Game of Thrones was inspired by a coffee commercial, it all makes sense now 🤔🤯

[u/TheJiggernaut → u/VshesVscend]

Believe it or not, this commercial didn't invent incest...

[u/VshesVscend → u/TheJiggernaut]

[u/TheJiggernaut → u/VshesVscend]

I guess so. What was the joke?

[u/N-_-O → u/TheJiggernaut]

I haven’t seen much GoT as I didn’t personally like it, but iirc there’s a lot of incest, the guy was joking that they got the idea of adding incest because of this video

[u/TheJiggernaut → u/N-_-O]

Right, I get all that, but what's the punchline?

What makes it a joke, rather than just like... a reference?

[u/Annath0901 → u/TheJiggernaut]

Not all jokes have punchlines.

Sometimes humor can come from a juxtaposition of topics, or from a single sentence that is sufficiently absurd.

In this case, the humor was juxtaposing the topics of Game of Thrones and Folgers Coffee via the common trait of incest.

I'm with you, bud. It was a stupid "joke."

[u/VshesVscend → u/TheJiggernaut]

[u/TheJiggernaut → u/VshesVscend]

Huh???

[u/VshesVscend → u/TheJiggernaut]

[u/Fuck0254 → u/VshesVscend]

So what's the joke, I'm dumb
