Long Joke

''Arright, arright. So there's this guy who goes to work, right? He goes up to his buddy and he goes, "Yo, you see the game last night?" Then his friend says, "No. You?" The guy looks down at the floor and he's like, "FfffffffFUCK, I forgot the game" in his head. So then he goes home and turns his TV on where the announcer says, "And we just" uhh "w-we just had the game on... this whole time... in cased you missed it. Which you didn't. Because it's still on." The guy gets on his couch and watches the game until his boss calls him to tell him he's fired for skipping his job. Months go by as the guy lives off his savings of $3.27, then his landlord throws him out on the street. Uhh... the guy struggles to find food that isn't covered in rats, so he gets mad and goes mad. Then, I dunno, he has this idea like creating a time machine to go back and tell his past self to not just fuck off from his job and act like a real, actual member of society for once. But then this somehow causes a time-travel paradox where there's just this endless army of guys and then everything''

The punchline is I have no life.

A girthy joke that takes pride in its length. Any joke that goes on for longer than most other jokes can be considered one of these. The punchline to a Long Joke might be how time consuming a single action might be, how long something can go on for, or how somebody is so stupid that it takes hours for them to understand one thing. Long Jokes are common when there's Runtime To Kill. The creators at this point are so exhausted by actual story advancement that they'll do whatever they can to keep things moving, even if it's nothing more than Time-Wasting Nonsense. Audience members are no fools, so they can quickly tell when a Long Joke is only there for fake substance. Even one Long Joke can be considered too many, making it unwise to play this UnTrash.
