Q: What are you eating under there?

Q: What are you eating under there? A: Under where? Q: You are eating underwear? Gross! This is potty humor, an ambush joke, and also a joke based on a pun. The jokester asks a question and hopes that the target says the correct response. The initial question is ambiguous, so there is a chance that the target of the joke will be confused and ask "under where?" If they get a different response such as "what are you talking about?" or "I am not eating anything", then the joke fails completely The pun is based on the similarity of the words "under where" and the word "underwear", which sound very similar. This is the type of joke that little kids might say on the playground. Another version of this joke used by the band "Barenaked Ladies" in their song "Pinch me" I could hide out under there/ I just made you say underwear Which is even less funny than the original joke in my opinion.

Does your face hurt?

Q: Does your face hurt? A: No? why? Q: Because it is killing me This is an insult, and also a joke that relies on expectation whiplash. The jokester starts by sounding concerned for the person that they are telling the joke to, however, when the person on the receiving end of this joke responds they are insulted. The insult "It's killing me" is a colloquial phrase indicating that the anteceding thing is causing them distress, so it is assumed that the persons face is ugly enough to cause the jokester distress from seeing it.
