Rick Jones, the A-Bomb from Hulk #26. Written by Jeff Parker with art by Mark Robinson, Terry Pallot & Antonio Febela
Rick Jones, that wacky youngster who grew up to be a perrenial sidekick, is now a monster-fightin' hero of his very own. But what passes for quips in this new hero's witty banter? Dated, dated jokes.
Connect Four, a popular board game by Milton Bradley, had this memorable ad with a horribly delivered punchine, but is instantly remembered by anyone who grew up during 1981. You know, thirty years ago.
.
Heck, The Onion got some traction with that same bit, in 1999. You know, ten years ago.
Deadjoke-o-meter:
1 out of 5 Deadpools. (Not only is it pretty dated, it's pretty forced, too. Yeesh.)
