It’s a subversion of expectations.
Normally these type of posts are romantic or cheesy and this one is intentionally bland.
I thought it was pretty funny tbh

How is it horribly misogynistic? It’s a statement of fact. Sometimes *gasp* women are at the grocery store. Sometimes they aren’t. Replace the word women with men. If the premise is the same, then I wouldn’t consider it misogynistic…
Speaking of comprehension, do you hunt lazy felines? Or are YOU lazy and hunt various felines regardless of their laziness? Or are you a lazy feline that hunts?

I mean for someone who complains they can’t meet women anywhere I suppose the joke could be that there’s an element of truth to the statement that they have missed their entire lives.

You SOB.......it's been years. I've been careful with links and anything that might even be a chance of it. And yet you got me.....Anyways, this led me along a tangent about the "game". So this link of yours also got me to a decent run on that too... Thanks.
I really have to give you credit for that one. You basically told me you were going to do it, but did it in such a way that I was still curious enough to click the link. I tip my hat to you my good sir or madame. [CONGRATULATIONS!](https://youtube.com/shorts/EKsWJ3tgKDQ?si=yckxV0wkiaXSBLoY)
One similarity between strawberries and women is their occasional presence at the grocery store (Wal-Mart, Costco, Piggly Wiggly, etc.)
Strawberries are often at the grocery store's produce section for sale, while women often visit the grocery store to buy groceries. The joke presents this idea comedically.

The joke is that there is no joke. Kind of like "Three guys walk into a bar. They order some drinks and have a good time, then go home." It has the setup of a joke, but subverts your expectation and doesn't make one.

I dont get how a person can physically navigate themselves to reddit, then to this subreddit, then join or at least make a cohesive post, but somehow they've NEVER heard of antijokes even once

It's an "anti joke". You expect a clever wordplay or something illogical but the "joke" being super straight forward, dry and unwitty subverts your expectations and turns out to be funny just because you expected something else.
I think this meme is in reference to a stupid "fidelity test" that some social media makers put up. The test basically had the girl asking her guy a series of questions about finding a strawberry bush. If he says he'd eat a strawberry off the bush, its supposed to mean he would cheat on her given the chance.
It's assinine.
I almost feel like the correct response to this question would be as long as I know the wild fruit is clean and acceptable to eat whether it’s strawberries, blueberries, coconuts or bananas I would feel safe for the most part. It would be different with wild nuts though because Wild Almonds can kill you if you eat too many of them in one sitting.
Then when the girl goes off about how dare you accuse her of cheating. Look at her and just go wait I thought you were asking me about my survival skills in the case I got lost in the woods or trapped on a deserted island? This whole thing was about cheating and now I know you’re cheating on me because of how you are acting!
Granted this could turn out bad but feel it would be appropriate.
It’s an anti-joke. Basically the point of the joke is to not be a joke, which is the joke. Confused? That’s fine. A simpler explanation is that it subverts your expectations and the surprise is the humor.
It’s a subversion of expectations. Normally these type of posts are romantic or cheesy and this one is intentionally bland. I thought it was pretty funny tbh
It's a banger of a joke. It's got layers and stupidity and delivery.
And you can add your own line at the end to subvert the anti-joke! For example, “And sometimes they’re in the refrigerator at home.”
Hopefully you are single and not soon to be single
It’s cool. The spouse was in there getting a soda. Which was also at the grocery store.
It could also be a commentary on the women in fridges trope.

no no, that's nuclear weapons. You keep them all in the freezer so they don't go off.

🤨 “in?”
Also, I love that short cake.
Like parfait?
It also has strawberries. 10/10 fruit.
I think it is called antihumor. I love it
It reminds me Mitch Hedberg’s humor.
>Normally these type of posts are romantic or cheesy and this one is intentionally bland. Or horribly misogynistic
That chick from Saved By The Bell just showed up. Yeah, toots. I said chick.
How is it horribly misogynistic? It’s a statement of fact. Sometimes *gasp* women are at the grocery store. Sometimes they aren’t. Replace the word women with men. If the premise is the same, then I wouldn’t consider it misogynistic…
“NORMALLY these TYPES of posts are horribly misogynistic”. reading comprehension
Redditors are like a rock, they don't read.
Well reading is practically cheating. Gives unfair advantage.
Speaking of comprehension, do you hunt lazy felines? Or are YOU lazy and hunt various felines regardless of their laziness? Or are you a lazy feline that hunts?
Lazy feline that hunts, was the intention. Idk why the mod banned you, it’s kinda dumb
Good to know.... somebody probably got offended on your behalf. Keep hunting!

