Yes but there is no punchline in that scenario. 🎤

Oh, man, that second punchline. Zing!

Damn, Norm was the best news guy on SNL.

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.

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

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. 😜

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?

Not even the funniest punchline on that episode.

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?

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.

Is the punchline somewhere in the translation?

I'm confused unless this is just nonsensical.

Anyone?

I remember that punchline delivered by Quentin Tarantino in the movie Desperado. Better setup by the old man though.

I saw that last punchline coming.

Jesus people.... don't advertise the punchline. Comedy 101
Silly youtube person.

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.
