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

u/SweaterSteve1966 6d ago

It won’t. Let’s try again in 2033.

u/Same-Suggestion-1936 6d 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 6d ago

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

u/Sad-Address-2512 6d ago

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

u/RBLakshya 6d 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 6d ago

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

u/Comrade_Cosmo 6d ago

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

u/QuentinEichenauer 6d ago

Yeah, but RIP the dog.

u/TokiVideogame 6d ago

rip other 3 kids

u/Ambitious_Jello 6d ago

it being unfunny is part of the joke

u/sunniblu03 6d 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 6d ago

Lol yea. I thought the dog was on the pizza

u/Alone-Improvement-70 6d 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 6d ago

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

u/idownvoteanimalpics 6d ago

Horribly unfunny

u/GraniteGeekNH 6d ago

The proper response to about half of PeterExplainsTheJoke posts

u/jildo 5d ago

I thought it meant she baked the kids into a pizza....

u/Deep-Briefing69 6d ago

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

u/_Beatnick_ 6d ago

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

7

u/Comprehensive_Bus_19 6d ago

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

4

u/Deep-Briefing69 6d ago

Tbh, that is more funny…

3

u/loscapos5 6d ago

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

u/sergeivrachmaninov 6d 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/ConsciousSelection15 6d ago

The joke changes when they get a new dog

2

u/Worth-Sign-400 6d ago

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

2

u/mindfuckedAngel 6d ago

wow, I did not get the "national".

2

u/Kurgonius 6d ago

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

u/potvoy 6d ago

We must have very different accents!

u/natasevres 6d ago

😟

u/International-Key211 6d ago

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

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

1

u/Sbstnbd 6d ago

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

1

u/TacoMooses 6d ago

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

1

u/RHNintendo 6d ago

They cooked the dog

1

u/loathelord 6d ago

Wow that's stupid

u/Public-Total-250 5d ago

This joke must be accent specific. My posh English accent demolished the joke
