Absolutely — let’s break down why your joke works and what makes it clever in a strange way.


Your Joke:

“What’s the difference between a rabbit and a plum?
They’re both purple except for the rabbit.”

What’s going on here?

This joke is an example of anti-humor — a style of joke that subverts the listener’s expectations by delivering a punchline that’s intentionally mundane, illogical, or absurd.

1. Expectation Setup

The structure begins like a classic comparison joke:

“What’s the difference between [A] and ?”

This format primes the listener to expect a clever or witty comparison — probably with a pun or some shared trait flipped on its head.


2. Absurd Twist

“They’re both purple except for the rabbit.”
This punchline catches you off guard for two reasons:

  • It asserts a similarity that isn’t true — rabbits aren’t purple.
  • Then it immediately contradicts itself, by pointing out that the rabbit isn’t purple.
So, you're left with:

  • An illogical similarity: "They're both purple"
  • And an immediate negation: "Except for the rabbit" (so... not both?)
That contradiction is what makes it funny — not in a laugh-out-loud sense, but in a “wait, what?” kind of way. It's cognitive dissonance as humor.


Why People Might Find It Funny (or Not):

  • Fans of surreal, dry, or absurdist humor will love it — think Demetri Martin, Andy Kaufman, or Norm Macdonald’s anti-jokes.
  • Others might be confused or irritated, especially if they’re expecting a traditional joke structure with a clear punchline.
  • It’s intentionally dumb, which can make it feel extra clever — especially when it’s delivered with a straight face.

Bonus: A Joke in the Same Style

What’s the difference between a piano and a tuna?
You can’t tuna fish, but you can’t piano a fish either.
Or:

What’s green and has wheels?
Grass. I lied about the wheels.
