I actually quite like the idea of completely random gags in this formula. I feel like I might even prefer them to the lame ones given by the ostensibly smarter algorithm. It could be a rich vein of absurdist, non-sequitur laughs.

I think that many nonsequitor jokes are funny more by targeted nonsequitorness than by randomness.
