So seven people got the joke but it had me totally beat. I stooped to AI to spell it out for me. 

 

 

 

**The joke is based on the Google “G” logo looking like a door with the letter D representing the doorbell.

 

It shows two possible placements of the “doorbell”:

 

  • Left image: the D is inside the outline of the “door” (the G).
  • Right image: the D is outside the outline of the “door.”

The humor comes from the fact that in real life, a doorbell belongs outside the door, where a visitor can reach it. So the right-hand version is the “correct” way to draw it.

 

It’s one of those very dry, nerdy visual jokes that personifies the Google “G” as a front door. There’s no deeper meaning or wordplay—it’s just a silly observation that once you see the “G” as a doorway, you start thinking about where the doorbell should go.

 

If you didn’t laugh, you’re not alone—it’s the kind of joke that appeals mostly to people who enjoy absurd or minimalist visual humor.

 

 

 

 

No, that's just total AI slop.

It's a visual joke.

 

The first part has a letter "D" inside a letter "G". i.e. D in G. Put those 4 letter into one word - Ding.

 

The second part has a letter "D" on top of a letter "G". i.e D on G. Dong.

 

Ding Dong. Doorbell.

AHHHHh! Thank you, Ding Dong. Now it makes perfect sense. Of course being female I also saw Dolce and Gabbana. 

 

So much for ChatGPT's explanation. Can’t be trusted.

I've just started watching YouTube clips of the BBC's Russia correspondant reading Russia's papers. Here's a joke from the last episode from one of the papers....

 

If there are six fingers it is AI.

 

If there are four fingers it a carpenter.

"I regret to say that we of the F.B.I. are powerless to act in cases of oral-genital intimacy, unless it has in some way obstructed interstate commerce." — J. Edgar Hoover

"Create a society that values material things above all else. Strip it of industry. Raise taxes for the poor and reduce them for the rich and for corporations. Prop up failed financial institutions with public money. Ask for more tax, while vastly reducing public services. Put adverts everywhere, regardless of people's ability to afford the things they advertise. Allow the cost of food and housing to eclipse people's ability to pay for them. Light blue touch paper." — Andrew Maxwell

But not that explicitly. Never mind, someone posted in the open after the "gotcha" moment.

Man goes to a female dentist 

 

After a quick look the dentists says "the tooth needs to be extracted, its too far gone."

 

He reluctantly agrees.

 

So she pulls out a syringe  and he says "I can not do needles, now way, not happening"

 

"Ok", she says, "we can use the gas"

 

He says "No way, that will make me feels as though I am being suffocated, I can not do masks"

 

She says "ok, can you do pills ?"

 

"Yes, pills are fine" he replied

 

So she pulls out a small pill bottle and gives him two small blue pills

 

After he takes them he asked "So what were those pills ?"

 

"Viagra" she replies

 

"I did not know viagra is a pain killer" he said surprised

 

"Its not" she says" It will just give you something to hold onto while I remove the tooth"
