This is called a Brick Joke, where an event disappears entirely early on, possibly with no punchline, only to appear much later on out of the blue as a punchline, subverting expectations at the beginning and the end. Usually multiple jokes may be said in the middle, it gets its name from its crudest form often involving a brick like this one with Burnie. You can look up some examples on TV Tropes, although warning that it might suck time out of you.
DuskyPredator in fact, I'm sure you can find brick jokes in some of Burnie's writing for red vs blue. Lopez and other characters or premises intentionally set up and then forgotten for a pay off later
It was a good joke. Sounds like the friends were the ones who weren't good. You're better off without them, you'll have more fun with us on TH-cam anyway. 😉
Does anyone remember those dumb jokes where it was like, "how do you put a giraffe in a fridge? You open the door, put it in, then close it. Now how do you put an elephant in a fridge? You open the door, take the giraffe out, put the elephant in, then close the door. The Lion King is holding an animal meeting and all the animals are there, except one, who? The elephant cause it's in the fridge. You need to cross a river that's home to at least 20 crocodiles and you have no boat. How do you cross? You swim, cause the crocodiles are at the meeting.
How do you know your fridge has 2 elephants in it? You can tell by the footprints in the butter. How do you know your fridge has 3 elephants in it? You can hear them giggling when the light goes out. How do you know your fridge has 4 elephants in it? The Mini is parked outside.
ThatAsianGuy yes! I loved that joke streak. I made up a part 5 several months ago. You need to get back home, so you need to cross the river again, but you died. How. The animal meeting ended so the crocodiles came back
Planes are a *lot* more sturdy and don't explosively decompress like that. Someone said a bullet hole made this loud, high pitched sucking noise like air being sucked through a tiny hole would but it's not a roar of wind as it tears the plane apart.
There were 3 friends called NoOne, Nobody and Amoron, they were walking down the street when NoOne fell down an open sewer and Nobody went for him, meanwhile Amoron saw a cop and ran screaming for help at him Amoron: Sir sir, please help me, NoOne fell in a hole and Nobody went for him Cop: Kid are you a moron or something? Amoron: Yes sir, pleased to meet you
A literal brick joke. Also, I wonder what the windspeed of an unladen parrot is if it can keep up with a commercial aircraft carrying a brick, (which I have no doubt it was gripping by the husk).
i love those joke, heres one guy 1: why did the chicken cross the road? guy 2: idk, why? guy 1: to go to the idiots house. knock knock guy 2: whos there? guy 1: the chiken
Here's one I remember from a long time ago: Q: How do you put a giraffe in a fridge? A: You open the fridge, put the giraffe in and close it. Q: How do you put an elephant in a fridge? A: You open the fridge, take out the giraffe, put the elephant in and close it. Q: The lion, king of beasts, is hosting a party and all the animals are invited. One animal doesn't make it. Which is it? A: The elephant. It's in the fridge. P.S: I had to look it up to remember it properly, also found another part that I didn't know... Q: You need to cross a river known to contain crocodiles. How do you do it? A: You swim across. The crocodiles are at the party.
I think Gus laughing his arse off already knowing the joke set it up even better for Gav and Barbara, they must have been as confused as I was why Burnie and Gus thought the brick joke was so funny and then it all comes together with the second joke.
tidusmi2 I think the point of the brick joke is that the kid threw the brick the highest, but since it didn't come down and make an imprint on the mud, he lost. idk if I'm reading too much into it, but I find the firstly joke as funny as the second one
CyanAnn Ha! No need to apologize. There just seems to be a lot of people not understanding the joke in the comments section. Yours was just the last of a dozen or so comments seemingly confused so I thought I'd explain it. Sorry if t seemed like I was targeting you specifically, more of a general purpose reply
Here's one I know, works best if you tell them about 30 minutes apart. How do you put a giraffe into a refrigerator? Open the door, put in the giraffe, and close the door. How do you put an elephant into a refrigerator? Open the refrigerator, take out the giraffe, put in the elephant and close the door. The lions, as king of the jungle, are hosting an animal conference. All the animals attend except for one. Which animal doesn't attend? The elephant. It's still in the refrigerator. You are being chased through the jungle by a group of natives trying to kill you. You come to a river with a sign that says WARNING: CROCODILES. How do you survive? You jump into the river and swim across. The crocodiles are still at the lions' animal meeting.
