DEXTER´S JOKE

[Mariobug123]

I`m smart (really!) but I didn`t get ANY of that.

[JFiannaca]

Can someone explain the joke?

[Exodurge]

@JFiannaca The joke is basically about the professor's wife being in pain... Dexter sure has a roundabout way of telling jokes doesn't he?

[ekar707]

Wow, after 10+ years I finally get the joke. L.O.L.

[ilovedomo123able]

I luv his accent lol

[SynneDennis]

How sad. As a biology major with emphasis on both biochem and chemical bio, I didn't get it, even though I understood what he said. Why?

Because I read it "-OH." :/

[buddytime90]

Negatively charged hydroxyl ion is OH-, or HO-. That's no HO. That's his wife.

now is it funny i think it is

[Zuyuri]

*is actually laughing because I get the joke*

[jeffandmatthardyrule]

Ten years later: Still don't get it.

[thief6977]

i think sheldon from big bang theroy would be the only one to get that

[MrYoyoben10]

u call that a joke i call it math

[aDogForAllSeasons]

@MrYoyoben10 Correction. Science.

[MrYoyoben10]

@aDogForAllSeasons math science idk

[RaianTheFallen]

LOL

[memeaholic2]

The socially akward penguin didn't laugh when he told this joke to his friends.

[DarthDrac0Ven0m]

Y'know, since I was 6 I NEVER got this. But after 10th grade BioChem, I understood this perfectly! XD

[Ruach]

For those of you who don't get the joke here's the explaination:

A hydroxyl ion is composed of one hydrogen atom bonded to one oxygen atom (with one extra valence electron, but that's not important)

The chemical symbols for hyrdogen and oxygen are H and O respectively therefore a hydroxyl ion has the symbol HO (actually it's usually OH- but I guess Dexter is being liberal here)

Whenever you hear "hyxdroxyl ion" think "ho".

[CARNAXHACKER789]

Dirty jokes never stop appearing:

Hydruxol Ion's short form is H.O.

"That's no Hydruxol Ion, that's my wife!"

"That's no H.O., That's my wife!"

"That's no ho, that's my wife!"

Get the punchline?

[TripleA90000]

hydroxyzine is allergy medicine in case you all didn't know

[Rockorange1000]

Dexter: that's no hydroxyzine that's my wife

Dee Dee's Thoughts: please say that in more gibberish that i can understand please

Dee Dee's Thoughts: it's off... of...fffff......ii...ci....lll­... however you say that word Dexter is Dumb!

[afker553]

i dont get it XDDD

[PatricioMarino]

so sheldon was redheaded when he was young....

[fluttershyfreak97]

if dexter told me that joke i would probably stand there and be like O_o then my head would explode...

[arr0wblast]

someone should explain this...

[Govadina]

Oh I get, it. but y it no fahni 2 me

[KORuthless]

That professor is going to put his quantum harmonizer in his assistance's photonic resonation chamber for mistaking her wife with an ion.

[stnavres]

@KORuthless Yeah? Up yours too buddy!

[Chase1002newaccount]

deedee's all, "please repeat that in ENGLISH."

[fishyfrost]

Deedee's expression at the punchline says more than a thousand words

[xXKarasumeXx]

It's not hard to understand... the only part that's hard to understand is the "punch line"...

Unless the whole thing is a clever metaphor meant to personify the concept of a husband accepting his wife.. in which case, well done. He made a joke no one could ever hope to fully understand.

[Load0Sheep]

it takes me 7 years to figure this out...and i'm satisfied

[SWProds]

*facepalm* i actually laughed.

[RainbowDashRoad]

/watch?v=Qmb9cnx__hA

[sumaru101]

wow... i get it... im such a nerd

[hakera1980]

which episode is this from? please tell me

[KingRamses1017]

@hakera1980 It's not from a episode. It's a like a little mini clip or what ever!

[ImaginaryQuack]

I feel stupid.

[WebCamCartmell]

So the professor and his assistant were fucking the professor's wife?

[Ruach]

Good to know those years in bio and organic chemistry are good for something. That something is finally understanding a joke I heard when I was 10...

Also why would physicists be working in chemistry?

[DannyEastes]

@Ruach he does chemistry aswell, he can be seen mixing chemicals and such a few times

[loserkid9061]

@Ruach Physics is involved when liberating hydroxyl ions from H2O.

This is actually really funny.  I remember this from so long ago and had forgotten about the clip until it showed up on my home page. Love this.

