      They did a lot of retail gags. Returning the jacket out of spite. Removing the desiccates from the clothes

      It was a pretty good introduction to meta anti-comedy gags Like, he tells the story with this big ironic punchline -- "And then I slipped and fell in the mud -- ruining the very pants that I had left the house in order to return!"

      When, of course, this is NOT ironic This is the whole reason you don't wear clothes that you plan to return The punchline of the story has nothing unexpected or surprising at all, the bizarre absurdity was at the beginning of the story and he breezed right past it

      If you can pull this off I think this is one of the funniest ways to write a joke The story just keeps on moving forward while the audience is still going like "Wait wait back up WHY were you wearing the pants"

      Some of the best r/AITA posts in history are constructed this way Like the one where the guy's worried his wife is going to divorce him because when he's working at his computer he often pees into bottles rather than getting up to use the bathroom

      And to keep his wife from finding the pee bottles he just puts them in the attic when they're full, and since they're stuck together in the pandemic he just doesn't have any opportunity to sneak up there to empty them out and dispose of them unobserved, so they've built up

      I think it's really hard to write those without telegraphing, the character has to do the work as much as the writing.

      I think my favorite was the classic Reddit post -- from before r/AITA's existence -- with the kid who's having dinner with his girlfriend's parents and is really awkward and shy so to try to make conversation he looks at the baked potato on his plate and asks what it is

      And he realizes how stupid a question this is as soon as he says it and when the confused parents try to ask a follow-up question he can't think of anything to say other than to claim that yes, he really doesn't know what a potato is and has never seen one before

      And the dad starts, like, getting angry and accusing him of lying and he starts getting defensive and making up all this stuff about having a deprived childhood where he only ate processed food

      Again what really makes it is the way the story is told, like it seems like he barely realizes what a strange lie this is to tell and instead jumps right to how terrified he is of the dad becoming so incensed over such a minor issue
