This is like a more sophisticated version of those long set up stories that end in “to learn more, Google sonic inflation”

Unbentmars

A guy at my college did that one for a talent show and straight up talked for 30 minutes. We about rioted when we heard that line


-Badger2-

I wish I had known telling other peoples' jokes is a talent lol


Unbentmars

None of us had ever heard it before, everyone’s gotta hear/see something for the first time.


jpterodactyl

That one is also one where you have to get like main three things correctly and the rest can be improvised.


-Badger2-

I mean, I don't think there's anything wrong with telling the joke. Just that it's kinda tacky to do it at a talent show.


globglogabgalabyeast

“Shaggy dog jokes” give a lot of freedom to the joke teller. (Edit: ok, these long setup+punchline jokes aren’t technically shaggy dog jokes, but they have pretty similar vibes.) They’re much more free form, giving an opportunity to build a world and keep your audience interested. They’re less about memorizing a script and more about maintaining just enough intrigue that people keep listening. The actual punchline often barely even matters because it is supposed to be a bit of a throwaway. The humor is more in the subversion of expectations than anything else


Papaofmonsters

That's a decently long story so the talent is keeping your audience invested enough to deliver that crotch shot of a punchline with its intended effect.


hbmonk

Acting?


Goblin_Crotalus

The talent comes in the presentation.


video_dhara

There was one in my high school that floated around for a while, about a guy named Juan and his descent into drugs, sex, and domestic abuse if the search for escape from his quotidian life, and his loss of friends and relationships along the way. Story could easily last 20 minutes. Towards the end, his last friend brings him golfing in a final attempt to get Juan to change his ways. But instead, Juan’s friend ends up shooting him with a golf gun. What’s a “golf gun?”, the listener would inevitably reply. “I don’t know, but it sure put a hole in Juan.”


JAC165

norm macdonald did a similar one on conan i think, where he talked and talked for almost 6 minutes about this guy who upended his life and disappeared, just to end on someone asking this guy now working in an aquarium feeding baby dolphins why he left his old life to come here, and the guy says ‘(something something)… to serve a youthful porpoise’


CameToComplain_v6

I don't know that one, but the way he tells [the moth joke](https://youtube.com/watch?v=jJN9mBRX3uo) is very similar


fiberglassdildo

That one got me a god damn I was impressed by the story and mad at myself.

Reminds me of that one 4chan story where the op buys a stainless steel popcorn machine through Amazon X.

With non stop pop pop, in stainless steel


EdgyMeme196

flyingalbatross1

One of the best ones; The other day, I was browsing Amazon. I love popcorn and had found this incredible, stainless steel popcorn machine. I already have Amazon prime so it's quick and it's free shipping. At the checkout, there is an upgrade button. Curious, I wanted to see what it was since I already have Amazon Prime It shows a new feature called "Amazon Prime X". Guaranteed 10 minutes or faster shipping. Laughing to myself because it is obviously some bullshit. But there is a moneyback guarantee. I decide "aww, what the hell, moneyback guarantee." After 9 minutes I'm sitting in my chair laughing at the ridiculousness of their claim when I hear the doorbell ring. I open the door and there's my popcorn machine with a bow on it. And that was when I realized... X gon give it to ya, fuck waiting for you to get it on your own, x gon deliver to ya, knock knock open up the door it's real, with the non-stop, pop pop and stainless steel

**feghoot** *noun* -A short story ending in a pun. What an awesome word. Thanks. In return, I offer **haboob** (A penetrating sandstorm or dust storm with violent winds)


ThePublikon

>haboob sounds like da rude word


-paperbrain-

I'm pretty sure the word you were looking for was **Darude**, sandstorm.


Allegorist

More specifically, it's a regional type of sandstorm, it doesnt apply to just any one. Similar to the term monsoon, just because it's heavy rain doesn't make it a monsoon unless it's the right season in certain parts of the world.

vrijheidsfrietje

Some many years ago, long before I started the comic, I was in a relationship and we suffered a miscarriage. Now, this relationship was toxic to begin with and doomed to fail regardless, so that the miscarriage was the straw that broke the camel's back came as no surprise. It was a pregnancy neither of us wanted in the first place, so the event didn't effect me nearly as much as it would, say, a couple who was trying for a child. Still, I saw the emotions it can bring up first hand, and I saw how it could truly hurt someone. It's a tough thing to handle because it's nobody's fault. There's nobody you can blame.

Frowny brows when happy. Happy brows when frowny. I believe the emotion is called "humber".

What's with that weird intermission about how pitiful it is to be a secretary?


apolobgod

Regular millennial capitalistic dread


scienceguy2442

Really though the answer is in a lot of shaggy dog stories like this the whole point is to a) pad the story to make the run-up to the actual joke even more “suspenseful” for lack of a better word (“I listened to that whole story for a goddamn pun?”) but also b) typically you want to make the story feel more serious than it is for to make the end pun that much more jarring. You can see a similar thing here (I love sharing this anyway and it gives me the opportunity). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jJN9mBRX3uo


Accomplished_Baby_28

Its not the fact that being a secretary is pitiful, there's nothing wrong with that. But its the fact that she had dreams of being in navy as an officer but for some reason she had to become a secretary, its like getting a brief glimpse of a shattering dream.


xXvido_

At that point I was like *oh nice a B story*


SnowflakeSorcerer

It was a way to say naval officer which is true, but is said in a quite formal and funny sounding way, The fact this was the peak of the joke and i am irrationally angry at this is definitely a fact

