Chuckles McSnortberry Wins Comedy Award For Joke That Had No Punchline, Just Awkward Silence
'The silence was the punchline,' McSnortberry explained. 'You just didn't get it.'
Chuckles McSnortberry won a comedy award for a 10-minute set consisting entirely of awkward silence. 'I told no jokes,' McSnortberry said. 'The audience's discomfort was the humor.' Critics called it 'brave' and 'uncomfortably confrontational.' One attendee said, 'I think I laughed eventually, but I'm not sure why.' McSnortberry's next set will be him staring at the audience for an hour. Tickets are already sold out.
