Heh!

This joke is so old I can’t help but wonder if there’s a layer of irony I’m missing; or perhaps it’s a super secret coded message to some one in the author’s or artist’s family or circle of friends? If WYSIWYG, I’m kind of stunned. B.C. rarely misses for me, and never by this much.

The whole point IS that it’s an old and not too funny joke. The point is that the joke was old and not too funny when cavemen were around. Another cartoonist – maybe the one at “Non Sequitur” – would have shown two fish transitioning to air-breathers and written the joke the exact same way; the point being that that it was old and not too funny even before the cavemen. It is not lazy!

Sad to see a strip re-use an old joke hoping that the millions of readers who read it haven’t heard the joke before…

Even old jokes (and well-known ones) are often new to someone. If they don’t get retold at some point, they will die out. (Some of them may deserve to die out, but that also is a subjective issue.) Besides, the light bulb jokes are often used as a springboard (as was evidenced here) to come up with new variations.
