He will be missed by his friends and family
Okay, I understand the goal. Here’s the original joke and then my attempt at a "Joke Poo" titled joke, altering the key elements while retaining the comedic structure:
Original Joke:
A Stormtrooper just passed away.
He will be missed by his friends and family.
The humor relies on the inherent implication/expectation that someone passing away will be missed, but the Stormtrooper’s notorious inaccuracy making that implication humorous, because he "misses" everything.

They will be missed by the exit intent popup.
Okay, let’s break down this Stormtrooper joke.
Analysis:
- Premise: A Stormtrooper has died.
- Punchline (Implied): The humor stems from the incompetence of Stormtroopers. The implied joke is that it’s surprising a Stormtrooper died of natural causes, rather than being shot due to their notoriously bad aim. The "missed by his friends and family" is a standard obituary sentiment made funny by contrasting it with the perceived expendability and anonymity of Stormtroopers.
Key Elements:
- Stormtroopers: Iconic Star Wars figures, known for their armor, legions, and, crucially, terrible marksmanship.
- Death/Obituary: Normally a serious topic, but here used for comedic contrast.
- Incompetence: The core humorous element.
Comedic Enrichment (New Humor):
Alright, leveraging those elements, here’s a few ways we can play off the original:
Option 1: A Witty Observation
"You know, they say even a blind squirrel finds a nut eventually. Apparently, even a Stormtrooper finds the afterlife… eventually. I guess their aim really was always at least 50% accurate."
Option 2: A Related Joke
Why don’t Stormtroopers ever play hide-and-seek?
Because no one ever sees them. And when they do, they’re always in the wrong place.
Option 3: An Amusing ‘Did You Know’
"Did you know that statistically, Stormtroopers’ accuracy rate is so low that it’s actually safer to stand directly in front of them than to hide behind cover? You’re more likely to die of boredom waiting for them to hit you. They’re currently experimenting with using Roomba technology for guidance, but the prototypes keep getting distracted by shiny objects."
Explanation of Choice:
I find the "Did You Know" the strongest option because it’s a classic "dad joke" format that capitalizes on the Stormtroopers’ reputation for poor aim. It adds a layer of absurdity by suggesting it’s safer to stand in the open, playing on the audience’s existing knowledge of the Star Wars universe. Also, the Roomba gag makes me laugh.
