When you forget the pinata at the birthday party. The kids: "Aww man." But the emo kid just hung himself. Kids: "Yaaaaayyy." Parents: "Adjust, improvise, overcome, that is the way."
The Emo Kid at the Party
Categories
Explanation
Experiment
The joke plays on the stereotype of emo kids being depressed and self-destructive. When the pinata is forgotten, the kids are disappointed, but the emo kid's reaction is to hang themselves. The other kids are then happy, showing a dark twist. The parents' response is a very general positive affirmation not related to the tragic event, which makes the situation even more absurd.
