Are you tired of lame punchlines and quips
that kill the vibe when they leave someone’s lips?
Are you tired of forcing fake laughter
for your spouse who swears they are a joke-master?
Does your boss have a bad sense of humor
and you want to sense the jokes a bit sooner?
The makers of the Smoke Detector
now present the Corny Joke Detector!!
Whether you place it in the kitchen or closet,
or carry it in your purse or pocket,
our technology detects pathetic jokes
as they form in a corny person’s eye sockets.
A specific wave is then sent to your brain
which is completely non-toxic,
giving you a chance to either change the topic,
or put your hand in their face and scream ‘stop it!’
It’s holiday season and everyone is shopping!
So, if you order the Detector in the next 10 minutes,
we’ll throw in a free piece of chocolate!
For those who suffer through grandpa’s punchlines
and are beginning to lack hope
call 1-555-BAD-JOKE
For those who suffer through awful quips at lunchtime
and are beginning to lack hope
call 1-555-BAD-JOKE
Don’t miss this limited-time offer
because the Corny Joke Detector eliminates the torture!

I always wondered when shows are filmed in front of a live studio audiences, how mundane the crowd gets. Like every 5 seconds the laugh button goes off.

Good point! Those audiences must be suffering! If it’s funny, it’s funny, if it’s not, it’s not, right? The fact that the word “laugh” lights up is awful – and I think they add in alot of laughter with technology afterwards, and they are probably at the point where they don’t even film in front of studio audiences. I watch Disney with my niece sometimes and they don’t even claim to be in front of a live audience. It’s all bogus, and they write the script so a corny joke is told every 30 seconds … probably because they think we would fall asleep otherwise lol

That’s because filmmakers are scared to take chances. It’s always a fad with show business. Alien movies, superhero movies, fast cars, etc. It all depends on what is “HOT” at the moment. It seems like every movie is the #1 movie in America. That title holds no merit anymore.

True! Content always takes a backseat to money and/or capitalizing on a trend. Reality TV is a culture now. America sucks at everything except war

Hahaha…this poem is awesome. I like corny jokes when the person knows they are corny. Then we just laugh at how corny it is. Fortunately, I don’t believe I know anyone who tells corny jokes and doesn’t realize how bad they are. lol

Lol. Thanks! You right, you right. I can appreciate a corny joke as long as THAT is the joke. But I don’t know any self reflexive people like that. It seems as if corny people SWEARRRRRR they are killing it with their lame puns lol.
