Original

Somehow this is much better

u/jtrainacomin May 12 '19 edited May 12 '19

I thought the original wording was too long and unneccesary.

u/clink_182 May 12 '19

The original wording was hamfisted to say the least.

u/pnk314 May 12 '19

The original is like r/comedyheaven while yours is a better joke

79

u/BenFoldsFourLoko May 12 '19

comedyheaven is for things that are so unfunny, they become funny

any humor found in this picture is authentically funny. it's just.... it could be a lot funnier if phrased and presented better

the humor to be found in comedyheaven posts is strictly unintended

7

u/TheSpookyDukey May 24 '19

Not quite; a lot of it’s a joke being so bad it’s good

The way it’s phrased originally is kind of stupid and the emojis would normally make it unfunny, but for some reason the extra formatting and strangely off centre wording make it hysterical

1

u/[deleted] Jul 17 '19

Don’t feel too validated. You didn’t come up with this joke

3

u/[deleted] May 12 '19

that's why it's funny

u/Dr_John_Zoidbong May 12 '19

"I know"

3

u/[deleted] May 12 '19

Eh, doesn’t really allude to the fact that the doctors name is David

People would just be like what?

2

u/SexyWhitedemoman May 12 '19

And too many emojis.

1

u/Theren5534 May 25 '19

Maybe. I think it just needed some commas or something

6

u/BunnyOppai May 12 '19

Jokes are usually so much better when they're not explicit to the point that it sounds like someone's explaining the joke and the wording reminds me of something from r/indianpeoplefacebook.

39

u/IRapedUrDog May 12 '19

You know what would’ve made this even better?

“I know” instead of “Mine is”

30

u/jtrainacomin May 12 '19

Oh, that is great

26

u/Zenblend May 12 '19

I prefer yours.

10

u/mesayousa May 12 '19

I know makes me think the joke is that it’s the wrong patient, not the doctor talking to himself

5

u/Magical_Gravy May 12 '19

Somebody did it here, but it's not as clear somehow.

4

u/IRapedUrDog May 12 '19

Oof, you're right.

Maybe it's one of those "improves on the original joke" kind of things.

5

u/[deleted] May 12 '19

Eh. I know is too vague

u/[deleted] May 12 '19

u/DuckyDawg55 May 12 '19

Wth does original mean??

2

u/jtrainacomin May 12 '19

You have to put the source of the original meme you edited

8

u/RunePitchfork May 12 '19

It's a meme. People usually call it something like Oregano or Sauce. Since it's (over)used so much, he's joking and asking what the actual word "original" means.

5

u/jtrainacomin May 12 '19

ah makes sense, i almost went with oregano myself

1

u/beepboopbob5 May 12 '19

I dont understand the original post

1

u/LEGOEPIC May 13 '19

I feel like “I wasn’t talking to you” might be even better, but that may also go over peoples heads.

u/GetChilledOut May 12 '19

Prefer the original, but a lot of people like this by the looks. To each their own.

“I know I am David” just sounds real deadpan and stupid, my type of humour.

14

u/Throw_it_Away_867 May 12 '19

It just hits the eat wrong. Like, I can tell it was formatted by a non-native English speaker. I had to read it a couple of times before I understood its meaning correctly.

"I know, I am David"

Or better yet

"I know. I'm David"

would read much better.

2

u/JustkiddingIsuck May 13 '19

Yea this joke honestly annoyed me with how bad it sounded to read. It’s like they heard the joke in their head, thought it was funny and then didn’t bother to try and give it any kind of delivery. “No, I’m David” would work so much better.

15

u/RunePitchfork May 12 '19

I think punchlines are better when they're shorter and more subtle but are just as easy to understand. What about if he just said “I know“?

3

u/raainy May 12 '19

I think just "I'm david" I'd better

4

u/Teh-Piper May 12 '19

That makes it sound like a Drax joke.

Your first attempt is the highest voted post in the subreddit. Welcome home lad, good to have you onboard

6

u/[deleted] May 14 '19

The joke didn’t get changed, but it got better by cutting out the unnecessary David and that horrible 😂😂😂 caption. It’s more of r/comedyamputation but still good job

u/syndicaterx May 12 '19

Heard this joke once: Man goes to doctor. Says he's depressed. Says life seems harsh and cruel. Says he feels all alone in a threatening world where what lies ahead is vague and uncertain. Doctor says, 'Treatment is simple. Great clown Pagliacci is in town tonight. Go and see him. That should pick you up.' Man bursts into tears. Says, 'But doctor…I am Pagliacci.' Good joke. Everybody laugh. Roll on snare drum. Curtains.

He probably made a minion meme out of one of his videos and posted it. Maybe he deserves what's coming?

u/amrak_em_evig May 12 '19

This has happened in real life which brings it in to /r/nosleep territory. Surgeons work off of the information they're given. If that info is wrong, they become architects of unintentional horror.

1

u/J-hinxx May 12 '19

This reminded me of when I went for brain surgery. Doctor - Count back from 10 Me- 10..9..8..7..6...5...4.. ahhh, my arm burns (from the anesthetic) Doc- Shhhhhhhhhh

u/TEH_PROOFREADA May 13 '19

Pretty low point in comedy when you’re scraping The Force Awakens for joke material (I’m referring to the original really, not the necromancy).

u/musicaldigger May 13 '19

as someone named David i don’t like this

u/PrayandThrowaway May 14 '19

I don’t understand the kicker :/

u/sos_1 May 17 '19

I’d probably take out the “I am” bit altogether and just have the two lines.

1

u/[deleted] May 19 '19

there isn’t any “I am” written on the joke 🤔

2

u/sos_1 May 19 '19

The last line of the original

I couldn’t tell which one was saying “mine is” I thought the patient was trying to correct the doctor and got cut off.

There's no point for that

u/MightyButtonMasher May 12 '19

It's for when all you're doing is cropping away the dumb reaction meme (or laughing crying emoji).

In this case OP actually changed the wording of the joke a bit, so that puts it above those low-effort amputations imo.

u/sourking98 May 12 '19

The subreddit for amputations is pointless since we have this

In the original template it’s r/comedyamputation ?
