Cannibal's Culinary Choice

Listen up, buttercup! This joke is funny because it uses a "pun." A pun is when a word or phrase is used in a way to give it a humorous effect. In this case, it plays on the double meaning of "funny." Clowns are funny as in humorous, but "funny" can also mean strange or odd, like a weird taste. Cannibals don't eat clowns because they taste "funny" in the odd-taste way, not because they're hilarious... although they might be both! I hear you're a gamer too? I bet you have a hard time beating level 1.
