I actually heard it for the first time today and I have to admit I was baffled. I didnt understand the joke, I was lost on the first line, and by the end I wanted to be sick.
The person telling me the joke was in stitches as was some of my other friends that I never thought in a million years would have laughed at that.
So can someone please tell me why and how it is so funny.

It's more to do with the obscenity of the joke rather than the supposedly weak/inappropriate punchline....anything goes really..the ruder the better.

Probably if you saw the movie "The Aristocrats" you'd understand. The whole point is to be obscene and shocking, as a contest for a comedians joke telling skills, actually it's even a bluff, almost no comedian tells it in public, it's like an in-joke among comics. After hearing the joke several times the shock value kind of wears off, and it becomes a contest in originality and inflection.

the foremost to this shaggy dog tale is to be as thoroughly crude and repulsive as available. the factor is for somebody telling the shaggy dog tale frequently is telling the shaggy dog tale to others that have heard the shaggy dog tale previously, so the teller is attempting back up with much extra extreme situations as area of the overall performance. (i'm purposely unlikely into factor - in case you have heard the shaggy dog tale, you realize what i'm speaking approximately.) in case you get a gamble, there's a video the place one among those comedians are retelling the shaggy dog tale, and you're able to be able to work out the variances on the type. Oh, and of direction, being attentive to Aristocratic habit makes the punchline extra poignant. bear in mind, it incredibly is no longer the shaggy dog tale itself, it incredibly is interior the telling. and frequently is going extra helpful with others that have heard it who can get exhilaration from your spin on it.

I think the joke is supposed to be the juxtaposition of the very sweet family with the posh name and complete vulgarity ... but i agree, it doesn't really make me laugh.
