To kill a joke with a sledgehammer. Someone tells a joke, and then everyone else keeps adding stupid stuff until it’s just a bunch of nonsense.
My uncle told a joke about dogs, and now it’s about dogs, cats, and why the moon is made of cheese.
The class laughed once, then we all just added 10 more layers to the joke until it was just chaos.
I told a joke about pizza, and now it’s about pizza, aliens, and why the president eats cereal for dinner.
