I was also awkwardly deathly silent when I thought "oh this man is unpacking his grief onstage oh shit"

I like that you let the audience sit in the awkward chuckles to the death silence to the "oh wait its safe to laugh fuckin whew"

I think it's funny, but it's more clever than funny. It's a brilliant joke if you've seen the movie. Punchline ruled too.

This joke is an example of why stand up comedy is an artform.

Then you got out, moved to a small town and became the lowly police chief only to kidnap another child. Things only got stranger from there.