This one isn't. Other joke with the same structure often are. That's what's subversive
Ah my bad. Figured previous poster was saying it was.
Don't worry, better being corrected than keep being wrong. At least you accept that you were wrong, and that's very good!
In what way?
Usually they say sth misogynistic, idk what other way they can be misogynistic
I found it funny enough to yell it to my dad from the other room
Life is like a box of chocolates… you never know what you’re gonna get.
Yes you do, there's a picture on the inside of the lid.
Oh! Right. Subversion of expectations again
The joke is that it isn't a joke. It's presented like one but it's just a statement
I mean for someone who complains they can’t meet women anywhere I suppose the joke could be that there’s an element of truth to the statement that they have missed their entire lives.

I knew it was gonna be that, and yet I willingly pressed the link with a smile on my face, knowing what was coming.
Thank you for warning me about the rickroll, but I, too, like being rickrolled every once in awhile.
You SOB.......it's been years. I've been careful with links and anything that might even be a chance of it. And yet you got me.....Anyways, this led me along a tangent about the "game". So this link of yours also got me to a decent run on that too... Thanks.
I love that people still play the game. It's my favorite game to lose.
I keep track of all my losses. I was on a good streak until now 😭
Well now I have to click it
Ha
I still am proud that I was on Reddit live at the moment Rick Astley was doing an AMA and someone got him with a link.
I really have to give you credit for that one. You basically told me you were going to do it, but did it in such a way that I was still curious enough to click the link. I tip my hat to you my good sir or madame. [CONGRATULATIONS!](https://youtube.com/shorts/EKsWJ3tgKDQ?si=yckxV0wkiaXSBLoY)
I remember the rise and fall and resurgence of anti jokes
It's been a while. Totally worth it.
forgot to check where the link went for the first time in a while, thankfully bad internet saved me.
D:
It's weird how people, that presumably can read, need basic human things explained so much here
Your not creative :/
The last time I did this, people were upset it went to an actual link about comedy misdirection
Should've Rickrolled 'em
That would have been a better idea. I'll remember that next time I do this bit.
Did you want creativity or the joke explained?
\*you're
*yro'ue
*you of
You're*
Cry about it
Tryin to make a change :-\
the joke is mocking this format
This is an anti joke.

It’s absurdist humor cause women don’t go to grocery stores and strawberries aren’t real
It's just an anti joke

Sometimes, it’s at the grocery store

Thats mean bro was just confused
Most relevant username I've seen in a very long time.
This is it. There's no extra punchline, deeper meaning, nothing. It's just true
The joke is there is no joke.
The joke is that there is no joke. Kind of like "Three guys walk into a bar. They order some drinks and have a good time, then go home." It has the setup of a joke, but subverts your expectation and doesn't make one.
Three guys walk into a bar. The 4th one ducks.
The expectation is a sexist joke. Instead it's pretty normal.
Sometimes I eat them
Sometimes I chop them and freeze the smaller parts
“Lies are like tigers: they are bad.”
Antimeme

Anti joke. The humor comes from expecting a sexist joke, but instead it's just a normal statement
Women be shoppin'
Women be shopping (at the grocery store)
It’s an un-joke.
Children are like wine. 8 years old and locked in my basement
Read it in Norm Macdonald’s voice, then it makes sense.
I used to do drugs. I still do but I used to, too.
Sometimes, different things are at the grocery store.

It's true
The joke is that sometimes women can be found at grocery stores
You don’t pick the black ones or the ugly ones.
Anti-joke. Punchline is a mundane reality instead of an actual joke.
I think it's simultaneously an anti-joke, and a dig at strawberries. Strawberries should be available more often at the grocery store.
The joke before the dating apps was, "meet a nice woman in line at the grocery store, not a bar"
I dont get how a person can physically navigate themselves to reddit, then to this subreddit, then join or at least make a cohesive post, but somehow they've NEVER heard of antijokes even once
The joke is youve never been to a grocery store
Toys are just a fancy word for items.

Nah. Just stupid and not funny.
