utility knock-knock joke

Any of several well-known "door-tap pun" verbal exchanges which involve either an offer ("Howard", "Tijuana", etc.) or a request ("Woodrow", "Kudu", etc.) by da speaker to da listener; often, said query is proffered in said manner in an effort to lighten da mood and add a little humor to said proposal, in order to hopefully take some of da sting outta da expressed idea, which might involve less-than-desirable aspects such as difficult/yucky/tedious labor, significant changes in habits/lifestyle such as being more active and/or giving up "comfort" foods, etc.

A lot of da utility knock-knock joke selections are somewhat "interchangeable" as far as their "request" or "offer" status --- i.e., a word dat's mostly intended for proposing an assistive/generosity action by da speaker to da listener (such as "Howard you like me to _?", or "Tijnana do/have _?") can also be used by da speaker for asking for assistance/charity from da listener (such as, "Howard you feel about doing _?", or "Tijuana volunteer to _?"). Or by da same token, a gigglingly-uttered conversing dat uses a word which is usually reserved for giving-of-time/resources appeals can also be used by da speaker to extend an offer of help to da listener, such as, "Woodrow like me to _?", or "Kudu let me help you out by _?"

Mum joke

A mum joke is similar to a dad joke, except it either doesn't land, isn't funny, or is trying too hard.

Because it listens to its motherboard."

-Oh that is such a mum joke!

joke-a-paper

A newspaper that focusses on profit rather than serious journalism.

A paper that has no interest in winning a Pulitzer Prize or other awards for journalistic excellence might well be a joke-a-paper more interested in revenue from display and classified ads than trying to investigate what goes on behind the scenes.

Joke

What people think you are if you're not laughing at their attempt at a joke.

Guy 1-I just told the joke, laugh at it you uptight bastard.
Guy 2-I heard your joke, I got your joke, I didn't laugh at it based on life experience with you, I don't trust you so I don't think you're a funny guy even if others do. Not even if everybody seems to. I think you're a fuckin hypocrite just like me, and disagree with most of what you say, I have no good reason to laugh when you tell a joke at this time.
Guy 1-You're a joke, nobody likes you, booooooo, waaaaaahh waaaaaahhhh mommy he didn't laugh at my jokes the mean bastard. I'm gonna turn everybody you know against you for life now over nothing, my joke wasn't shit it was you and people like you that suck.
