Worst Laffy Taffy Joke EVER

From my banana Laffy Taffy wrapper:

Question:







Answer:




WHAT?!

The setup is fine. I was looking forward to a clever response after the setup. "Which garden has the most vegetables?" Hmm. That's a good one. I don't know. I'm sure the answer will be quite comical!

And"Flash Garden" itself could be a good punchline to a joke, because it sounds a lot like Flash Gordon.

But together? No, Brandon. Your joke = fail. Just off the top of my head I can think of several better setups for that punchline:

Q: What did the gardener call his garden after planting all the flower "bulbs"?
A: Flash Garden!

Q: What did Eve say to Adam after she ate from the Tree of Knowledge and saw Adam walking around naked?
A: What is this, Flash Garden?


I can also think of a better response for that setup:

Q: What garden has the most vegetables?
A: An Olive Garden full of comatose patients! ... because there are vegetables at Olive Garden, and people in comas are "vegetables." Get it?

Of course you do. Because it makes sense, the way dumb Laffy Taffy jokes are supposed to make sense. Willy Wonka, how dare you print Brandon's joke. HOW DARE YOU!

  1. From an actual Laffy Taffy:

    Q: Why did the bulldog have a flat nose?
    A: Because he parked cars.

    My belief is that the word "chased" was supposed to be there, but still...

  3. Man, they're really printing any average joe's jokes these days.

    Here are equally as nonsensical jokes:

    What did the priest say to the rabbi when his toe was stepped on?
    "Arrrrgh, you be drivin' me nuts."

    Why did the chicken cross the road?
    Because Molly Ringwald was mowing her lawn.

    And, my favorite:
    What kind of garden did they grow at the nudist colony?
    A flash garden.


    Still, wtf?
