There’s this certain category of joke I’m not sure how to label or describe.
It’s not really a “practical joke” in the sense that it’s a big prank, and it’s not really a pun, or a setup punchline thing either.
It’s the kind of joke that’s just sort of found in the wild, where it catches you off-guard and sticks in your brain. It needs a name, no doubt, it needs a label. And maybe you can help me find one for it as we sift through a few good examples via the fine folks of Reddit.

“Seriously, dude? I’m a doctor. I’m very busy. I don’t have time to laugh at this very hilarious joke.”
My dad recently got a 3d printer and made a stool sample for his doctor

1. Water you doing?
Just follow the trail and you’ll find the joke shortly…
My kids came in and told me there was water coming from the laundry room. They said it looked like it started at the washer. I rushed in to find this. Buncha comedians in my house…

So what do we call this kind of thing?
Seriously, I’m at a complete loss. I’m going to need your help.
Give me your ideas for the categorization in the comments.
