Boy goes into a shop and asks the shop keeper for a loaf of bread. Shop keeper: ' would you like brown or white?' Boy: 'It doesn't matter I've got my bike outside.'

to 'get it' you need to know that there was an original joke that went...
"I say, I say, I say, do you know my dog has no nose?" "How does he smell?" "Terrible!"
which ain't a great joke, but it works...what these chaps are doing is not only breaking with that old 'music hall joke' convention, but they are also adding a little 'non-sequitur' humour, and some just plain old daftness...basically making a crap joke better (much better in my opinion!)
Comedy Rule #34 Never explain a joke...it just kills it!
Horse walks into a bar. barman says 'hey why the long face?'
Horse says 'Well, I am in the public eye a lot being a talking horse and having a whisky named after me. It's tough going. I'm taking heroin just to ease the pain. I'm on the F Word tomorrow and just can't be bothered hoofing down to london every five minutes. Make it a double. Janet Street Porter is after me'
