How would you explain a joke? (Uh oh! better run)
December 20, 2013 2:38 am at 2:38 am #1029207☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantWhat would be the point?
December 20, 2013 3:30 am at 3:30 am #1029208HaLeiViParticipantBy killing it.
December 20, 2013 5:10 am at 5:10 am #1029209Little FroggieMemberNo one?!?
OK, I’ll go with mesiras nefesh.
Because explaining a joke is like dissecting a frog.
December 20, 2013 5:56 am at 5:56 am #1029210WIYMemberWe have a drunk frog on our hands.
December 20, 2013 6:56 am at 6:56 am #1029211HaLeiViParticipantOh. Hilarious! I didn’t know it’s that famous.
December 20, 2013 7:06 am at 7:06 am #1029212☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantI’m lost.
December 20, 2013 9:56 am at 9:56 am #1029213LevAryehMemberThe original quote, from E. B. White: “Humor can be dissected, as a frog can, but the thing dies in the process and the innards are discouraging to any but the pure scientific mind.”
December 20, 2013 11:19 am at 11:19 am #1029214mobicoParticipantSo, to recap – one explains a joke by croaking?
December 20, 2013 2:04 pm at 2:04 pm #1029215☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantThank you LAB. Now I’m ROTFL. Did I just disprove Messrs. White and Froggie?
(I’m still wondering how a “how” question got answered by a “because”.
December 20, 2013 2:27 pm at 2:27 pm #1029216streekgeekParticipantPlease don’t explain jokes here. All violators will be toad.

December 20, 2013 3:38 pm at 3:38 pm #1029219TheGoqParticipantStop making fun of this thread! it is not wartless and neither is little froggie!!
December 20, 2013 4:44 pm at 4:44 pm #1029220Little FroggieMemberActually he is quoted by saying “Explaining a joke is like dissecting a frog. You understand it better but the …” (can’t get myself to write out such gory, morbid thoughts) “…in the process.”
Good to know some here are actually on the ball.
December 21, 2013 11:00 pm at 11:00 pm #1029221LevAryehMemberI’ve heard both versions. The one I posted is the way it was written by him in Some Remarks on Humor, in the introduction.
December 22, 2013 1:49 am at 1:49 am #1029222oomisParticipantIf you need to explain it, it probably was not all that funny.

December 23, 2013 4:48 am at 4:48 am #1029224ronrsrMemberFrogs say, “Time’s fun when you’re having flies.”
August 19, 2014 4:27 pm at 4:27 pm #1029225streekgeekParticipantThis whole thread can be summed up in one word:
Toad-che`
