Critical to a joke is that it fits some other pattern, which is what I think you're getting at.
Here is a not-funny joke:
"1, 2, 3, 4, bananas!"
It seems like you're expecting it to follow a logical-consequences pattern. It's really following a more pun-like pattern. I found it amusing.
Yeah, it should be "1, 2, 3, Kumquat!"
I laughed.
Maybe you were thinking of this.
Never saw that before. I may have been thinking of this somewhat.
This is basically the entire absurdist humour approach, in one joke.
Only if the "Here is a not-funny joke:" is considered to be part of the joke. It wouldn't have been as funny without that preface (and it would actually have been unfunny if it had said "Here is an absurdist joke:").
