Note: This thread was proposed by badtothebaritone.

Stock Shticks is an old page that houses a list of common joke types. It has no on-page examples despite not being No On-Page Examples, as is common among pages this old, and its wicks mainly follow the pattern "a joke of a common type is told", negative reception optional. The name is also a bad snowclone of the "Stock X" variety.

I suggest disambiguating between Pun, Lame Pun Reaction, and possibly other tropes, though I'm open to other options. I think there might be potential for a trope about amateur, unfunny comedians who overuse stock jokes like the ones this trope covers.

Summary of Shtick Check:

  • A joke of a common type exists (32/50)
  • A common joke is received negatively (7/50)
  • A common gag happens (3/50)
  • ZCE (1/50)
  • Other (7/50)

Paging ~badtothebaritone to the thread. Anyway, I think we can deprecate this in some way, but I'm not sure how.

Closing for being a duplicate.
