A grasshopper walks into a bar and the bartender says ‘We have a drink named after you!’
So the grasshopper says, ‘You have a drink named Steve?’
Whatever you want, it can’t hear you now.
The joke “What do you call a dead polar bear? Whatever you want, it can’t hear you now” employs dark humor and plays on the typical structure of “What do you call” jokes, which usually lead to a pun or a clever play on words. In this case, the audience might expect a witty or punny name for a dead polar bear. Instead, the punchline takes a darker, more literal turn by stating that since the polar bear is dead, it can’t hear you, so you can call it whatever you want. The humor arises from subverting the audience’s expectations and the blunt, literal truth of the punchline.
