Thread 213493370

in the 90s you just had a book with everyone's phone number?

>>213493370 (OP)
That's not even the greatest Simpons joke
>t. chuck

Be honest: PattE or SelmA?

The joke is set up to make you think they called everyone in the phone book since they started with someone in the As and ended with someone in the Zs. But the punchline is they actually only called two people

>>213493747
HAHAHAHAHAH THEY ONLY CALLED TWO PEOPLE? TWO PEOPLE INSTEAD OF EVERYONE HAHAAHAHAHZHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

it's a subversion of typical sitcom tropes. It might not seem like much now but back then it was unexpected

>the simpsons had writers with actual sense of humor
why does this make me feel sad? seems like writers nowadays are complete idiots following a producer formula

>>213494007
back then the show had something to prove. Now it only exists to justify merch sales

>>213493804
It's not a subversion of sitcom tropes, I doubt there's even one sitcom where a character that is meant to keep a secret from one person calls the entire phonebook instead, let alone enough examples to make it a trope.
The humor is solely the fact that the audience is expecting a joke only to immediately get rugpulled

name one joke from tv/film that you think is funny

>>213493370 (OP)
Do you keep posting this into a meme to annoy us into thinking that it's not a good joke at all? Cause it is actually a pretty funny subversion.

>>213494227

Literally stolen from British kino

No, Police Squad is best.

>Now do you think you can beat the champ?
>I can take him blindfolded
>What if he's not blindfolded?
>I can still beat him!

>>213494675

Man goes to doctor. Says he's depressed. Says life seems harsh and cruel. Says he feels all alone in a threatening world where what lies ahead is vague and uncertain. Doctor says, 'Treatment is simple. Great clown Pagliacci is in town tonight. Go and see him. That should pick you up.' Man bursts into tears. Says, 'But doctor…I am Pagliacci.' Good joke. Everybody laugh.
