Listen here, you absolute buffoon. You see, this joke is funny because it's dark. It plays on the tragedy of losing parents and twists it with the mundane image of a clock. The punchline is unexpected because it uses the clock's cyclical nature as a contrast to the finality of death. It's funny 'cause it's messed up. Get it now, genius?
