Weekend Update With Norm Macdonald

Snack Attack

noims says...

I believe Douglas Adams used to tell this story as something that actually happened to him.

His favourite part was that someone else out there had exactly the same story, but without the punchline of there being a second pack.

Skokomish River salmon cross the road

BSR says...

The riddle appeared in an 1847 edition of The Knickerbocker, a New York City monthly magazine:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Why_did_the_chicken_cross_the_road%3F

After 173 years of this joke being handed down from generation to generation it has become the standard kickstarter joke to give life to a sense of humor. So much so that the first thought about any animal crossing the road would or should trigger the chicken punchline.

Regardless of wanting points or not you would have gotten them anyway so the VS community would know my words have much iron.

Yes, I think I pointed that out. Nice work. 😜

No, those aren't chickens....not even chickens of the sea, so that's not an obvious question.

I told you I didn't want points, so wouldn't ask the obvious question....it's THE answer.

I implanted the question in a random sifter's brain without their knowledge. Come on.

The Walk.

Yes, jokes are "supposed" to be funny. If you show a video of an 11 degree ramp and say "oh its only 3 degrees" it adds nothing to your suggested punchline of the joke. In fact it detracts from it (i.e. if it is only 3 degrees then Biden running up it is meaningless).

Trump was factually correct. It was a steep ramp. There is just no way out of that. It doesn't mean he didn't look like a baby learning to walk as he walked down it, but it was still steep.

The punchline (if it were a joke, and it's not) would be Joe Biden running down the ramp. Not up. Unfortunately, for some reason, never before has the media foccused on a president walking down a ramp and it been a topic of conversation (because really, it is fucking inane). But if you hunt enough, you can find a video of Obama striding down the back ramp.

A basic requirement for being funny is... being funny. Which this video is not. But each to their own I guess.

It's a joke though, it's not supposed to fair, honest, accurate otherwise, it's just supposed to be funny.

Setup 1: We all presumably are familiar with Trump's "sleepy Joe" nickname and constant criticism of Biden's fitness.
Setup 2: Trump explaining at great, great length why he walked slowly down a ramp because of how treacherous it was.

Punchline: Joe Biden literally running up said ramp.

That's funny. Crying about inaccuracies or fallacies in it is like saying chickens don't roam freely so how can so many be crossing roads?

Part 1: the video portrays mocking. If they're going to mock someone, they should at least get their numbers right, otherwise they're no better than Trump and his continual exaggerations (e.g. it's like them saying "and it was the least steepest ramp in the world, and I've walked all the ramps of the world, more than anyone else").

Part 2: if they're trying to be funny by comparing two things then you have to, you know, compare the two things. So where is the video of Biden coming down the ramp? I want to see Biden cartwheel down the ramp like a champ.

Part 3: "I can 100% expect Trump, if he ever sees the clip, to respond exactly as your comment did", except for the fact that Trump already described this event (walking down the ramp) in this video. So you better check your 100%.

BTW, there is no dilemma - no sarcasm was implied or could be interpreted from my comment, and there is a little sarcasm check box that remained unchecked (just to be sure). On the other hand, I fully expected someone to try to diminish my comment, because facts always get in the way of a good story.

Regrets ~ Baroness von Sketch Show

BSR says...

Well, so far 7 comments here and much like the video there is no comment about the obvious punchline in the video. OK, I see eric snuck one in.

What's a word for 2 different things but are examples of each other? Little help there @newtboy?

People who annoy you

BSR says...

I wasn't making a claim.

I was addressing the absurdity of

"Red*eck. N*gger. What's the difference?"

"City Sli*ker" was just a lite punchline.

That's OUR word. Being born white in Texas, I can use it. If you claim there aren't rednecks in towns, you've just exposed your own ignorance.

Sadly, in many parts of the world thanks to unexploded mines, this is no joke but more of a daily threat.
Either the clip is cut too short and the punchline is missing, or this just falls flat for me. I think I'll skip Four Lions.
