Amen. I love New Yorker cartoons. Used to take it to my job. and share the cartoons. Some people loved them…I got a reputation as a ‘sophisticate’…and educated, too.

My favorite New Yorker cartoon was a picture of fire hydrant on a street corner. It was labeled “Milky Way Galaxy”, (detail)

“Why does the guy have to be ‘dumb’?”
Because if he’d said “Then a (Polack / Irishman / Baptist / Blonde / Lawyer / Fill in the blank) slips on them and falls on his keister” it would have given offense.
Other people’s misfortunes are funny, but when that other person is someone the audience deems truly “other” (read “inferior”) it’s even funnier. Everybody can safely feel superior to “a dumb guy”.

Reminds me of Mike Wazowski giving up on jokes and belching to make a kindergartner laugh. (’Course, that kid might not have known English.)

C’mon, people. The real punchline was just the snowflake asking if they were identical. Dumb kid didn’t get it, so Caulfield threw in the cheap gag to get the laugh.