How do you kill a blue elephant? With a blue elephant gun. How do you kill a red elephant? Hold its nose until it turns blue, then shoot it with the blue elephant gun.
I have one: A plane has 500 bricks on it 1 brick falls off how many aw left? •499 What are the steps to putting a elephant in the fridge? •open the door, put it in, close the door What about a Giraffe? •take the elephant out, put the Giraffe in, close the door. A lion had a birthday party and all the animals go. What animal is not there? •the Giraffe in the fridge. A girl has to cross a crocodile infested lake and she can only swim. How she get a cross? •swims cause the crocodiles are at the lions birthday party. But she dies anyway. How? •a falling brick hit her in the head. Hope you use this for fun my dudes.
And after performing their different and creative talents, the agent says to the mother, "Hey, you're really good at balancing pianos on your head, but I don't see how that would profit either of us." He says to the father, "I find your chicken wrangling humorous, but unless we're in a third world country or on a chicken farm, I can't find that profiting us." He then goes to the two kids and says, "But you two have a fantastic act that I can see being performed on TV for millions! The way you set those curtains on fire with that homemade flamethrower was really cool!" And then the agency burned down, killing everyone inside. The end.
They have a community channel, don't they? With nothing but fan-made stuff, including animations. Just look up LetsPlay Community (or searching AH community gives the channel too)
I will so have to show this one to my friend. He absolutely loves Brick jokes! Very nice! You even included the airplane, which was present when one of the earliest brick jokes showed up in film. XD
I just love it how sometimes when they tell a joke you can hear, very quietly, that there's someone in the background just loosing it! It sometimes sounds like the guy needs help))
So there are these chinese men called Wu, Bu and, Fu and they wanted to change their names to live in the usa. Wu is now called Wuck, Bu is now called Buck and Fu...went back to China

There is a also a joke like this in Bojack Horseman with his Owl friend.

Ah, Ye Old "TV Tropes Will Ruin Your Life" Trope
You made this up Burnie just created the first one HE'S A GOD!
Tv tropes will ruin your life
I told my friends this joke today... I have no friends now
#Feelsbadman
It was a good joke. Sounds like the friends were the ones who weren't good. You're better off without them, you'll have more fun with us on TH-cam anyway. 😉
Henry Warmoth
One of us. One of us. One of us.
@@psi_vibes it's not easy being green....
I showed my family the joke and they didn’t think it was funny - nothing more awkward than being the only one laughing in the group...
I told these jokes to my friends... They just stared at me and called me a fucken idiot.
Jacob Bragg I agree.
Constantin Cristian ha ha yeah He is
Same...
i told my family this joke and me dad ruined it for me and told the punchline before i could finish the joke
They probably thought you were an idiot even before you told them those jokes.
"No the brick"
Brick? What bri...
OHHHH MY GODDD
Mookal H Brick? What brick? You see no brick and frankly it is hard to imagine there ever was a brick, in plain sight or otherwise.
Mookal H That's why it's called a Brick Joke
lol, i watched this live and i died of laughter!
Mookal H now I get it now
my question is how did a parrot hold a brick in it's mouth? :3
And this man wrote a comedy series that has been going on for..... 14 seasons?...
DavidELD they're anti jokes.
Aspiring Marauder Oh my god a literal brick joke
DavidELD explains a lot about the script right
same
Well, it hasn't been good for 9 seasons so...
This makes me understand why unexpected punch lines can be hilarious
Burnie went full dad.
And people say he's not a good person for the voice of Yang's dad.
Magic Man People say that?
Zexion Cornejo Yup, they say he sounds too young
Well he does have 2 sons, so it was only a matter of time. :P
Went full dad? Lol Burnie's been a full dad since his kids were born dude.
Does anyone remember those dumb jokes where it was like, "how do you put a giraffe in a fridge? You open the door, put it in, then close it.
