bartender jokes
Bar counter comedy
A bartender joke is a genre of humor following the formula "X walks into a bar..." The setup places an unlikely character—an animal, a priest, a famous person—in a drinking establishment, where the bartender's response delivers the punchline.
The format is so familiar it often gets subverted: A man walks into a bar. Ouch.
The "walks into a bar" opening has become shorthand for corny, formulaic humor.
