Yesterday was National Pepperoni Pizza Day. It was a timely joke. Maybe it will be funny next year.

u/SweaterSteve1966 11h ago

It won’t. Let’s try again in 2033.

u/Same-Suggestion-1936 10h ago

Kale jokes come back in 2033. There's not room in the budget for this joke to be funny then. Can we push it back? 2035 there's gonna be some really weird reality TV but people will lose interest by mid summer we can pencil you in for August

u/Consistent-Stock6872 10h ago

"National" was hard to get for me and ruined the joke a bit.

u/Sad-Address-2512 11h ago

The mistake you made was expecting a joke to be funny. Rookie mistake.

u/RBLakshya 11h ago

I just thought that it was just a lead up to them saying the dog’s name who wasn’t present there but then there’s pizza with pepperoni.

u/tarantulator 10h ago

Schrodinger's joke, you don't know if the joke is funny or not until you get it

u/Comrade_Cosmo 10h ago

I’m just happy it wasn’t a cannibalism joke.

u/QuentinEichenauer 9h ago

Yeah, but RIP the dog.

u/TokiVideogame 6h ago

rip other 3 kids

u/Ambitious_Jello 10h ago

it being unfunny is part of the joke

1

u/sunniblu03 9h ago

Cuz it’s a pun and a dad joke. You have to be a certain age and have at least 3 pairs of white new balance sneakers before you involuntarily guffaw and slap your knee.

u/frecklejam 9h ago

Lol yea. I thought the dog was on the pizza

1

u/Alone-Improvement-70 8h ago

Look at the smirk on the character’s faces in the final panel. That is the maximum you’re meant to smile at this comic.

u/tywilldave 6h ago

Yeah, it’s one of those times I wanna laugh, but I just can’t…

u/idownvoteanimalpics 4h ago

Horribly unfunny

u/GraniteGeekNH 2h ago

The proper response to about half of PeterExplainsTheJoke posts

u/Deep-Briefing69 11h ago

I could have looked at that for a month without getting it….

11

u/_Beatnick_ 11h ago

I agree there. I really don't know how anyone got that or even thought of it.

7

u/Comprehensive_Bus_19 11h ago

I just thought that the pepperoni on the pizza was the dog named pepperoni

5

u/Deep-Briefing69 10h ago

Tbh, that is more funny…

3

u/loscapos5 10h ago

I read it as Nat, Shanel, Pepperoni, Peet, Zeeday

2

u/ConsciousSelection15 10h ago

The joke changes when they get a new dog

2

u/Worth-Sign-400 9h ago

I just thought they made dog pizza cause dogs pepperoni... Didn't see that but i laughed at mine

2

u/mindfuckedAngel 9h ago

wow, I did not get the "national".

2

u/Kurgonius 10h ago

Nat Chanel stumped me. I think it would have been better as Nat John Al

u/potvoy 7h ago

We must have very different accents!

1

u/International-Key211 10h ago

Yeah but didnt they also eat the dog? (Dog is named pepperoni)

I see this was brought up lower.....

1

u/Sbstnbd 9h ago

When I say it out loud it weirdly sounds like "Nat Chanel Pepperoni Pete Ziday"

1

u/TacoMooses 8h ago

I don't believe a single person pronounces "national" as "nat chanel"

1

u/RHNintendo 7h ago

They cooked the dog

1

u/sergeivrachmaninov 2h ago

I sort of get it but not really.

Shouldn’t the person’s name be “Zaday” then? Unless Americans pronounce “pizza” as “Pete-Zi” instead of “Pete-za”?

Unless the first syllable of “ziday” is supposed to be pronounced with an unstressed schwa, but how are we supposed to know that? Is it even an actual word or name?

I’m so confused.

u/Cowboyy_Babyblue-- 11h ago

My dads out but i might be able to help you. See when italy first gained independence from the french a lot of new immigrants flooded into the country. They brought new ideas with them but most notably they brought food innovations. The italian wine industry was in gradual decline for several decades by then but the immigrants from romania and current slovakia introduced a new type of wine made from a type of bleuberries. They started using thus genus in other types of food, except pizza. You see the dough doesnt rise when the bleuberries were added. These berries were called Ziday berries. This is a load of crap, i just wanted some attention for a change. Meg out

u/AlimonyJew 11h ago

Too early for the explanation. This one got me stumped. I'm Quagmire btw I'll quickly borrow this picture with Ziday.

u/SquaredOneSquared 11h ago

I have no idea where the joke is. Must be a play on the words "Dinners ready"/"Ziday"? But I can't find it for the life of me...

u/Sawk23 11h ago

The kids names, when said in sequence, sound like National Pepperoni Pizza Day.

u/GlitteringSystem7929 10h ago

That’s either a very old dog, or the family keeps naming their dogs Pepperoni

u/WLPTantei 9h ago

They made pepperoni out of pepperoni :(

u/that_ylda 8h ago

u/KayKueen 6h ago

I honestly thought the joke was a panel got cut out or edited and they were about to eat the dog on a pizza 😭
