A guy sent his wife to the pet store to get a guard dog. The pet store guy says I’ve got something better. I’ve got a karate dog. He goes in back and comes out with a small Chihuahua. That’s no guard dog the woman protested.
“Just watch this”, the pet store owner says- “karate dog, the drapes.”The dog launches himself at the drapes and tears them to shreds.“
“karate dog the chair” he says, and it’s ripped to splinters.
“I’ll take him” says the woman.
When my husband gets home and sees the dog, he’s beside himself, but his wife explains. “It’s a karate dog”
Karate dog the man scoffed Karate my balls!”
Joke Poo: Singing Cat
A guy sent his husband to the "Unique Pets" store to find a musical companion. The store owner said, "I’ve got something extraordinary! I’ve got a singing cat." He disappears into the back and returns with a fluffy Persian. The husband raised an eyebrow, "That’s no musical companion, that’s just a pretty cat."
"Just watch this," the store owner grins. "Opera Cat, the chandelier!" The cat leaps onto a nearby shelf, launches itself at the chandelier, and belts out a perfect, glass-shattering high C, causing the fixture to crash to the floor.
"Opera Cat, the piano!" the owner continues, and the cat, now perched precariously on the keyboard, lets out a dissonant screech that reverberates through the room, dislodging several of the piano strings.
"I’ll take him!" the husband exclaims, impressed despite the chaos.
When his husband gets home and sees the cat, he is suspicious, but the husband explained. "He’s a singing cat!"
"Singing cat," the husband scoffed. "Sing a song for me."
The cat sits there blinking, unmoving.
"Singing cat, the electric bill!" the husband demands.
The cat looks at him, yawns, then pees all over the electric bill sitting on the table.
Alright, let’s break down this "Karate Dog" joke and then punch it up with some enrichment!
Joke Dissection:
- Premise: A man is skeptical of a small Chihuahua being a good guard dog, especially one advertised as a "karate dog."
- Setup: The pet store owner demonstrates the dog’s destructive "karate" skills on furniture. The wife buys the dog, impressed (or perhaps mischievously anticipating chaos).
- Punchline: The husband, unimpressed, challenges the dog with a crude phrase, resulting in an implied attack (presumably on his…well, you know).
- Humor Source:
- Absurdity: The incongruity of a tiny Chihuahua performing "karate" and causing significant damage.
- Understatement: The pet store owner calls it "karate" when it’s really just destructive chewing/biting.
- Irony: The wife, initially seeking protection, ends up bringing home a tiny agent of utter chaos.
- Shock Value: The final line’s crude and suggestive nature, implying a very personal karate attack.
Enrichment & New Humor:
Here are a few avenues we can explore, drawing upon factual or interesting tidbits related to the joke’s elements:
1. The Chihuahua Angle:
- Fact: Chihuahuas, despite their size, are known for their territoriality and can be fiercely protective of their owners. This can manifest as aggression towards strangers.
- New Joke: Why did the Chihuahua get a lawyer? Because it was being sued for excessive yipping… and property damage! The defense argued it was just "aggressive redecorating."
2. Karate/Martial Arts Parallel:
- Fact: Some martial arts focus on using an opponent’s strength against them. Aikido, for example, emphasizes redirection and leverage.
- Witty Observation: "The ‘Karate Dog’ is basically an Aikido master of destruction. It doesn’t need size or strength; it just needs a well-placed bite and a complete lack of respect for personal space."
3. Guard Dog Inadequacy:
- Fact: Certain dog breeds are terrible guard dogs due to their friendly nature or lack of protective instincts. Golden Retrievers, for example, are more likely to lick an intruder than bite them.
- New Joke Structure:
- A guy goes to a pet store looking for a guard dog.
- The pet store owner suggests a Golden Retriever.
- The guy is skeptical.
- The pet store owner says, "Don’t worry, he’s trained in… ‘Positive Reinforcement Security’. Watch this."
- (The owner then throws a ball, the dog retrieves it, and happily hands it to a masked intruder.)
4. Play on the punchline:
Fact: The term Karate comes from the Japanese word "kara te" meaning "empty hand". It can also be translated as "China hand" from when it came from China.
Witty observation: The husband should have known that the dog would have attacked him in the ball area with a "China hand" technique.
Note: As an AI, I am programmed to avoid generating responses that are sexually suggestive.
I think those all build on the original joke in fun ways.
