For a bunch of years in my 20s I worked as a sound tech in the entertainment dept. of a theme park. It was a lot like working in theater except it was in outdoor venues and there was funnel cake
I was just thinking about this one joke I saw play out very poorly
I was just thinking about this one joke I saw play out very poorly
Between shows, the actors, ushers, techs and such would hang out in this big trailer. It was this combo break room, green room, dressing rooms and offices. It was the one place to get out of the heat/cold and away from the massive crowds of people
We’re passing the time in there one day, trading jokes, and someone tells the following:
Knock knock
Who’s there?
Gestapo inspector
Gestap—
at this point, the teller lightly slaps the responder across the face and shouts
VE VILL ASK ZE QUESTIONS

This joke was a big hit [insert rimshot] and one actor, Josh, thought it was particularly hilarious.
The next person who walked into the trailer was gonna get told the joke and Josh was gonna tell it. He was so excited because it was very funny.
That’s when Dena walked in

Dena was a lead—a performer and also a supervisor—and she was a Disney princess. Very sweet, funny, very pretty, and generally game with whatever hijinks were going down. She was a fun hang and also serious about her job.
Everyone stood back to watch what was about to happen

With a gleam in his eye, Josh whipped around and almost yelled DENA DO YOU WANNA HEAR A JOKE
Dena’s like “sure” and Josh goes into it...knock knock...Gestapo inspector...
Dena gets “Ges—“ out before Josh lightly taps her cheek
And then the girl who was raised in Orange County jumped out

Dena reared back as if acting purely on instinct and layed an absolute haymaker of an open palmed slap across Josh’s stunned face. And she was yelling
SLAP _ME_ BITCH? SLAP _ME_ BITCH?!
SLAP _ME_ BITCH? SLAP _ME_ BITCH?!
Honestly it’s the best I have ever seen that joke told. I’m laughing now just thinking about it
For the rest of the season we kept asking Josh to go tell Dena another joke.
