I don’t really have much to add but feel compelled to say that I really enjoy this type of comedy. Maybe there is already a name for it but I think of it as observational absurdism, or Incorrect Shower Thoughts.
I rarely laugh out loud at it, but it makes me smile extra big to consider it.
I love the idea of someone making a remark based on an absurdly incorrect observation or premise, and as a bonus, this type of comedy rarely has a “target”: it isn’t punch down or up. It’s punching itself if anything.
Anyway, just saying.
Dad jokes? I’m no humourologist, but if this isn’t dad jokes, they are probably related to each other somehow.
There is a certain wink at the camera implied in most dad jokes (at least in this dad’s) that I think is replaced with seeming earnestness in this example and in the vein that I’m thinking, but maybe I’m quibbling because I don’t want to have just “reinvented” dad jokes in my comment.
It’s cute to me because it’s similar to child logic.
look at all those chickens

I recommend old episodes of Burns and Allen. Gracie Allen was a master at this kind of humor
In every bit of comedy, there’s almost always something who is the foil of the joke. And in these kinds of jokes, it’s the original poster being confidently incorrect.
That’s how I see it anyway.
Literally took me a while to realise it’s the same image
The joke is that the font is called impact.
I got that, I’m saying the visual connotations I have of each font literally warped my perception of each crater.
That’s the best joke I’ve ever heard
I’m more impressed that they built the visitor center there, knowing that people would want to come and see the meteor when it landed
lolwut they knew exactly where it was going to hit well in advance and set up shop right next to it to be the first ones there luck had fuckall to do with it lol
Astronomers are excellent at math, afterall!
Meteorite crater was an inside job
Direct hit on whatever it was the Visitor Centre for, though.
Are you certain it wasn’t hit and now it’s just smaller?
We always joked about how wild it was that the meteor just barely missed the highway out there
I have a friend who needs to get a flight back home from there in a few days or they will die. Can anyone give them a ride?
Is your friend allowed to poop for the next 3 days?
Where is this
It’s really close to the petrified forest and painted desert which are some of the coolest stuff I’ve seen. And it’s an easy stop on a trip from Albuquerque to the grand canyon
The universe, and especially the earth, were clearly intelligently created with humans in mind!
