What's the joke?

July 29, 2020 9:56 AM

In the video [NSFW-ish] for Janelle Monáe's PYNK, there's a shot at the beginning of someone eating a popsicle. You can briefly see part of a joke on the popsicle stick. What's the whole joke?

The part you can see looks like "What did the dough.... to the loaf of bread"?

While I am interested in speculation and would love to hear creative jokes that fit, my strongest desire* is to know the actual joke, including punchline, that Popsicle printed on the Popsicle stick. (I have studied Popsicle stick jokes at some length and I believe this is authentic and not something made special for the video)

* about this topic, obvs

Best answer: "What did the doughnut say to the loaf of bread? I wish I had as much dough as you."

What did the doughnut say to the loaf of bread?
"If I had that much dough, I wouldn't be hanging around this hole."

A minute too late. essexjan's version is the original which was perhaps too racy for a Popsicle stick.

Response by poster: Thanks, ManyLeggedCreature and Obscure Reference! I had found essexjan's version through my own searches, but agree that it's unsuitable tone for a popsicle stick, plus I think it's too long to actually fit.
