Wait what
 
"Why did the chicken cross the road?"

"To get to the other side"


How have only finally understood this joke now?

GypsyGoth 11-02-2012 11:31 PM
I still actually don't get it.

King Gizzard 11-02-2012 11:33 PM
I still don't get other than the meaning that it's common sense

Unless theres some hidden joke I've never realised..?

Wait.. there is a real reason behind it? Or was Chewy just being a little dense for his whole life? haha (least possible offensive way)

Doogle 11-02-2012 11:36 PM
I don't get it :sad:

Scarlett. 11-02-2012 11:37 PM
Think of where the chicken would most likely end up on a busy road

Doogle 11-02-2012 11:38 PM
That's so sad. How is that a joke? That's really upsetting :(

GypsyGoth 11-02-2012 11:38 PM
I always thought there was a footbridge that the chicken was using to cross the road :suspect:

hmm, don't think thats the actual meaning of the punch line, i think its always just been a lame joke and thats why its supposedly funny

Marc 11-02-2012 11:40 PM
Do you mean.. the other side is... heaven?

Harry! 11-02-2012 11:43 PM
But why would the chicken would want their literal death in the first place?

I found out about it on reddit, so it might have been circulating for a while :p

"Why did the chicken cross the road?" is a common riddle or joke in several languages. The answer or punchline is: "To get to the other side". The riddle is an example of anti-humor, in that the curious setup of the joke leads the listener to expect a traditional punchline, but they are instead given a simple statement of fact. Since its inception, "Why did the chicken cross the road?" has become largely iconic as an exemplary generic joke to which most people know the answer, and has been repeated and changed numerous times.
Although it does then say "Punning variations may interpret "the other side" to refer to the afterlife", never really considered that before