[conalkelly100]

MAN GET THIS GUY A STAND UP SPOT ON THE NEXT MICHEAL MC ITYRES COMEDY COMEDY ROAD SHOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

[transaltlanticism]

dont you think boxxy sounds a bit like dexter?

[hakera1980]

i knew this cartoon is genius! :)

[Atheo1991]

lame

[GattoFresco]

@loldotalol379 but the main punchline is that the scientist called his wife a ho haha, others are right but who expects a 9 year old to even know what that means? i know i didn't until 2 minutes ago..

[TeamRocketRockin]

I partially understand the joke! I don't know what hydroxalions and salicitic acids are but I understand the "won't accept" part. ROTFLWDETDDDGI (Roll on the floor laughing with Dexter even though Dee Dee doesn't get it.)

[R0bski]

Bit inappropriate for a kids tv show. Not that I got it when I watched it as a kid.

[tennisbabee08]

@loldotalol379 okay, my mistake.. i misunderstood what u were saying.

[tennisbabee08]

@loldotalol379 excuse me. HO-

no need for rudeness. thanks.

[scukmawea]

I don't get it =D

[cHiCkWiTbRaINs31]

hahahahaha I love this joke :D

[FireBenderKwyna]

i still dont get it

[ShakeJuntSmokeBlunts]

@FireBenderKwyna the professor calls his wife a HO

[ERR0R9O9]

Reaction Vid FTW

[takarifan]

To understand this joke, you have got to know your basic chemistry periodic table. Change the Hydroxyl into its short form which is HO and replace the hydroxyl part in Dexter's joke. You all will get it, it's a simple dirty joke.

[Mak3ttaja]

i like the part when dexter tells the joke.

[WetardsReloaded]

Nerd jokes. Ohohoho. Only virgins can truly harness it's power.

[CharroArgentino]

@WetardsReloaded So I recovered my virginity? D:, dammit

[BurningKitten26]

Lol

[AVET87]

Thank You Chemistry

[GoodVsEvil1314]

My childhood has officially been scarred.

[acfreak55]

i would like to know what little kid wouldve been able to get that joke, i diddnt even get it when i used to watch this when i was little.

[TheRealDoublez]

lol i get it

[TearDropQween]

Kick me to the hell this is so funny.

[juppppy]

Problem with explaining the joke, hydroxyl ions are generally denoted as OH-, not -HO.

[Mada2595]

@juppppy Back in the days it was HO. Now it uses OH.

[Yelkwood9]

HO LOL. kinda dirty for kids television

[DNYAP]

The professor is saying that his wife is a HOE , hydroxyl ion could be seen as (HO), the salicylic acids won't accept a HOE

[bobepuhuh]

Changing t-

[Comeback64]

@akatsukiprojects It's your mother.

[billruller]

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!­!! *breathes* I don't get it.

[CreamPuff84]

After a semester of hearing chemistry related puns from my professor I finally get it.

[TheSceptileDude]

What the hell does that mean?

[marclavius]

If you've spent any time trying to figure out how hydroxyl ions and salicylic acid could be humorous, you've missed the point of the joke.

[madd13xox]

Is it just me or does he sound like Chucky from rugrats?XD

[RobochaoXX]

@madd13xox Same voice actress.

[DictatorOfJelybeans]

@madd13xox It's the same voice actress.

[screwednoob]

@Fred go eat a dick niggaaaaaa

[KaminaDies]

And then a nigger raped all of them.

[FeralHydra75]

I kind of get it .___.

[progrockcoffee]

And it's salicylic, not salicytic, Dexter. Bah, who cares? I love this show.

[progrockcoffee]

Why is a physics professor working with chemicals? Shouldn't he be a chemistry teacher?

[GeneralCane]

"I must liberate the negatively charged hydroxyl ions!" the assistant shouted. The physics professor said “No, assistant. You ARE the negatively charged hydroxyl ion.” And then the assistant was a wife.

[OGOTENKSO]

Dee Dee's just stupid, I found that hiilaaaaarious!

[Josh057]

Chuck Norris is the one that told Dexter this joke.

[DarthRaukrist]

tennisbabee08 is RIGHT! talk about missing the forest for the trees! Oh gawd all you nerds mega fail. xD xD xD xD

this has got to be the most overanalyzed joke ever in history. and final proof that attempting to 'solve' jokes always gets you the wrong answer.

'rant babble science nerd dork essay essay flame troll poop.'

