Wrapper 23: Which was worse, the chicken or the egg

33. Mike C., Mitchell, SD

What did the little boy tell the game warden?

"Say, this seems like an awfully specific, contrived setup for a two-line joke."

33. His dad was in the kitchen poaching eggs!

God. Again, this strikes me as a little too sophisticated for an audience of what, nine-year-olds? You have to know that "poaching eggs" is a thing, you have to know what a game warden is, and you have to know the other definition of poaching! And in fact, the very premise of the joke is based around a kid not knowing both definitions. The perfect Laffy Taffy wrapper joke would be uncomplicated (because there just isn't enough room) and funny. This one is overly complicated and still manages to be eyeroll-inducingly dumb.

What do you call a chicken crossing the road?

Another twist on the "classic" chicken-crossing-the-road joke. Where could this be going, I wonder...

34. Poultry in motion.

Well, could be worse. It's a groaner of a pun and rests on an idiom that I would suggest is not exactly the most common there is, but it's at least mildly clever and does a good job of switching between (relative) synonyms between the setup and punchline.
