This is a joke I remember my dad telling me when I was a kid. Love it.

Is there a name for that type of joke? Why did the chicken cross the road? What did the farmer say when he couldn’t find his tractor? Etc.

That’s an anti-joke or anti-humor.

Thanks. They use the chicken and farmer jokes as prime examples too lol.
