Gorilla: Did you hear about the gorilla who escaped the zoo?
Zookeeper: No. I did not.
Gorilla: That is because I am a quiet gorilla.
[Muffled sounds of gorilla violence]
Explanation: This joke uses a combination of absurdity and surprise. It starts with the gorilla claiming to be quiet, setting up an innocent and calm expectation. The punchline, “Muffled sounds of gorilla violence,” completely contrasts this, humorously suggesting that the “quiet gorilla” is, in fact, about to engage in a sudden, chaotic outburst to escape the zoo. The unexpected shift from calm to violence creates a comedic surprise, making the joke amusingly absurd.
