Scientist 1: It appears to be a new species of whale. What should we call it? Surfer walking by: Killer Whale, bro. Scientist 2: Not bad.
Why It’s Funny
The humor comes from the clash between the formal, analytical world of marine biology and the laid-back, stereotypical vocabulary of a surfer. It’s funny because the scientists are so stumped that they take advice from a random passerby who just happens to use a classic bro-slang term as a scientific name.
