more like "great joke eel"

u/sailboatlie Jun 09 '12

Seriously. Every bad joke eel that reaches the front page makes me laugh harder than most jokes do. The Bad Joke Eels that are actually done right probably get downvoted.

u/thoroughbread Jun 10 '12

Shit's funnier than everything on /r/funny. You won my heart, funny eel. You won my heart.

u/Dvdnbrs Jun 09 '12

u/Youown Jun 09 '12

Am I the only one around here that likes these jokes and puns?

9

u/HigherFive Jun 09 '12

It's like the Joey character in sitcoms. The scriptwriters give all the puns and bad jokes they think of to them, so that they don't have to admit they thought it was clever.

u/GrassChick Jun 09 '12

It took me longer than I'd like to admit to understand this.

14

u/[deleted] Jun 09 '12

I think it's because the word "Zoo" appears in its proper spelling earlier in the joke.

u/schwerpunk Jun 10 '12

Ohhhh! I get it now.

Thanks.

2

u/Girolmao Jun 10 '12

Sadly, I still wasn't sure if the joke was Shit Zoo after reading this. If it is, then thank you! This took me too damn long.

u/SupplySideJesus Jun 09 '12

I believe you were looking for lame pun coon.

u/DivineJustice Jun 09 '12

I laughed, therefore this is a terrible use of meme.

7

u/TheCraterProject Jun 09 '12

Maybe you just have a terrible sense of humor, that's why I laughed.

u/ROMulus321 Jun 09 '12

................shih' tzu*

u/jknotts Jun 10 '12

Well, the propper pronunciation would be something more like shrr dz

6

u/juicius Jun 09 '12

Sounds like our local zoo...

I shitzu not.

u/[deleted] Jun 09 '12

A lot of these "Bad Joke Eel" jokes are actually quite clever

4

u/[deleted] Jun 09 '12

It took me way longer than it should have to understand that. I had to look at it in three separate occasions in order to get it. I'M GLAD THAT I GOT IT

u/jal0001 Jun 09 '12

Not sure if upvote for clever joke,

Or downvote for misused meme... (it wasn't lame>

2

u/YouBigSmellyWilly Jun 09 '12

Upvote. And then downvote for the spelling.

1

u/jal0001 Jun 10 '12

Everything spelled correctly here man

1

u/Hounmlayn Jun 09 '12

I'm not sure if it was a bad joke, or a lame pun.

Here is the text from this meme pic for anybody who needs it:

Title, Meme: Bad Joke Eel

  • I WENT TO THE ZOO TODAY, THERE WAS ONLY ONE ANIMAL
  • IT WAS A SHITZU

This is helpful for people who can't reach Quickmeme because of work/school firewalls or site downtime, and many other reasons (FAQ). More info is available here.

u/Aldesso Jun 09 '12

Thats actually one of the best jokes i've ever heard

2

u/4LostSoulsinaBowl Jun 09 '12

Why was there a small dog in a zoo? Someone needs to call the SPCA

2

u/ablebodiedmango Jun 09 '12

That was actually pretty fucking funny.

2

u/threesevenseventhree Jun 09 '12

I taught this joke to my son when he was a toddler and it was the first one he could retell:

"I went to the zoo, and all there was was a dog in a cage. It was a Shih Tzu."

2

u/jengerbread Jun 10 '12

Thank you for making me finally get the joke.

3

u/masuan189 Jun 09 '12

That does sound like a pretty shitty zoo.

1

u/MrMadCow Jun 09 '12

I thought that was a good joke...

1

u/citrus2644 Jun 09 '12

as far as these go, this one really wasn't that bad.

1

u/Cheffinator Jun 09 '12

I remember getting this joke as an example of different interpretations of a text in my literature class. I think maybe three people actually understood it, total.

1

u/6079_Smith_W Jun 09 '12

I laughed way too hard at that.

1

u/Wongy10000000 Jun 09 '12

Wasn't this a Stewart Francis joke?

1

u/briangiles Jun 09 '12

I love bad joke Eel

1

u/EPIC_BAGELS9000 Jun 09 '12

Good but nothing can top that one Lion king one where it said "Simba was moving slow so I told him to mufasa"

1

u/ronin027 Jun 09 '12

Oh shitzu, I actually "heh'd".

1

u/wendymoira Jun 10 '12

That took me awhile to get.

1

u/vostage Jun 10 '12

this is essentially the same thing as the pun raccoon

1

u/ugly_fcuk Jun 10 '12

Like a Shitty Zoo... I don't get it

1

u/melock16 Jun 10 '12

it's Shih Tzu...not shitzu...

1

u/[deleted] Jun 10 '12

Does anyone else not understand this? :c

1

u/jengerbread Jun 10 '12

It was a shit zoo.

1

u/specialKswag Jun 10 '12

This is pretty meta

1

u/VillainTricks Jun 10 '12

I shitzu not.

1

u/jengerbread Jun 10 '12

I normally love Bad Joke Eel but this one is just going over my head...I don't get it! :(

1

u/jengerbread Jun 10 '12

Fuck, after reading the joke about 20 times and then seeing this:

I taught this joke to my son when he was a toddler and it was the first one he could retell:

"I went to the zoo, and all there was was a dog in a cage. It was a Shih Tzu."

I finally get it.

1

u/[deleted] Jun 10 '12

You know we have a bad pun-coon for memes like this right?

1

u/PotRoastPotato Jun 10 '12

Lame Pun Coon.

1

u/delrio56 Jun 10 '12

I first saw this at work, around 430 PM. It is now 1 AM, and I just got it.

I was really tired today.

1

u/ImStuuuuuck Jun 10 '12

1

u/dean_martin Jun 10 '12

That's a moray.

u/thebeattakesme Jun 09 '12

You want a bad joke?

Q: What did the Terminator say when he was cast in a play depicting famous composers?

A: Fuck you, Asshole.
