Anti-Joke Chicken, featuring a photograph of a chicken against a vibrant, radiating background, is the king of subverted humor. Unlike traditional jokes, this meme relies on the 'anti-joke'—a punchline that is intentionally unfunny, overly literal, or straightforwardly logical. The image first gained traction on platforms like Reddit and Quickmeme around 2011, quickly becoming a staple for those who enjoy dry, deadpan delivery. By taking the setup of a classic riddle style joke and stripping away the expected humor, it creates a unique brand of comedy that surprises the audience through its sheer normalcy and lack of a traditional twist.