'or, it could just be the assisstant is calling the physics professor's wife a ho (-HO)'

xD xD xD xD xD

[tennisbabee08]

i heard this the other day and after like 10 years i finally got the joke.. Dexter said hydroxyl ion, which is -HO.. the professor said that's not hydroxyl ion (HO) that's my wife.

[PichuABC]

@tennisbabee08 you explained it and i STILL don't get it!

[tennisbabee08]

@PichuABC lol i understand.. it's just cuz im a nerd haha

[981407036x]

@tennisbabee08 I STILL DONT GET IT!!!!

i think i just got double trolled or something :(

[blank21121]

@981407036x His wife is a hoe (HO).

[RunaroundStar]

@tennisbabee08 O.O

[howlrat]

@tennisbabee08 I read an alternate explanation which said the professor was trying to give his wife aspirin because she is hungover.

[baburuto]

@tennisbabee08 ohhhh that finally makes sense lol

[Angeliclily]

@tennisbabee08 ..OOHHHHH LMAO

[FG10sAdventure]

@tennisbabee08 oh ahahahaha

[tjdah10]

@tennisbabee08 You put the more electronegative element first. Hydroxyl is -OH not -HO.

[tjdah10]

@tennisbabee08 Oh, never mind. Apparently it used to be written HO once upon a time. Thanks for your explanation. :)

[stefuneku]

@tennisbabee08 same here :))



[bullettoothburrows]

@tennisbabee08 so the crux of the joke was the wife being called ho?

[adam10526]

@tennisbabee08 Its about time i got that joke. LOL

[yourballsareinert]

@tennisbabee08 10 years....finally paid off. I can die now.

[SMAXZO]

@tennisbabee08 So that's what it meant. Well, there's one childhood mystery solved.

[TwilightWonder]

@tennisbabee08 I don't think it's this. I think it's that a hydroxyl ion is an alcohol group, and salicylic acid is the main thing in aspirin -- so his wife got drunk and is taking some aspirin for her hangover now.

[withoutamartyr]

@TwilightWonder Almost. The scientist and his assistant are taking aspirin, and the aspirin isn't working. The scientist implies it's his wife who's giving him a headache.

[TwilightWonder]

@withoutamartyr But that seems to ignore the whole -OH being an alcohol, which would seem to play into it well. Without talking to the writers of the joke, I suppose we will never know what the intended meaning was.

[withoutamartyr]

@TwilightWonder On reflection, you are correct. I was thinking that this couldn't possibly be a joke about getting drunk considering it's a kid's show, but then I remember "since when did 90s cartoons care about that shit?" My new interpretation: "A chemist and his assistant are working on sobering up a given specimen. The assistant expresses concerns that the specimen will reject their aspirin. The chemist reminds him that the specimen in question is his drunkass sloppy wife."

[Metalhead15712]

@tennisbabee08 thanks for the info, now I get the real joke.

[dane450]

@tennisbabee08 LOL!

[GattoFresco]

@tennisbabee08 swag

[FuckinAngelica]

@tennisbabee08 NO WAY XD im going to write this joke down and tell everybody X3

[topspin13]

@tennisbabee08 oh, thanks i've been wondering what the joke was, and jeez they pretty much hid the word Ho lol

[MrBrinkle]

14 people don't accept the hydroxolion.

[DuckTehEpik]

lol

I dont get it

[Mushhoodkingston]

science geek

[wallblues]

*crying under the sheets* LEAVE Afliss92 ALONE! D'X

[FacePlant92]

0:21 Change into-

[SecondOpinionMan]

DOOOOOOOOHOHOHOHO!

[dianaoana2001]

dont get it

[humanconvertile]

... Hmm, now that I think about it, I think this was a very subtle adult joke. The salicylic acid WON'T ACCEPT the hydroxyl ion... eh?

[mufcevo]

Finally now I know how to break the ice with a girl! Thanks Dexter.

[wildlionwithin]

I don't get it, but why am I laughing ? xD

[NuKayon]

Why is a physics professor doing chemistry?

Also the chemistry sorta makes sense. A nucleophilic hydroxyl ion COULD attack the electrophilic carbonyl carbon of salicylic acid's carboxylic acid group... which would just be regenerated through beta elimination

[StarlightDragon]

that joke does not even make since. It's just a "my wife" joke. Fuck, I forgot about those

[youcantbeatmyawesome]

Stephen Hawking likes this

[The38DODGE]

I still don't get it. 

