…two men are walking their dogs, a German Shepherd & a Chihuahua. They approach a bar & the Shepherd owner offers to buy a round but then sees a No Dogs Allowed sign on the door. They're about to walk away when the Sheprerd says he has an idea.
I'll tell the bartender we're blind and these are our seeing eye dogs. The other guy is dubious but Shepherd owner says, I'll go in & see if it works.
Shepherd owner goes in & orders a beer but bartender says sorry, no dogs allowed. Guy says but I'm blind & this is my seeing eye dog. Bartender apologies & serves him a beer.
Chihuahua owner sees all this through window and enters and orders a beer. Bartender says sorry no dogs allowed. Guy says I'm blind & this is my seeing eye dog. Bartender asks they use Chihuahuas as seeing eye dogs? Guy answers THEY GAVE ME A FUCKIN CHIHUAHUA?
Joke Poo: The Tech Support Nightmare
One dreary Monday morning… two employees are on a Zoom call with IT support. One has a top-of-the-line, custom-built gaming PC, and the other has a dusty old laptop from 2010. They’re both trying to get their microphones working for an important presentation. The gaming PC owner offers to start, hoping to show off his setup, but then remembers the IT helpdesk’s usual incompetence. The laptop user is skeptical but the PC owner insists, “I have a plan. I’ll say my audio drivers are completely borked.”
The gaming PC owner goes first and says, “Hi, I need help with my microphone. I think my audio drivers are completely messed up.” The IT guy sighs and says, “Okay, run the troubleshooter. If that doesn’t work, uninstall and reinstall the drivers. Then restart your computer.” The PC owner follows the instructions and, miraculously, his microphone works.
The laptop owner, watching through the Zoom window, is amazed and takes his turn. He starts, “Hi, I need help with my microphone. My audio drivers are completely messed up.” The IT guy, visibly frustrated, asks, “They gave you drivers?”
Alright, let’s break down this joke and then inject some comedic fuel.
Joke Dissection:
- Setup: Two guys with contrasting dogs (German Shepherd vs. Chihuahua) face a “No Dogs Allowed” sign at a bar.
- Premise: The Shepherd owner comes up with a ruse to claim the dogs are seeing-eye dogs.
- Execution: The ruse works for the Shepherd owner.
- Punchline: The Chihuahua owner’s indignant, incredulous reaction to the suggestion that a Chihuahua could be a seeing-eye dog. The humor comes from the absurdity of the situation and the unexpected expletive.
Key Elements:
- Dog Breed Stereotypes: German Shepherds are often associated with intelligence, obedience, and service roles. Chihuahuas are often stereotyped as small, yappy, and nervous.
- Blindness/Seeing-Eye Dogs: The joke leverages the well-established concept of seeing-eye dogs providing assistance to the visually impaired.
- Unexpected Twist: The Chihuahua being presented as a seeing-eye dog is the core incongruity that drives the joke.
- Expletive: The expletive amplifies the humor through surprise and strong emotion.
Comedic Enrichment: “Did You Know?” Witty Observation Style
Did you know? The shortest officially recorded guide dog training program lasted only one day. Okay, it was a chihuahua, and the human wasn’t actually blind, and the goal was to get a free beer, but technically, they said it worked! The chihuahua was guiding the human… directly to the bar.
Joke:
A seeing-eye dog trainer is having a terrible day. All his German Shepherds are failing their obstacle courses. Frustrated, he calls his supplier and says, “Look, I need a dog that’s highly intelligent, reliable, and can follow complex instructions.” The supplier replies, “I’ve got just the thing: a Chihuahua with a Napoleon complex!”
