Implying the cannibal is not a human, therefor the joke doesn't work. should be "two people enter a bar, one is a cannibal."


What? The joke works perfectly, doesn't it? Isn't the point that the cannibal isn't a human?

The cannibal could be a vampire, which is technically still human, so eat it... The human, I mean. Eat the human.

You missed the joke entirely. It's effective regardless of the species.

No, because the cannibal would need to be human too or it wouldn't make sense. If it were any other species, then it wouldn't care that human isn't served there.

No. The joke is that human isn't served there both as a patron or as a food item. If the cannibal isn't a human, like is implied to not be the case by specifying "a human and a," then it doesn't work.

Incorrect. Vampire cannibalism is feeding from other vampires, not regular humans.

Do you know the definition of the word "Cannibal?"


can·ni·bal
ˈkanəb(ə)l/
noun
a person who eats the flesh of other human beings.
"cannibal tribes"
synonyms: man-eater, people-eater; More
an animal that feeds on flesh of its own species.

cannibalplay
noun can·ni·bal \ˈka-nə-bəl\
Simple Definition of cannibal
Popularity: Bottom 30% of words
: a person who eats the flesh of human beings or an animal that eats its own kind

Nice try, but the only reason there's the distinction that you're trying to capitalize on is because there are idiots who don't think humans are animals.

I think everyone has misunderstood this joke on multiple levels and it has somehow still worked.

Edit: I actually misread the joke. If it was just a cannibal and no other creature with it, it would have been much better. But you are mistaken on me nitpicking anything.

But again, ad hominem is a fallacy.

Yes, it would've. Glad we got that sorted. Also didn't intend nitpicking. I was talking about how I thought you read it correctly and were capitalizing on the first part of the definition, "a person who eats the flesh of other human beings" over the second and more accurate half of "a creature that eats members of it's own species."
Not seeing what's ad hominem there. :/

Right but
A) The actual comment you quoted didn't have it in caps.
B) It was in a quote so changing it doesn't make sense to me. Did you change it to direct it towards sven? Because if so you should've removed to from the quotes to avoid this very confusion lol

The only thing I'm still confused about other than the capital "you" is why whizz thought the joke worked if the cannibal isn't human. :/

I assumed that cannibal just meant "eats their own kind". Therefore, I assumed the cannibal thought that the bar didn't serve his kind of "food", and therefore he should leave.
