilla testicles. This immediately introduces absurdity and raises questions.
- Premise: The testicles supposedly possess magical powers. This is the core comedic engine, relying on the ridiculousness of the claim.
- Action: Rubbing the testicles leads to winning the lottery. This is the payoff, linking the absurd premise to a desirable outcome.
- Punchline: “Behold my magic ape balls!” – The exclamation seals the joke with a vulgar, yet humorous, reveal, confirming the success of his experiment and the absurdity of it all. It plays on the unexpected outcome being attributed to the testicles.
- Humor Type: Absurdist humor, based on an unlikely and irrational situation. There’s also an element of dark humor and vulgarity in the punchline.
Potential for Enrichment:
We can leverage the elements of apes, testicles, luck, and lottery winning to create new humor. Here are a few approaches:
1. Witty Observation/Amusing ‘Did You Know’:
“Did you know that male gorillas have proportionally smaller testicles than chimpanzees? So, this guy in the joke is probably REALLY grateful for those magical ape balls, considering a chimpanzee’s ‘magic ape balls’ might have been a bit… much to carry around.”
2. New Joke (Playing on the Misinterpretation):
A man walks into a magic shop and asks for a fertility charm. The shop owner proudly presents him with a set of dried gorilla testicles.
The man squints. “Gorilla testicles? Are you sure about this?”
The shop owner winks. “Trust me, you’ll have them climbing all over you!”
3. Joke Extension (Adding another layer):
After winning the lottery, the man’s friend asks, “So, are you going to keep rubbing those ape balls for good luck?”
The man replies, “Hell no! I’m cashing this ticket and donating these things back to science. I don’t want to accidentally turn into a Silverback!”
4. Absurdist, Post-Joke Scenario:
The news reports on the lottery winner, cautiously mentioning the “unconventional” method he used to select his numbers. The Wild Animal Vet Clinic is suddenly swamped with requests for “power enhancing” procedures, mostly from guys desperately hoping to improve their golf swing.
The core strength of the original joke lies in its unexpected connection between the gross/absurd and the desirable (winning money). To expand, we should try to build on that element of surprise or create new, equally ridiculous situations stemming from the original premise.