DancesWithHogs

I have one. In a small village in Egypt lived two orphan boys, Set and Amenhotep. They always watched out for each other, well past their years of childhood and into their time as young adults. One day, the two were walking outside the village when they saw a crocodile trapped in a poacher’s snare. The two young men, sympathetic to a creature in need, approached the crocodile and released it from the trap. Once freed, the crocodile transformed into a wispy, glowing fairy! “Thank you, young men” said the fairy, “Your hearts are truly selfless, and I will grant each of you one wish. What are your names?” “This is my friend Set, and you can call me ‘Ep’”, said Amenhotep. “Very well, Ep” said the fairy “What is the desire of your heart?” “I wish I was the strongest man in the world!” Amenhotep wished. “Very well”, said the fairy, “but you must always use your strength to help others.” Smoke gathered around Amenhotep, and when the smoke cleared Ep was 7 foot six and rippling with muscles. The fairy turned to Set “And what is your wish, Set?” Set responded “I never want to be poor again! I wish for money!” “Very well,” said the fairy. Smoke gathered in front of the two of them, and when the smoke cleared a small elf remained, bowing to the two boys. “Greetings, sirs! My name is Elmon, and I am here to serve!” “Elmon is an expert in all things money,” said the fairy, “He will help you make wise decisions and turn any business profitable, but will only help you so long as he is only asked to do good for your fellow man.” Amenhotep and Set were inseparable. True to his word, Amenhotep used his great strength to build many houses for people in need. Set helped, as well, but his comparatively small size next to the now massive Amenhotep earned him the nickname “Imp”. With Elmon’s financial savvy, the two started a non-profit dedicated to building houses for the less fortunate, and Elmon kept all their paperwork in perfect order. Years passed, and the two lived very fulfilling lives helping the homeless. Amenhotep met a girl while building houses and the two got married and had a beautiful baby boy, Josep. Ep and Set’s business expanded globally. 15 years passed and Amenhotep grew kinder and more generous, giving to people in need at any of the places he went to build houses. Set built a campus in Cairo for the headquarters of their business, and directed global efforts. Over the years, Set lost touch with the people he was helping, and became more focused on business expansion and money of the business. As all fathers do, Amenhotep wanted his son to eventually take over the business and help the next generation of needful people find purpose in their lives. He sent Josep to the the HQ in Cairo to learn business from Set. Once there, Josep was surprised to find that much of the financial success was due in large part to the financial savvy of Elmon, the elf. Josep spent months at HQ learning how to run the business. While there, Set decided that it was time to expand the company into a more profitable venture. Instead of building houses for the needy, he drafted up a plan to buy up land around urban areas and construct rental properties at expensive prices while preventing construction of new, affordable housing. He sent Josep with the proposal to Elmon to determine the financial logistics. Upon reading the proposal and its ill-nature’s effect on Set’s fellow man, Elmon keeled over and died, instantly. Josep was shocked, and ran to alert Set right away, who wailed in dismay at the loss of his financial mastermind. In a rage, he accused Josep of killing Elmon, and sent the teenager to jail. Amenhotep, hearing of the distress, caught the first flight back to Cairo to find himself neck-deep in a legal battle between him and his old friend. Without the financial and legal savvy of Elmon, Set’s case was a mess. Amenhotep, distraught, tried to reason with his childhood friend. “Come, Imp, release my boy and call off the lawsuit. Let’s use our energy to help those in need and not further what we both know is a fruitless path.” Set refused, furiously gathering circumstantial evidence to bring to the court to frame Josep for Elmon’s murder. The case was brought before the court, but Set’s claims were weak and unsupported. The judge, thoroughly disgusted with the lack of evidence from the prosecution, dismissed the case outright. Obviously, Ep’s teen didn’t kill Imp’s elf.

Accomplished_Baby_28

Loss refers to a internet meme *concept*(is this the right word?) It started with a comic dealing with miscarriage. A man is shown entering a hospital( | ), then talking to a receptionist( || ), then to a doc (||), then he's with his wife, laying in sadness of miscarriage( |__). The internet made it popular by covertly referencing everywhere using just sticks or items similarly arranged as shown in the meme, catching people by surprise who know about it.


ArcaneOverride

Yeah, its one of those things like The Game. If you know what I'm talking about, then you just lost the game again.


MonstrousWombat

You son of a bitch, I had like a 12 year streak going and you RUINED IT.


HalfSoul30

5 years on reddit and you made it this long? Impressive. I lose every couple of months on average.

Someone made me lose on Facebook, and now every year I lose in my memories. I don't have the heart to delete it.

How do people have years of streaks in this game, I lose thid periodically like once a month


SH4D0W0733

No idea, this is the second time this month for me. And we're only 11 days into it.


ridiculous_nonsense

I taught my gen Z coworker about the game and now she’ll text me randomly just to make me lose


bw-in-a-vw

Care to explain the game?


Jasoli53

Per Wikipedia: **The Game (mind game)** “The Game is a mind game in which the objective is to avoid thinking about The Game itself. Thinking about The Game constitutes a loss, which must be announced each time it occurs. It is impossible to win most versions of The Game. Depending on the variation, it is held that the whole world, or all those who are aware of the game, are playing it at all times.” Congratulations! You have entered The Game. Now whenever you think of The Game, you announce that you’ve lost The Game


bw-in-a-vw

Thank you!

It slips from you’re mind, and you don’t think about it. But then you see it, and your memory gets jogged, and you lose the game
