Sarcasm is the lowest form of wit, but the highest form of intelligence.
I dunno Oscar, I think we can and do have worse! Saying "Gesundheit!" after someone uses an obscure word, for example. Or deliberately mispronouncing names like 'M. Night Shyamalan' or 'Benedict Cumberbatch'. What else you got, SE++?
(To be clear, I'm talking 'low' in terms of structure, here, rather than level of cruelty or even how funny the joke is. Perhaps a good rule of thumb is 'How easily could an AI be trained to make new examples of the wit-form with human-equivalent timing and execution?')
Your mom is a lower form of wit than sarcasm!
This is simultaneously really dumb and really clever. You have created a joke paradox. A zingularity, if you will.
What a fantastic way to describe how I try to craft my humor. Thank you.
I can't stand overly long jokes. Jokes can be lengthy, but someone perpetuating the bit to annoy others or "that's what makes it funny" just becomes insufferable.
Like, I find Elliot Kalan on The Flop House funny, but I have never appreciated a skip button more.
Everybody pretend I had the patience to put in a shaggy dog joke here, I might come back to it later.
Oh, hey, there's another one. Gesturing in the general direction of a joke without following through.
I used to have a coworker who would do that. They'd always come up with like the first component of a decent joke and then just say it out loud like making the rest of us do all the work was worth a chuckle.
Edit: this turned out way too long, so spoiler for anyone who doesn't want to read the whole thing.
Seriously, someone else do the shaggy dog joke, I need to go make lunch.
i once went to a massive, very fancy modern art gallery showing with just some of the coolest mind fucky stuff ever and right in the middle of a wall full of pictures of just riotous color the dude had drawn a super realistic Dickbutt and framed it.
I've always felt that mispronouncing/spelling Benedict Cumberbatch is a weird one, not because I think there's anything lesser about the humor but just because saying or spelling Benedict Cumberbatch is generally amusing enough to me that any variants end up being less funny.
Okay, but I love this in reverse. It's rare that someone sets it up for you AND you recognize it and have an opportunity to deliver.

I still laugh reading Bandersnatch Cucumberpatch so they both work.
When you ask the teacher to go to the bathroom and they respond "I don't know, can you?"
Like fuck off, you know what I mean and you know I have to ask permission. I swear if I ever got to redo my high school years I'd just walk right out of the room if asked that. Cause if you're going to mock me when I ask to use a bodily function, I just wont bother asking.
When a teacher pulled that on a kid in my class in...third grade? I think? He just pissed his pants and went, "Yep!" and the teacher got mad at him.
I doubt she ever did that shit again, though.

The ultimate flex would be responding to that by pissing your pants.
Humor can be dissected as a frog can, but dies in the process.

In high school I ate an entire bottle of gummy vitamins and then had really bad face flushing and passed out in the bathroom (I am not especially smart. I am now realizing that.) and I didn't ask. I pretty much yelled I was going to shit myself and bolted.
No one checked on me! I was fiiiiinnnne, though. The tile was cooooool.

When kids threaten to piss their pants I always call them out on it and remind them that no one will remember me for not letting them go to the bathroom, but everyone will remember them as the fourteen year old that peed themselves in a classroom.

No one has called my bluff on it though.
In 6th grade I had a teacher who refused to let anyone go to the bathroom and I shit my pants. I hid it by trying to find the smell as well.

I am the stage.
Personally I don’t think it works without the comic.
But I think of the whole comic literally every time I see it, and it’s funny every time.
That was magnificent and thank you for bringing it into my life.

So maybe let kids go to the bathroom.
