There is a vast supply ofFar Sidecartoons that expand upon popular jokes that most readers should be familiar with.
9"You Crossed The Road Just to Get to The Other Side?"
To get to the other side.
Gary Larson successfully uses that phrase’s vague resolution to his advantage in this cartoon.
8"Sure - But Can You Make Him Drink?"
“Larson combines two popular lines in one comic, making them both funnier than ever before.
This horse has indeed walked into a bar, though he may not be willing to drink.
7"It’s Genghis Khan!
Made You Look.”
Twosoldiers stand guard, and one suddenly announces that he sees Genghis Khan approaching.
His companion looks over, and he then says,“Made you look.”
For instance, many may recall the “Chuck Norris” jokes that once took the world by storm.
Another popular target is Harry Houdini, a well-known stunt performer who specialized in escaping from elaborate traps.
Plenty of people have made Houdini jokes, butThe Far Side’s might be the best.
Here,The Far Sideplays with that idea by turning a common phrase into a truly wild joke.
Two witches are seated together, and hilarity ensues as one realizes that the other is pregnant.
3"Here’s One of the Mysteries of the Universe …
Which Came First?"
In fact, they’re also the subject of another widely popular joke.
Which came first?"
2"Anyone See What Happened Here?"
A sheriff then arrives and asks,“Anyone see what happened here?”
This comic masterfully asks the age-old question in a brand-new way, as the mystery deepens.
Then, the following is written beneath that title:“Why do you need a reason?”
Instead of providing his own cheeky answer, Larson expands upon the actual punchline.
