Australian TV hosts lose it over boy’s shocking vegan joke

A young boy’s joke about vegans stunned Australian TV viewers when it aired live on a national talk show.

“Australia Today” hosts Karl Stefanovic and Sarah Abo were interviewing the boy, who was wearing a cowboy hat, when he told his joke.

“A vegan and a vegetarian are jumping off a cliff to see who will hit the bottom first. Who wins?” he asked.

“I don’t know,” Stefanovic said, while Abo replied: “Who wins?”

“Society!” the boy exclaimed.

The two hosts broke out in gales of laughter and Stefanovic doubled over in joy at the boy’s cheekiness, falling off his chair while holding his head in his hands. “We weren’t expecting that!” Abo said.

The video has since gone viral after it was posted on the show’s TikTok account.

The joke, which has generated a variety of positive and negative responses, was labeled onscreen as “The Best Vegan Joke.”

“Such a great job of raising your kids, NOT, the joke is funny but this is how morals and compassion die,” one critic wrote.

A second added: “Society wins when animals are killed?”

Others found the humor in it, however, with one viewer calling it “the joke of the century.”

“As a vegetarian I approve,” a second wrote, while a third admitted they “laughed my a–s off.”
