Alex's Dad's Job

Teacher: Ok class, I'm going to ask a question about your family.

Alex: Miss, my Dad died in 9/11.

Teacher: OH NO, I'M SO SORRY!

Alex: Don't worry miss. It was only Dad and besides, he did what he wanted before he died.

Teacher: What was that?

Alex: Flew the plane.

Explanation

Experiment

The joke is dark and shocking. Alex's casual way of talking about his dad's death on 9/11, then revealing his dad was the pilot, is an unexpected twist. It is cringe because the punchline is so insensitive, and it uses a real tragedy for humor.
