    My preferred version:

    Two sausages are sitting in a frying pan. One looks over to the other and says, “Is it just me, or is it getting hot in here?” The other sausage looks back and says, “AHHH! IT’S A TALKING SAUSAGE!”

        Given the lack of punctuation at the end of the sentence compared to proper punctuation on the other lines, I would expect that one of these is true:

        1. The end of the punchline was never printed.
        2. The end of the punchline appears elsewhere and cannot be seen because of how it is being held.
        3. The image has been edited for comedic effect (successfully, in my opinion).

      That’s funny for the irony, but OP’s is morbid or dark humor. Both are great.

        It looks like this is the same joke and the picture is just not showing the punchline.

          Credit for the edit quality then. I think it’s funny as shown, although I agree having a period there would have made it perfect.

    The version of this I’ve heard is “the other muffin says ‘Holy shit a talking muffin!’”

    Why does the muffin scream? Just look around. Why shouldn’t the muffin scream? Why aren’t you screaming?

      It’s an anti-joke. Instead of doing a typical setup-payoff, the setup is that it uses the format of a joke, but then subverts the expectation by then having the “characters” make the most basic observations/actions.

        I think it’s implied that the other muffin screams cause it’s surprised by a talking muffin.

      The full joke adds that the other muffin says “a talking muffin” after the scream,but I kinda like this version better because it’s an antijoke this way.
