[@therealwisemysticaltree]

-Hey dude! -what? -why did the chicken cross the road? -BILLY NO! -Brilliant question, let's find out why-

[@RafaelMunizYT]

call me insane but I will do it. manually. - why did the chicken cross the road? - cmon dude this joke is older than your mom - seriously, why did the chicken cross the road? - brilliant question. let's find out why: historically, the chicken crossed the road to get to the other side. has anybody ever laughed at that joke? why's it become so famous? and, for that matter, who cares? why would you wanna investigate why things are funny? as E. B. White said: "analyzing humor is like dissecting a frog: few people are interested and the frog dies". but I wanna dive into the guts of this chicken joke, because today it is so famous it's practically shorthand for comedy, and people frequently consider it either the worst joke of all time or the oldest joke... but neither of those is true. but first things first, the chicken joke isn't technically even a joke, it's an anti-joke. it's a joke about jokes. you see, we expect a joke to surprise us, to flip things around or use wordplay, but "to get to the other side" is just obvious, it's... mundane, which by itself can be pretty funny. to make this more clear let's take a look at anti-joke chicken: "what's blue and smells like red paint? blue paint". you see? you expect a typical jokey punchline, but instead what you get is... hilariously serious. anti-joke cat is another good one: "knock knock." "who's there?" "lettuce." "that's impossible."; "your momma is so fat, we are all extremely concerned for her health.". anti-jokes can also be used for psychological experiments - right at home. you may have heard of this one already, the "no soap, radio" joke. here's how it works: get a couple of your friends together and tell them to all laugh when you're done telling the joke, no matter what, then, go find a target who's not in on it and tell them some version of a joke like this: "two polar bears were sitting in a bathtub. the first one says: - pass the soap. the second one says: - no soap, radio. at this point you and your friends should start laughing uproariously, meaning the target has one of two choices - either be afraid of looking dumb and laugh along anyway or say they're confused, at which point you should tell them "what? you don't get it?" and keep laughing. you wait until the target gives into peer pressure and succumbs to mob mentality and joins, despite the fact that "no soap, radio" is actually nonsense. as for being the oldest joke in the book, "why did the chicken cross the road?" is far from it. it's only about 160 some odd years old. it first appeared in print in The Knickerbocker as a conundrum that really isn't one - an anti-joke. if you wanna look for the oldest joke ever to appear in print, we're going to have to go back 4,000 years to read some ancient sumarian proverbs. the joke is essentially a cautionary tale to never expect anything to be perfect. it goes like this: "something which has never occurred since time immemorial: a young woman did not fart in her husband's embrace". so... yeah, the earliest known joke is a joke about a woman farting in a guy's lap. so cool... all I'm sure of is that our proverbial chicken did not have agyrophobia. that's the fear of crossing streets. but maybe the chicken should have. I mean, crossing the road could be quite dangerous for a little bird, which leads us to a quite darker interpretation of the joke. maybe this chicken knew of the danger of crossing the road. maybe he knew what could happen. maybe he was sad or lonely or knew what his fate was, and so he decided to take control and end it himself and cross the road... to get to the other side. if you wanna continue being morbid, check out deathclock.com. answer a few questions and the site will generate a countdown of the number of seconds you likely have left to live. you can just sit there and watch them tick away. but let's get back to the joke. perhaps a better question than "why did the chicken cross the road?" is "why wouldn't chickens be crossing the road?". I mean, to be sure, the Earth is a big place and less than 1% of it is even paved, but there are quite a few chickens on Earth. to put this in perspective, there are about 500 million cats and, as far as we go, there are 7 billion humans. but chickens? there are 24 billion chickens. we're outnumbered more than 3 to 1. but if we cooked up every single chicken alive on Earth right now, we could fill enough KFC 16 piece buckets to form a stack of them going to the moon and back... three times. unbelievable, right? I mean, they all fit so nicely here on Earth's surface, walking around with their characteristically lean meat, which, because fat contributes so much more flavor to a piece of meat than the muscle does, may explain why chicken is such a great generic meat flavor and why so many other exotic meats we try later tend to taste like chicken. but let's get back to the question in this video's title. why did the chicken cross the road? well, to get to the other side, sure, but there are many different motivations a chicken could have for going to the other side. maybe it was looking for food, maybe it was being chased by a predator. what matters, though, is that we can never know because there is no chicken. it's purely hypothetical, as opposed to the equally famous "Mary Had a Little Lamb", in which the lamb, and Mary, were real people. Mary Sawyer was an actual student at The Redstone School in Massachusetts and one day her brother encouraged her to bring her lamb to school. her fellow students were amused, as was visiting student John Roulstone who wrote "Mary Had a Little Lamb". we have actual documentation of those real people and events, but this chicken never even really existed. so, asking why the chicken crossed the road is just like asking "why did the original writer decide that it should be a chicken crossing a road?" which means that the chicken crossed the road because some comedian in the 19th century decided that you would probably think about it too much, making the mundane "to get to the other side" answer quite surprising. to explain this, let's take a look at a computational neural explanation of humor. in order to effectively manage resources, our brains stay a few steps ahead of what we're hearing, estimating what kind of outcomes are possible. but when we discover that we're actually being told a joke, and none of our paths were the correct version of what was being told, all of that neural network energy needs to dissipate and according to some theorists, that energy moves into motor cortex, causing convulsions - laughter. unfortunately, our poor chicken friend doesn't illicit that response from us anymore because we've all heard the joke. we know what to expect when the joke begins. but we should be proud of our chicken friend and the unknown author who thought him up, because even though the joke is so famous it's no longer funny, even at a neurological level, it still stands as a testament to just how complicated and clever our comedy can be. keep laughing. and as always, thanks for watching. - 🗿

The joke is on you for thinking too hard about it And the neural network explanation perfectly explains why modern internet humor is funny. We have no idea what we're seeing, so we have to divert energy making us laugh.
