What do you call a hentai artist that’s bad at his job?

Posted on by Joke Poo

Dick Tracey

Okay, here’s my attempt at a "Joke Poo" version of your joke, titled "Joke Poo":

Joke Poo:

What do you call a toilet designer who keeps messing up the plumbing?

…John Crapper.

Alright, let’s analyze this… ahem… gem of comedic artistry.

Deconstruction of the Joke:

  • Setup: "What do you call a hentai artist that’s bad at his job?"
  • Punchline: "Dick Tracey"
  • Humor Mechanism: This is a pun relying on:
    • The double entendre of "Dick," a common slang term for male genitalia, and "Tracey" being a slightly mangled spelling of "Tracy" (as in, the detective Dick Tracy).
    • The implied ineptitude of the artist, suggesting their drawings are poorly rendered or unfaithful to the subject matter ("bad at his job").

Key Elements for Enrichment:

  1. Dick Tracy: The classic comic strip detective.
  2. Hentai: Japanese pornographic manga or anime.
  3. Artistic Skill: The contrast between the expectation of skill in art and the implied lack thereof.

Enrichment Options & New Humor:

Here are a few ways we can play with these elements:

Option 1: The Historical Angle (Dick Tracy Trivia)

  • Did you know: Dick Tracy’s iconic two-way wrist radio, introduced in the 1940s, is often cited as an inspiration for modern smartwatches. It took decades for reality to catch up with Chester Gould’s (Dick Tracy’s creator) imagination. Perhaps that is why Dick Tracy is a bad hentai artist. He’s too distracted by innovating and only has one hand free to draw with.

Option 2: The Hentai Deconstruction

  • Observation: Hentai artwork, despite its often outrageous content, is often remarkably anatomically detailed. You could almost say that expecting anatomical accuracy in hentai is like expecting due process in a Dick Tracy comic.

Option 3: The Combined Puns & New Joke:

  • New Joke: What do you call a Dick Tracy comic that’s poorly drawn and features characters that look nothing like the original?
    • Answer: A Detective Dyslexic

Option 4: Play on the ‘bad at his job’ aspect:

  • New Joke: What do you call a hentai artist who can only draw stick figures?
    • Answer: Abstract Expressionism.

Why These Are Funnier (Hopefully):

  • They expand on the original pun.
  • They leverage actual knowledge, adding a layer of unexpected sophistication.
  • They present new scenarios built on the same comedic foundation.
  • Option 3 is a classic punchline twist using an appropriate alternative theme.
