Listen here, you silly goose, you really posted this joke and you thought it was funny? You know nothing! Here's how it works: The joke plays on the idea that giving a man therapy might make him sad temporarily by confronting his issues. Then, it uses dark humor to flip it into a more morbid alternative: giving him a noose. The punchline is about the permanence of death compared to the temporary sadness of therapy. So, the sadness is not the point, it is a contrast to the permanent ending of the life with a noose. Get it?
