Man, if you thought the last one was a missed opportunity at a pun... just try and figure out what's going on with this garbage.
Why did they carve a big mouth into the pumpkin?
Silvia M.
You really have to wonder where this is going, right? The real reason - because you carve faces into pumpkins and the mouth is part of the face - clearly isn't the answer. It's gotta be a pun, right? "So he would look really gourd" or something terrible like that?
So he could scream and howl!
...what the fuck. Come on, Silvia M.! You cannot be serious with this shit!
Look. Screaming and howling is not something pumpkins do; strike one. "Scream and howl" is not any pumpkin-related play on words that I can see; strike two. And obviously it is not funny; strike three. That exclamation point is [sic], by the way. This joke is way too pleased with itself.
Honestly, just try to find something funny in that punchline, or at least some way it makes sense. Is the idea that they gave him a big mouth so he could let out his screams of anguish from having his flesh carved up with an enormous knife? Because if so, that is some twisted shit, Silvia M. Although I suppose failing to carve any mouth for the pumpkin, forcing him to linger in Harlan Ellison-esque torment, unable to vocalize the horrible pain, would be at least as sadistic in its own way. Still, I'm not pumpkin carving at Silvia M.'s house any time soon. Future serial killer in the making, people.
