My brother told me my corn puns were too corny and I proved him wrong

He straight up said my jokes were so bad they made his ears hurt. So for the next family gathering I waited until he was eating corn on the cob. I hit him with a three pun combo about butter, kernels, and how he was shucking his teeth. He choked on a piece of corn and my dad gave me a standing ovation. Now I keep a list of fresh corn puns in my phone for moments like that. Anyone else have a family member who tried to shut down your dad joke game?

Your brother should be thanking you, not complaining - you basically turned his meal into a comedy show and a choking hazard at the same time.

The 3 seconds of silence before he took a bite must have been legendary. Your brother practically signed up for a dinner show, he just didn't know it until the first crunch.

A comedy show with a side of potential emergency room visit is a pretty fair trade for a free meal. At least nobody can say dinner with you guys was boring, that's more than most family meals can claim. Your brother got a story he'll be telling for years, all he had to do was nearly choke on a few crunchy bits. Sounds like you upgraded his steak from a standard meal to an unforgettable experience.
