Thats gotta be the worst one i have seen so far wow. Whats the opposite of a punchline?

It’s an anti-joke. I love it.

Two go through a tunnel. Says the third to the fourth: You, I think we’re five. Says the sixth: I don’t get it.

Cyanide smells (and maybe tastes?) like almonds. For people aware of this there is a subversion of expectation. It isn’t particularly good joke but taken satirically it’s alright.

What’s the purpose of the grenade then? He poisoned her, then blew up with a grenade. Why?

It’s supposed to be a one-two punch. You’re expecting him to kill her with cyanide, but it turns out you were mistaken! Then he kills her anyway
This kind of joke can totally work in a well-paced comedy, but not a two sentence horror. It’s a stretch to do it in two sentences.

It’s called an anti-joke and I found it funny. It was obviously set up that way by the poster.
- unexposedhazard ( @unexposedhazard@discuss.tchncs.de ) 3•6 months ago
Nah turns out its actually a very smart joke, see Blue_Morpho’s reply and my follow up.

I genuinely thought it was hilarious. The first sentence is the setup, while the second delivers a misdirection and finishes on an absurd conclusion.

Why would he slide the pin across the floor? That’s the real horror.

One of the best 2 sentence horror stories i’ve read
