One of the greatest comedy scenes of all time.

1. Do you pop out at parties?

2. .

3. Really?

Popcorn is usually reserved for flamebait threads.

Has Lucy now become Lounge Flamebait? How sad.

4. Take a closer look, man.

Smilie is not precisely eating popcorn.

[MonkeyFunk]

5. I'm totally baffled

what are you trying to say?

Use words, not smilies.

[yewberry]

6. Joke deconstruction...never pretty.

I used words, but I can spell it out.

The smilie is not eating popcorn. Look closely at Xema's post; it is eating poop out of a popcorn box. Poopcorn.

It's a reference to the same joke. "Pop" confused with "poop." ("Do you pop out at parties?" "Are you unpoopular?") Poopcorn for popcorn.

I don't think it's a reference to flamebait at all, just a joke in the spirit of the OP.

7. With Ms. Sab, one never knows

And I say that in the greatest esteem. :D

[yewberry]

8. Well, not knowing the poster in question,

I can't really speak to that.

But really, the joke is not exactly a reach. I always sort of feel like a jerk explaining jokes...ruins the effect.

9. ah, I get it

the popcorn was brown. That makes it "poopcorn".
