I must be dumb because I look at every single one of these and I haven't seen one that is even slightly funny
highenergyphysics@lemmy.world · 24 pts · 2y
It’s boomer humor, but without the hate
The entire joke is that the boxes should have washed up before the stranded person died
I remember these being pretty funny as a kid which explains the lead addled mental state of Gary’s audience at the time

Tf are you talking about? I'm 40 and grew up with these with younger kids doing the same well into our childhoods.

Irony is dead!

Maybe the joke is the time between ordering and delivery? I don't really get it
sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works · 22 pts · 2y
Nah, just raw irony.

This one is kind of sad!

Kind of a dark one for today.

Isn't it ironic, don't you think?

Or to the educated, coincidental.

Sadly unironic that the ghost writer (Max Martin, probably) for the song used the word incorrectly.

Is the joke that they got there too late..?
agent_flounder@lemmy.world · 9 pts · 2y
Yup

Still no gas. Should be a sailboat kit.

Box says gas included. Gary thinks of everything
grayman@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y
Oh gee... Underwater.

Maybe the gas is in a sealed container and for good measure is located in the top part of the box.
Wait, are we arguing about a 35 year-old unfunny comic? Here we are
grayman@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y
To be fair, it was funny to me 35 years ago. I guess I still look at them for nostalgia. I had shirts with prints of the comics! "Pigeon: Poopus Monumentous" was my favorite.

Fair enough!

He even thought of going underground as soon as technology developed, kinda like the Unabomber.

When you sign up for free mental healthcare on a non-emergency basis

A bit depressing for a comedy comic...
