The Priest and the Bar

A priest, a rapist, a pedophile, and a homosexual walk into a bar.

He orders a drink.

Explanation

Experiment

The joke plays on the expectation that a group of people with distinct, often controversial or negative, labels would have a more complex interaction. Instead, they are treated as a single entity, 'he,' and the punchline is anticlimactic with the very common action of 'ordering a drink'. This subverts the setup and creates an absurd situation, highlighting the shock value from the initial group setup.

The joke would make grammatical sense if "walk" was replaced with "walks."

@Shalev No that is not correct

Best would actually be "walked" and "ordered". "Walked" can come after both "he" and "they".

Listen to Dong so your grammar's not wrong. Mnemonics.

Would be funnier without the homosexual slur.

A priest, a rapist, and a pedophile walk into a bar. He orders a drink.

The fuck outta here with that weak shit Jarjarbinks. If your fee fees can't handle an offensive joke maybe you should go surf on Nickelodeon, muppet.

the joke doesn't work with the homosexual. comedy works in threes. also, comedy is about economy of language. homosexual is five syllables. does the joke work without those five extra syllables? yes, it does. lose the five extra syllables, then the joke has more punch.

can someone explain

i dont get it lol

I really don’t get it can someone explain

This is like a joke that I saw on tik tok lmaooo, I hate christians

@Ur mom it basically means that the rapist, priest, pedophile and homosexual are all just one person. Basically meaning that he is 4 things in one

And that is just the first person!

Homophobic, don’t lump me in asshole!

@Bushra lol am not from any religion but it sounds funny when a religious person hates another one like em. Maybe Muslims love Ariana Grande as much as they love the twin towers.

i think itd be funny without the homophobia pls dont associate gay ppl with derranged crimes
