Orphan, Emo, and Apple

An orphan, an emo, and an apple are on a tree. The apples get picked unlike the orphan, while the emo kid is already dead from hanging.

Explanation

Experiment

This joke plays on dark humor. The setup is a typical 'walk into a bar' scenario, but it takes a dark turn. Instead of a punchline related to the orphan or apple, the joke reveals that the emo kid is dead, which is both unexpected and morbidly funny due to the stereotype of emo kids being depressed and associated with self-harm. The fact that the apples are picked while the orphan is ignored adds to the dark and sad nature of the joke.
