Humor Template 3: How Many… Lightbulb

December 15, 2024

I was put in mind of this by a recent comic strip: “How many paranoids does it take to change  a lightbulb? Who wants to know!”

My personal favorite "How many therapists does it take to change a lightbulb? One, but the bulb has to really want to change."

There are literally hundreds of these. The format is seemingly simple, but it’s at its best when it makes fun of a stereotype.

Here’s my attempt at a new one.

“How many nine-inch pianists … none. He misunderstood you and tried to have sex in a lightbulb.”(requires knowledge of an obscure joke)

It's "How many therapists does it take to CHANGE a light bulb?" Otherwise, the punchline doesn't make sense.