Now how do you put an elephant in a fridge? You open the door, take the giraffe out, put the elephant in, then close the door.
The Lion King is holding an animal meeting and all the animals are there, except one, who? The elephant cause it's in the fridge.
You need to cross a river that's home to at least 20 crocodiles and you have no boat. How do you cross? You swim, cause the crocodiles are at the meeting.
"How many elephants can you fit in a mini? Four. Two in the front, two in the back"
How do you know your fridge has 2 elephants in it?
You can tell by the footprints in the butter.
How do you know your fridge has 3 elephants in it?
You can hear them giggling when the light goes out.
How do you know your fridge has 4 elephants in it?
The Mini is parked outside.
ThatAsianGuy yes! I loved that joke streak. I made up a part 5 several months ago. You need to get back home, so you need to cross the river again, but you died. How. The animal meeting ended so the crocodiles came back
Podracerzach that's not good
#JokeInstantlyStolen
This made me laugh harder than it should have.
GummiGamer gtfo
Julie Douglas that's awesome i was watching the series and in the recommendations in the video was this and its just been released 😂
yes
Best joke ever 😂
GummiGamer honestly this is pretty good
LMAOOO i knew they would make a RTAA out of that ahahaha
"opens the window of the plane"
sure why not xD
+Ren Liang he just did.
You literally can't because it'll rip a hole in the plane.
Well you can but they're old timey windows so you have to roll the windows down unfortunately the handles are only found in the flight deck.
Planes are a *lot* more sturdy and don't explosively decompress like that. Someone said a bullet hole made this loud, high pitched sucking noise like air being sucked through a tiny hole would but it's not a roar of wind as it tears the plane apart.
Maybe it was an old joke from back when planes had windows that could open
There were 3 friends called NoOne, Nobody and Amoron, they were walking down the street when NoOne fell down an open sewer and Nobody went for him, meanwhile Amoron saw a cop and ran screaming for help at him
Amoron: Sir sir, please help me, NoOne fell in a hole and Nobody went for him
Cop: Kid are you a moron or something?
Amoron: Yes sir, pleased to meet you

Burnie is no longer allowed to be mad at Barb for puns if this is the kind of joke he comes up with
He did say when he was a kid he loved telling these jokes.
You can tell that he absolutely find them funny now.
tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BrickJoke
These jokes were funnier than anything Barbara ever came up with.
this joke was funnier than any shitty pun could ever be!
A literal brick joke.
Also, I wonder what the windspeed of an unladen parrot is if it can keep up with a commercial aircraft carrying a brick, (which I have no doubt it was gripping by the husk).
I don't see how a parrot can carry a one pound brick, unless there were two parrots and they carried it together.
it's not a matter of gripping it by its husks. a 10 oz parrot cant carry a 1 lb brick.
An unladen parrot cannot carry any portion of a brick.
It has to be faster than the speed of push
Well that depends, is it a European or an African parrot?
i love those joke, heres one
guy 1: why did the chicken cross the road?
guy 2: idk, why?
guy 1: to go to the idiots house. knock knock
guy 2: whos there?
guy 1: the chiken
Guy 2: Welcome home
I like why did Susy fall off the swing?
She has no arms.
Why did Tommy drop his ice cream?
He was hit by the bus.
Knock knock
Who's there?
Not Susy.
Whos there?
Here's one I remember from a long time ago:
Q: How do you put a giraffe in a fridge?
A: You open the fridge, put the giraffe in and close it.
Q: How do you put an elephant in a fridge?
A: You open the fridge, take out the giraffe, put the elephant in and close it.
Q: The lion, king of beasts, is hosting a party and all the animals are invited. One animal doesn't make it. Which is it?
A: The elephant. It's in the fridge.
P.S: I had to look it up to remember it properly, also found another part that I didn't know...
Q: You need to cross a river known to contain crocodiles. How do you do it?
A: You swim across. The crocodiles are at the party.