[Pokemonpowerman]

HA! It's funny because it's true!

[supermario101000]

My version of it: MOOOM Is my stack pack here??? yea it is (opening stackpack)

thats no stackpack THATS MY WIFE BWAWAWAWAWAWAWAWAHAHAHAHAHA

XD

[debunker1905]

BAZZINGA!

[ProwerProductions]

lolololololol!

[MissGirlMisa]

This is like Penny and Sheldon when they were kids lol.

[elbowonfire]

Guys guys....hydroxyl ions are whores

[thegameboy001]

HAHAHAHAHA........ I don't get it.

[Kytseo]

@thegameboy001 apparently the joke is that the professor's wife is a pain

[amw1505]

i get it

it's something with his wife right?

[OnlyRemaining]

Hahahahah, wait what?

[Afliss92]

@NuttersForFraggle later brosephosaurus

[Afliss92]

@NuttersForFraggle why in the fuck would i research that???? i really don't care. i don't feel stupid. and honestly you just sound like an asshole. later dude. I'm done with your ass. you're just fucking tiresome.

[Afliss92]

@NuttersForFraggle dude when i wrote the first god damn message while i was fucking half asleep. cut me some fucking slack on the grammar mistakes, i only said it half seriously. frankly i don't give a fuck about grammar. all it is is a way for people like you to justify calling people idiots. get the fuck off the internet. PS: you spelled capitalize wrong. Bitch.

[Afliss92]

@NuttersForFraggle no....i accidentally presses "S" twice. Ass

[Taizinator]

I heard " Cheen cheen chin" at the end.

[icryoutofoneeye]

Lol, this joke is so bad it hilarious

[ketchupdespot]

@NuttersForFraggle If you're English, shouldn't you know how to spell "spelled"?

[ketchupdespot]

@NuttersForFraggle Spelt is a species of wheat. I think you mean "spelled"?

[Dps081393]

Can't be a hangover

If the wife IS the negative hydroxyl, how can she BE drunk?

Can't be to relieve pain because the salicylic acid is an aspirin used for skin cleansing

Best explanation: The wife is negative (a negative influence on the professor). To liberate (get rid of) his wife, he will make her "bond" with acid

[LongLiveInspiration]

LMAO.

[Wnyblazingkid]

@wtflazorpewpew That was the most amazing piece of ownage on youtube I have ever read. Bravo.

[OzzyMandez]

I think the idea is that you're not supposed to get it and the average viewer wouldn't, so it doesn't have to make sense.

[BlackZero98]

Didn't understand it when I was little and only sorta-kinda understand it now.

[BackSideOFFThemoon]

how do youtube know i like dexter?..:P

[TheNonlivingJerk]

LOL at Dee Dee's expression.

[yoshiguy123]

Here i will have a go. The h+ on the flux capacitor over the halo power suit to create a sphincter. Said sphincter is lolz = dexter u funny.

[interstella57]

I don't get it.

[MrNauran]

"A physics professor and his assistant were working on liberating negatively-charged hydroxyl ions, when all of a sudden, the assistant says, 'Wait, professor, what if the salicylic acids don't accept the hydroxyl ions?' And the professor responds, 'That's no hydroxyl ion; that's my wife!'"

Get it? Dex' is makin' parallels between trying to liberate negatively-charged hydroxyl ions, and a professor trying to make his wife more acccepting/agreeable.

NYAHAHAHAA~!

[5Kpro]

sounds like niko bellic as a kid

[Zelixsphere]

I....Think I get it........Jenga....

[TheZa1994]

Stinky joke.

[m1me1111]

Great now i have to find Afliss92's comment

[UloveM3h]

@m1me1111 At least it's not deleted. XD

[AnneFTW]

@m1me1111 Just press Ctrl + F and type in his username

[agenttheater5]

I we supposed to get it?

[soumyaaymous]

back then i thought it must have some meaning but i dont know enough to get it...now i know it has no meaning..but i love it still the same

[shadowhexogram]

for some reason when I was a kid I laughed at the joke despite having no idea what he said. I guess I'm one of those people who laugh at punchlines.

[WeaviletheGreat123]

... i dun get it..

[hiwy2hell]

i dont get it and im not even a real blonde

[ItzBillyeh201]

Idk why but i find this funny

[wrpen99]

HA!

[DJSPYDAMONKEE]

YOU GUYS ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO UNDERSTAND,frikin nerds..

[hiphoppop8]

huh
