Doctor’s advice for premature ejaculation didn’t go as planned

Joke Poo: Programmer’s Debugging Advice Didn’t Go As Planned

A programmer goes to his senior colleague and says:

"Dude, I’ve got a problem. My code keeps crashing! I can’t debug it at all."

The senior colleague nods and says, "Okay… take this rubber duck."

"A duck?!"

"It’s just a simple rubber duck. Every time you feel like your code is about to crash, tell the duck exactly what your code is doing, line by line. The act of explaining it out loud will often reveal the bug."

"Worth a try," the programmer says and leaves.

The next day he comes back, looking exhausted and completely bewildered. The senior colleague asks, "So, how did it go?"

"Terrible!" he replies. "Last night, I was knee-deep in a critical function. Just when the program was about to crash, I started explaining it to the duck."

"And?"

"Well… First, the duck didn’t say anything.
Second, I felt really silly talking to a rubber duck.
And third… my boss walked in and now thinks I’ve finally lost it, and he’s now requiring me to undergo a mental evaluation!"

Okay, let’s analyze this joke.

Key Elements:

• Premature Ejaculation: The core problem and setup. It’s a sensitive, often embarrassing topic.
• Absurd Medical Advice: The doctor’s solution is wildly inappropriate and comical, contrasting sharply with conventional medical treatments.
• Starter Pistol: The ludicrous element, a symbol of a starting race, here repurposed for sexual delay with shocking (literally) consequences.
• The 69 Position: A specific sexual position chosen for maximum awkwardness when combined with the starter pistol.
• The Consequences: Escalating chaos and misunderstandings. Each reaction gets funnier and more unexpected.
• The Implied Infidelity: The punchline about the guy in the closet adds a layer of surprise and cuckoldry to the already awkward situation.

Humor Breakdown:

The humor arises from the juxtaposition of a real problem with an utterly ridiculous solution. The escalation of the consequences amplifies the absurdity, culminating in a surprising and chaotic final image. The joke also relies on the reader’s understanding of sexual positions and social norms to fully appreciate the awkwardness.

Comedic Enrichment:

Let’s leverage these elements to create some related humor:

1. Witty Observation:

"You know you’re getting old when your premature ejaculation advice comes from a Sears catalog instead of a doctor."

Reasoning:
This quip plays off the absurd medical advice theme of the original, implying the individual is so old that they’re taking medical advice from outdated sources. This adds a humorous element of aging and technological obsolescence.

2. New Joke (Building on the premise):

A man goes to the doctor, complaining of premature ejaculation.

"Doctor," he says, "I’ve tried everything. Special creams, exercises, even thinking about baseball scores. Nothing works!"

The doctor sighs. "Alright, I have one last, very experimental treatment. You’ll need to wear a full suit of medieval armor during intercourse."

The man is bewildered. "Armor? How will that help?"

The doctor replies, "Well, it won’t help with the premature part, but it will delay the aftercare."

Reasoning:

This new joke maintains the central problem of premature ejaculation and utilizes similarly absurd "treatment". It twists the expected outcome, focusing not on the ejaculation itself but on the after effects, adding a layer of dark humor.

3. Amusing "Did You Know?" (Playing on the starter pistol):

"Did you know that the sound of a starter pistol can travel over a mile on a calm day? This explains why performance in local amateur dramatics clubs has taken a nosedive ever since that new ED clinic opened down the street. They seem to be getting standing ovations… just not for the play."

Reasoning:

This combines the starter pistol element with real-world knowledge (sound travel) and applies it to a comedic situation. It hints at the repercussions of using a starter pistol in the original joke, but in a more socially and legally plausible context. It creates a visual gag involving startled actors and a confused audience, building on the shock and chaos elements. It could also be reworded as ‘explains why the local amateur dramatics club has been receiving more standing ovations than ever before, just not necessarily for the play’.

4. The 69 Variation:

Why did the premature ejaculator cross the road?
To get to the other 30! (Because they can’t handle the full 69.)

This utilizes the infamous 69, and brings the ‘premature’ element back.
