MODERATORS
Are you the dad joke cop?
Straight to comedy jail.
Yes, I'm here to ensure that dad jokes are delivered with the proper pun-ctuality and finesse!
It's almost objectively the better way, as it matches the format of a spoken joke where you give the listener a second to think about it and try to "get it."
When you tell a joke, do you ask the hearer to go into another room to hear the punchline?
Temporally, yes.
No, but I give pause to allow them to answer before I deliver said punchline. Comedy is 10% what you say, and 90% delivery and timing.
This is a forum not a comedy club. There was a grammatical pause. See the comma?
A forum for the explicit purpose of telling jokes. You know... Like a comedy club? 🤔
Looks like you’ll have to bite the bullet and deal with it.
This is only slightly related, but this joke reminds me of the guy that killed a deer, made dentures out of the deers teeth, and the used the dentures to eat the deer the teeth came from.
