      A better joke would be if there was some sort of double meaning that the other order of words had

      Yeah but the subverted expectation actually has to make sense with some double meaning or unintended logical resul. If it doesn’t then nothing was subverted and no such joke occurred.

      That’s what they’re asking about.

        No it doesn’t. 😊

        The outcome can be total nonsense and it still subverts the expectation that 1) you get tea, 2) the outcome makes sense.

        If they had available footage of a stream of puppies being forcefully ejected from the replicator, that would also work.

        But nothing else. Only the explosion and the puppy hose work.

          OK. So, let’s just assume, just theoretically, someone in your future let’s you know you don’t have a great sense of humor, feel free to come back and read those comments again.

              I never said I don’t get it, just implied it isn’t funny. And it obviously isn’t to many people here judging by the votes.

              By using fancy terms and feeling the need to link an explanation (the link is broken, by the way) you now give it a self-opinionated flair. Maybe you’re the weird one.

                You think non-sequiter is a fancy term?

                I’m sorry that I explained a joke to someone who said they didn’t get it.

                I suppose the logical thing to do if you don’t think a joke is funny is to complain about it in the comments though, particularly at people who didn’t make the joke who just explained it to someone else.

                There’s the fixed link. Not sure why the encoding went funky.

          I’ve seen every episode countless times. My reaction to this was “huh?”

          Jokes need to make sense in context, or else they’re just nonsensical. That is how humor works. This does not work.

          I’m sure OP has plenty of other good ones, but this one didn’t land. Just like the Enterprise!

            It’s okay to not find a joke funny, but jokes also don’t have to make sense. Sometimes the nonsense or silliness of it is what makes it funny.
