Both denied any wrongdoing.
Okay, here’s my attempt at a “Joke Poo” inspired by the green dildos on the WNBA court joke:
Title: Unidentified Flying Omelets
After dozens of cheese and mushroom omelets were inexplicably discovered scattered across the Martian rover Perseverance, mission control was baffled.
Both the rover and the onboard sample drill steadfastly maintained they were strictly performing scientific duties.
Alright, let’s break down this joke and then whip up some comedic enhancement.
Joke Dissection:
- Core Idea: The humor comes from the absurdity of green dildos being thrown onto a WNBA court, followed by the implication that all the fans are suspects in a very specific and unusual crime.
- Key Elements:
- The Object: Green dildos. The unexpected and sexually suggestive nature of the object creates initial shock value and humor.
- The Setting: A WNBA (Women’s National Basketball Association) game. This is important because it sets up a contrast between the professional sporting event and the immature act.
- The Investigation: The thorough questioning of all fans amplifies the absurdity and implies an intense seriousness about finding the culprit.
- The Punchline: “Both denied any wrongdoing” — This is a classic misdirection. It makes the listener expect to hear from a particular culprit, however it points out that each gender at the game denied doing it.
Comedic Enrichment:
Let’s use some interesting facts about basketball and related topics to enhance the humor.
New Joke Idea (Building on Absurdity):
“After the green dildos incident at the WNBA game, security implemented a new policy. Now, all patrons must pass through a metal detector… and a different kind of detector… let’s just say it’s calibrated for anything remotely… lime-shaped.”
Witty Observation (Heightening the Social Commentary):
“You know, it’s ironic. WNBA players are some of the most dedicated and skilled athletes in the world, yet someone decided to interrupt their game with… that. It’s like interrupting a symphony with a kazoo… a green, oddly shaped kazoo.”
Amusing ‘Did You Know’ (Fact + Absurdity):
“Did you know that the official basketball used in the WNBA is slightly smaller than the men’s ball? That’s right, even the equipment is more mature than whoever threw those green dildos. They should be forced to dribble the smaller basketball… while wearing a cone of shame.”
Why these Enhancements Work:
- They leverage the initial absurdity: We don’t shy away from the initial ridiculousness but build upon it.
- They play with expectations: The metal detector joke sets up an expected security measure then subverts it.
- They use contrast: The skill of the players vs. the immaturity of the act.
- They bring in tangential knowledge: The basketball size fact is relevant and adds another layer of comparison.
The goal is to take the core elements of the joke and amplify them using surprising facts, sharp observations, and a healthy dose of silliness. Hopefully, I passed the inspection and the audience didn’t deny my wrong doing!
