He looks even paler than undead.
His fangs are chattering from the chills!
If he’s coffin.
The joke “How can you tell if a vampire is sick? If he’s coffin,” is a play on words, specifically a pun between “coffin” and “coughing.” Vampires, as popularly depicted in folklore and literature, are known to rest in coffins. The setup of the joke prompts the audience to think about typical vampire traits or behaviors. The punchline, however, cleverly redirects the focus from “coffin” as a resting place to the action of “coughing” as an indicator of illness.