"No the brick'' this ends my life
I think Gus laughing his arse off already knowing the joke set it up even better for Gav and Barbara, they must have been as confused as I was why Burnie and Gus thought the brick joke was so funny and then it all comes together with the second joke.
tidusmi2 thanks for describing the video now I don't need to watch it...
tidusmi2 I think the point of the brick joke is that the kid threw the brick the highest, but since it didn't come down and make an imprint on the mud, he lost. idk if I'm reading too much into it, but I find the firstly joke as funny as the second one
CyanAnn there is no first or second joke, it's all the same joke.
Kim Stolz I meant the first and second part of the joke. Sorry for the confusion!
CyanAnn Ha! No need to apologize. There just seems to be a lot of people not understanding the joke in the comments section. Yours was just the last of a dozen or so comments seemingly confused so I thought I'd explain it. Sorry if t seemed like I was targeting you specifically, more of a general purpose reply
My current favourite joke:
What did Batman say to Robin before they got in the car?
...
...
...
...
...
...
"Get in the car"
*Batmobile
That game grumps reference tho XD
2 unfunny jokes = 1 funny joke
BobyBoudin I didn't know that two wrongs make a right
It does, but only when it comes to comedy.
And Math.
Two halves make a whole.
( - ) ( - ) = +
This has honestly become one of my favourite jokes to tell
I laughed my ass off on the podcast when he told this joke lmao it's so stupid
EVOL SCAVENGER The jokes are so stupid and not funny, they become funny.
Hi, can you please tell me Which podcast was this ? And the minute ?. Thank you.
elji02 RT Podcast #395 (that's what it says in the description). I'm not sure what minute though...
elji02 its not on a podcast its on the postshow for 395 for first members only
Trevor Brown It actually is on a podcast. I'm not a first member ( I only watch their stuff on youtube) and I remember this moment in the RT podcast.
I laughed way harder than I probably should have
I didn't expect genuinely laughing at the end
Love that you can hear Burnie smiling
The longest most elaborate joke I ever heard
JmansAlive
look up "the coffin joke"
Look up the world's longest joke
Really? My uncle once told me a joke that was 30 minutes long.
Best Burnie joke of all time. Ever.
Here's one I know, works best if you tell them about 30 minutes apart.
How do you put a giraffe into a refrigerator?
Open the door, put in the giraffe, and close the door.
How do you put an elephant into a refrigerator?
Open the refrigerator, take out the giraffe, put in the elephant and close the door.
The lions, as king of the jungle, are hosting an animal conference. All the animals attend except for one. Which animal doesn't attend?
The elephant. It's still in the refrigerator.
You are being chased through the jungle by a group of natives trying to kill you. You come to a river with a sign that says WARNING: CROCODILES. How do you survive?
You jump into the river and swim across. The crocodiles are still at the lions' animal meeting.
sure
Ethan Roy 10/10 love them all
Trunks Gaming Thanks! :P
I always used to tell that one!
How do you kill a blue elephant?
With a blue elephant gun.
How do you kill a red elephant?
Hold its nose until it turns blue, then shoot it with the blue elephant gun.
I have one:
A plane has 500 bricks on it
1 brick falls off how many aw left?
•499
What are the steps to putting a elephant in the fridge?
•open the door, put it in, close the door
What about a Giraffe?
•take the elephant out, put the Giraffe in, close the door.
A lion had a birthday party and all the animals go.
What animal is not there?
•the Giraffe in the fridge.
A girl has to cross a crocodile infested lake and she can only swim. How she get a cross?
•swims cause the crocodiles are at the lions birthday party.
But she dies anyway. How?
•a falling brick hit her in the head.
Hope you use this for fun my dudes.
499
I got a joke
so a family walks into a talent agency....
s t o p
The answer is the casting couch
And after performing their different and creative talents, the agent says to the mother, "Hey, you're really good at balancing pianos on your head, but I don't see how that would profit either of us." He says to the father, "I find your chicken wrangling humorous, but unless we're in a third world country or on a chicken farm, I can't find that profiting us." He then goes to the two kids and says, "But you two have a fantastic act that I can see being performed on TV for millions! The way you set those curtains on fire with that homemade flamethrower was really cool!"
And then the agency burned down, killing everyone inside. The end.
barbaro267 that was genuinely hilarious
Jay Play Brandon Rogers?
is Burnie subtlety announcing he is going to be a dad (with a dad joke?)
