Fallon torches Mike Pence’s painful try to inform a joke the place a canine will get shot(?!)

Mike Pence’s concept of a joke includes a automotive crash, a canine and a cow being euthanized, and a crash sufferer who does not wish to get shot by the responding cop. No, context does not assist in any respect right here.

The previous vice chairman unleashed his concept of a joke throughout a speech earlier within the week, and The Tonight Present host Jimmy Fallon spent a while interrogating that call on Friday’s episode. It’d shock you to be taught that Pence, whose pure look can finest be described as “stone-faced,’ does not have an ideal grasp on comedian timing.

It could possibly be a quirk of the best way The Tonight Present reduce up the video, however Pence’s rambling supply make it seem to be he is retelling a joke her heard as soon as at a celebration, however did not take the time to organize for a retelling; as a substitute, he is simply winging it. Content material is also a difficulty right here, because it’s laborious to search out laughter proper after you are informed a poor doggie with a damaged again obtained shot within the head.

I am gonna say it once more: Context does not assist right here within the slightest. Even the widely chill Fallon struggles to discover a response apart from “WTF???”
