I know right! The egg has legs but the chicken doesn't? Fucking ridiculous.

What is going on in your mind to think about that? Reddit, you never cease to amaze me.

Looks like someone needs to get laid!

edit: yes, yes it is going downhill.

[–]Photoshops_Penises 3 points4 points ago

Actually you're wrong, it can't go downhill because the chicken is actually a rooster.

Right, and cocks don't lay eggs.

Am I missing a pun or are you questioning the omnipotency of reddit?

[–]nickyrho 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

The pun is basically the age old question: What came first, the chicken or the egg?

[–]Zeydon 2 points3 points ago

You beat me to it.

Complaints about reposts? It's not a repost if the image is older than reddit! Hurrrrr

Which website? The one that hosted that lame comic featuring an ancient joke, or reddit, which clamors over itself to bray like donkeys at this weak submission?

[–]dragon0196 2 points3 points ago

Reddit; Where a submission even my grandparents would downvote can have 800 upvotes and only 40 comments.

I think it's gotten so bad that it's actually gone all the way around; these things are so unfunny and bad and overused that they have become funny again.

About 1 to 1.

The chicken evolved from a prior "ancestor" species over countless generations and mutations. The first individual that would be arbitrarily considered a "chicken" was born in an egg laid by a "non chicken". The egg came before the chicken.

However, the first egg-laying species in history evolved from a prior "ancestor" species which did not lay eggs. The first individual who laid an egg was not born in an egg. In this case the "chicken" came before the egg, except it wasn't an actual chicken.

[–]doterobcn 0 points1 point ago

The egg was first, it was a mutation.

[–]Kowzorz 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Well it could have been a species that was genetically supposed to lay an egg but was "born" from a not-egg and the egg it layed was more-or-less genetically identical to the non-egg-"born" species.

[–]doterobcn 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Yes, or it can just be there by the hand of God, so first it was God, and then chicken and egg just appeared by its powers
The most logical answer is the egg, but it's a tricky question to try to mess with thoughts...

[–]slowmotionninja 4 points5 points ago

right? and if the egg is female why does she look so disappointed? Unless The rooster is just talking some weird pleasure in being two pump chump and he's rubbing it in....

Doesn't this make the question even harder to solve? Which came first? They had sex with each other so now what?

If you're going to reproduce a comic that's been done hundreds of times, at least do a decent job, not this MSpaint crap.

Yes, because the joke wasn't created by half a dozen people 2 minutes after the first time the chicken vs egg conundrum was uttered.

I especially appreciate this because, based on the theory of evolution, the chicken actually DID come first. And also because it's a raunchy pun.