I mean, he already has kids so...
Gav-Gav marriage #2?
He... Has kids....
2 years later and it's finally true
(Sees title) oh god why would you let burnie tell jokes
Titan Watch the podcast, they all cracked up.
Titan I mean, have you watched red vs blue?
I think this was funnier than the video itself
Yes and I swear it looks like a puma
Probably one of my favorite jokes. Every time I've told it the mix of confusion, bewilderment and slow understanding is priceless.
Burnie's literal Brick Joke XD I love it
Actually that is a pretty old joke and is actually the origin of the term "brick joke"
Kevin Gluys Huh, I didn't know that. Awesome!
This is how I found RT and lead me to the RWBY fandom
Wait till you find Red Vs. Blue, a much better show. And people like RWBY. So what does that tell you about RvB?
Can't believe the Seahawks didn't run the ball
lololol
SimpleMan that comment made me laugh more than the video
Beautiful, yet still tragic. Well played.
FaZe sucks bro
I can't believe Germany won 7-1
there is a book called lateral thinking puzzles written by Paul Sloan. you can find a written version of this puzzle in there ( or rather, the joke)
Rooster teeth should start accepting fanimations. As much as I love these and this style it would be fun to see other styles aswell!
i think ah has had a fanimation on their channel. it was pretty good
They have a community channel, don't they? With nothing but fan-made stuff, including animations.
Just look up LetsPlay Community (or searching AH community gives the channel too)
KuroroSama42 that's ah only tho, not rt. so an animation from the podcast wouldn't go there
+Ray Vun I've seen RT-related stuff on the LetsPlay Community channel...
They reshare a ton of fan animations they get on social media like Twitter.
Thank you Johnathan Floyd and Beth Mackenzie for making this an RTAA. :D
make yang tell this joke in the next seasson of rwby
chance houston Actually Taiyang should tell the joke.
but it's not punny
At least we know what happened to the brick.
TheS1E2A3L4 but what happened to the cigar?
Ryan McEntire that's in the planes turbine.
Ryan McEntire it landed 5 feet into the mud
I love opening the window on a plane when the cabin is pressurized and it's flying 30k-ish feet in the air. The breeze is so nice.
broke down laughing in the parking lot the first time I heard that.
Burnie for president.
i guess you could say he's...
burnie sanders.
ok you can shoot me
༼ຈل͜ຈ༽_•︻̷┻̿═━一 ヽ༼◐ل͜◑༽ﾉ
Legends say the brick is still in the air
Jerome nah the bird got it
Jerome The brick is ryan
Ryan "brick" Haywo-
Good thing the parrot didn't crash and _burn_.
Allie-RX God dammit, Barb
"Birdie no!!!"
FEEL THE BERN
That probably would have made more sense if his name actually had an E in the middle of it. This Vic's Jingle all over again...
I love this joke so much and I love telling it. Just the reaction to "no the brick" is priceless everytime.
there are brick jokes
then there are _literal_ brick jokes.
this is where the name 'brick joke' came from so it makes sense
And he was the co-creator of RvB?
Mega Chopsticks I thought it was great
He was the lead writer for most seasons lol
He is Church.
And Lopez
And Vic
I think Burnie just dethroned Barb.
I dont think its possible to usurp Barb
usurp. never heard of that, and im too lazy to look it up, but i trust you. i learned a new word today.
Kainoa Kihano-Yoshimura you should watch Game of Thrones
I will so have to show this one to my friend. He absolutely loves Brick jokes! Very nice! You even included the airplane, which was present when one of the earliest brick jokes showed up in film. XD
That was worse than any pun barb could come up with.
GOD DAMMIT BURNS!
3 years later, this is still the funniest joke ever!
Q: Why did Sally fall off the swing?
A: She had no arms.
Knock knock.
Who's there?
Not Sally.
What did Sally get for Christmas?
Dunno, she hasn't opened them yet
Glathir OMG! That's the best add on to that joke!
I'm pretty sure 90% of what makes this funny to me is the way Burnie tells the story.
