That's a very poor joke.

Crazy topic title, and stupid joke. I do not get it. When I first saw this thread, I was worried it was something racist.

It's hard to understand the meaning behind it because it bears little resemblance to what it refers to.

Like "Beer Can" and Bacon. Beer can sounds like a Jamaican saying "Bacon"

I hope that's not racist...

For what it's worth ...I don't get it either. But that doesn't bother me.

I don't have much in the way of a humor impairment. I have an excellent sense of humor, and I didn't get it. Even after it was spelled out, I still didn't find it even remotely funny. I find it hard to believe that a whole class would be so amused by such a dumb joke. I suppose it's meant to be a humorous play on words, but in my opinion, the joke completely fails to be at all humorous.

I've never heard of this joke before. Google is your friend. I found why its funny, however I don't find it funny. :shrug

Don't feel stupid - as given, I didn't get it either, and I don't think I'm terribly dim. Further, once the alleged "punch line" was explained, I still didn't see where anyone could find it even mildly amusing. "Stupid" fails to describe this "joke" in much the same way as "damp" fails to describe the Pacific Ocean.

Now, for something more humorous...

Q. What's the difference between a golf ball and a Cadillac Escalade?

A. Tiger Woods can drive a golf ball 400 yards without hitting a tree,

I hate to seem so dim-witted, but....

"Bow Chick a Bow Wow" means absolutely NOTHING to me....

I mean, maybe because I'm 47 -- I didn't know that somehow that is slang for "sex"?? is that what you all are saying??

and if so.... why is the thought of a brown cow having sex with a brown chicken funny? haha... or am I just STILL just not getting it????

If that has something to do with the music of '70's porn...AGAIN...... it doesn't make me laugh....

I mean, I was around during the 70's and probably saw a bit of 70's porn and disco/funk music but still,

I just DON"T GET this joke!!.... even apparently after it's spelled out for me... "bow chick a bow wow"????????????????????? not funny.. that expression doesn't make me laugh..

I must be out of the loop on this or there is a piece to this puzzle that is missing?? like was it used in some sit-com or something?? I don't even watch TV hardly at all anymore....

THANK YOU all for your replies on this though!! : ) It still didn't seem to make me "get" the joke though... I got the other jokes here though -- THANK YOU for those!! : )

I didn't get it either until it was spelled out, and I still don't find it funny.

Yeah, thats definately not a thought out joke . . . it attempts to be a pun, but it isnt.

Here's a better one:

A guy walks up to me and says, "Im a teepee, im a wigwam, im a teepee, im a wigwam," and i say to him, "Relax man, you're two tents."

for those who dont get that, tents = tense = teepee/wigwam, two = too (yes, i got this from WoW). Probably not one of my better selections, but meh . . .

It took me 5 minutes of continual thinking to finally get that joke..

I want to like that joke, but half my brain is still reminding me that a wigwam isn't really a tent--it tends to be a more or less permanent structure, depending on the nation and tribe and their location, whereas tipis were mostly temporary structures used by plains nations who moved about frequently.

I find it very difficult to appreciate a joke that doesn't literally make sense. All the words have to be there.

There's a joke I found on an OKcupid quiz that can help illustrate up my sense of humor.
Person: "Too much pi leads to a large circumference!"
My (theoretical) Reponse: "Pi is an immutable constant."

I got the joke pretty much right away, but I didn't find it funny.

I only got it (right before someone explained it in the web) because I was reading it and saying it again and again in my head. If I were in the classroom and heard it from the other people... I definitely would not have gotten the joke.

maybe "brown chicken brown cow" sounds similar to "brown chick and brown cow".
i have learned that good looking girls are called "chicks" and fat women are sometimes called "cows". brown fat women maybe "sexier" to some than other animals in the barnyard.

although maybe "brown cow" is a corruption of "brow 'n cow (brow in cow)" (meaning stoop down to perform a some oral phallus activity). "cow" can mean to "submit and lower ones status of elevation", and if it is the brow that "cows", then the whole face below the brow must also cow since it is rigidly built with it's brow(s).

i think that such a tenuous solution to that "joke" is not rapidly obvious, so i know my pseudo analysis is wrong.

i never heard that "joke".
