The Angriest Rice Cooker Director’s Cut 18–On wordplay
The premise for this one was basically just lifted from this Daily Dinosaur Comic, only applied to a joke bumper sticker. Daily Dinosaur is really about as good at anti-humor as anyone I’ve ever read. The punchline is a abridged version of a dictionary definition. The addition of sex was purely thanks to the wonders of English morphology, I barely did anything at all.
It helps that the original “joke” (which I originally saw in bumper sticker form) is unusually dumb. What are we supposed to think “Con”gress means? To move backwards? To not move at all? I think it would work better with a different summary for “progress.” It seems to me that the key to the joke is that congress is bad and progress is good, but the summary “to move forwards” does not (to my ear) convey the positive connotations of the word “progress.”
In conclusion, words are funny and I like anti-humor