I think I remember a similar joke in Bojack Horseman
Yeah, the bag of mulch joke.
the concrete bag or whatever yeah
ahh was it mulch? been a while haha
Wanda's jokes. God those were awful. :)
This one feels like is less less of a wind up but yea that was my first thought
even a few years later this joke is hilarious. I'm dying form a lack of air here laughing hysterically.
To quote Quicksilver..."didn't see that coming".
I loved this pair of jokes so much. Great stuff Burns, great stuff.
Why did everyone switch seats between jokes? It hurts my brain!
I'm confused as well. why did Gus switch to the far right?
It's the Reagan/Trump effect.
I've watched all of the RTAAs and I get so excited every time another one comes out because I've completely depleted TH-cam of its content 😂
...Seriously? NOBODY laughed at that ending? NOBODY?!
i heard Patrick laugh in the booth
Gavin Laughed , the first chuckle you hear was him
I think they were just trying to comprehend what Burnie did to them for the first few seconds.
Me and my friend lost it at that part.
I tell this joke all the time
So glad I refound my this video
I think I laughed after an awkward amount if time
I've been waiting for this to be animated for months
The Animated Adventure I've been waiting for (And the best part of that clip show podcast)
The way he said "No the brick, thank you everybody." and then walked away had me dying
I've got a joke:
So three men walked into a bar, yeah?
I ducked in time.
My favorite part about this whole joke, is how that's not a parrot
Oh good lord. I was waiting for these to show up.
I'M SO GLAD THIS GOT ANIMATED. THIS IS MY FAVORITE JOKE
The real joke is the look on the face of whoever hears these jokes.
The intro is just about perfectly in-sync with Bernie talking. Nice!
I was not expecting that. :D
I just love it how sometimes when they tell a joke you can hear, very quietly, that there's someone in the background just loosing it! It sometimes sounds like the guy needs help))
Theres a similar joke on a bojack horseman. Reminded me of this story as soon as I saw it.
My friend showed this to me today and I lost it at the end. Like crying tears and laughing so hard.
I knew both stories would be linked hahaha
His delivery of this entire joke sold it for me
What's sadder than burnie is going full dad.... me telling my dad this joke and instantly regretting it
i dont know why i love that joke, the way he said then left was my favorite
Why did Sally fall off the swings?
She's got no arms!
Knock knock.
Who's there?
Not Sally.
Turnt SNACO what did Sally get for Christmas? Socks.
Just kidding. She hasn't opened her present yet
Why did sally drop her ice cream?
Because she got hit by a bus
Wait until Sally gets robot arms...then she's gettin' revenge on everyone who dared to joke about her!
hParkerr AHHHHHHH I LOVE 😂
That was beautiful, man, truly beautiful.
The good old brick jock!
I'm at podcast 53 I'm glad that burnie still does the podcast, him and Matt are my favourite
Why did I laugh so hard?
Skater Roni I know right
Days like this, I'm so happy I found Rooster Teeth
I’ve told this joke so many times. It’s gotten mixed reviews lol
This is my favorite thing Burnie has ever said. It's my favorite now.
The best joke
PinkPlayer503 of all time.
ever
I legitimately love this, and have been telling this to everyone I can.
Better than the marvel cinematic universe
Quite literally the best joke I've heard in months.
I just need to sit down for a bit and reflect on how stupid that was.
This joke explains so much about Burnie's writing style
So there are these chinese men called Wu, Bu and, Fu and they wanted to change their names to live in the usa. Wu is now called Wuck, Bu is now called Buck and Fu...went back to China
i AM SO GLAD THIS IS AN RTAA!
I want a refund.
When I first heard this on the podcast I was actually in tears. I've never found a joke so funny.
Jason Kuller: Goodbye Yellow Brick Joke
^HBO Stand up special
Joke is pretty much the same
Please someone recognize what I'm talking about
god damn, i really wish i could, but i have no idea what you're talking about. i'll give you a laugh anyways though... hahaha! i totally got that!
Kainoa Kihano-Yoshimura it's a comedy special that runs on hbo from the late 90's the the singular joke is woven throughout the story of his parents
I'm so happy this became an animation.
