About 2-3 pounds! Duh! A "henway" is a type of joke where the first person in a conversation uses a term in a way that leads the other person to respond with "what's <term>?" The first person then replies with the punchline (often a pun, although it doesn't have to be). Some of the most common henway terms are "<noun>way," note "<noun> weigh", answered with a weight, as is the case for the Trope Namer "<noun>fore," note "<noun> for?" answered with a purpose "<noun>do," note answered with what the thing does "Greek urn" note "Greek earn" — answer "<X> drachmas a day" and "yoors" or "yaws." note "yours"; most often found in scenes taking place in bars — the question "What's yours?" is a standard way of offering to buy the other person's next drink" Also known as a "Pun Trap". The best way to subvert the standard form if someone tries it on you in Real Life is to ask "What's that?" note It's a pronoun which can be used to refer to something previously mentioned, but that's not important right now. A favourite of the Pungeon Master, and of anyone else who has had a bit too much snoo or updog lately. A common subversion is for the victim to ask about the part of the question that's expected to be common knowledge ("So sad that Steve Jobs died of ligma." "Who's Steve Jobs?") though it's a toss-up whether the jokester will even notice the deviation or just deliver the punchline anyway. Just about any "Knock Knock" Joke is a Henway. Compare Mathematician's Answer, Not Actually the Ultimate Question, Rhetorical Question Blunder and Who's on First?. If you do this all by yourself, it's a Feghoot. A Real Joke Name can be an inversion if the person's name sounds like it's a setup for this trope. |

An in-film example from Women of the Prehistoric Planet; a "Shaggy Dog" Story told by the Odious Comic Relief about his adventures in the service, which eventually meanders to this: "...So I threw a handful of yurze in the thing's eye and killed it..." "What's 'yurzenote (pronounced "yours")'?" "Well, I'd like a three-day pass, sir..." | |

The Simpsons: In "The Simpsons Spin-off Showcase'', they welcomed special guest Tim Conway! Part of the joke here is that Conway's estimate is way off. An example from a Show Within a Show parody of Hee Haw: When Marge attempts to purchase a protective cup for Bart, the guy behind the counter feigns ignorance until she frustratedly spells it out: "C-U-P. I wanna C-U-Oh my god!". In "Four Great Women and a Manicure": Bart's prank phone calls to Moe's Tavern in the early seasons were all about this. He'd ask Moe to page such improbably-named patrons as Al Coholic, Amanda Hugandkiss, I.P. Freely, Bea O'Problem, Oliver Clothesoff, Hugh Jass, etc. That last one (Hugh Jass) turns out to be a real person who was in the bar at the time. Not so subtle the time he asked for "ima stupidmoronwithanuglyfaceandabigbuttandmybuttsmellsandIliketokissmyownbutt." It still worked, due to happening during a Halloween special wherein Bart had reality-warping powers. In "The Color Yellow", Bart has just finished helping Willie by blasting the tree stump out of the ground: In the movie: |

In The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss, the mad girl Auri lives in the space beneath the Arcanum, which she calls "the Underthing." When Kvothe asks her to show him around, intending to sneak into the library, she feigns shock at his audacity in asking to see her Underthing. | |

From The Muppet Show: When Fozzie coerces Kermit to feed him the line, "Good grief, the comedian's a bear!" Fozzie answers, "No he's-a not, he's-a wearin' a neck-a-tie!" "Do you like Kipling?" "I don't know; I've never kippled." "Can you play hatless?" "I don't know, who wrote it?" "Do you enjoy bathing beauties?" "I don't know, I never bathed one." "Do you know there's someone trying to sleep up here?" "No, but hum a few bars and we'll fake it!" In one "Veteranarian's Hospital" sketch, Dr. Bob declared his intention to take out a patient's snew. Earlier in the episode someone asked how to get to Carnegie Hall. Most (perhaps all) of these are hardly original to the Muppet show...which was probably part of the point. |

One segment of The Daily Show showed a senator made an addition to a bill, then another added a "but-for" clause that said the other one couldn't add his. Jon Stewart then said he responded by asking for a ban on all "dickfores". | |

Citation Needed: the prize announced at the end of one episode was "updog." Matt gave the inevitable response, and then headdesked against his microphone halfway through as he realised what he was saying. A variation also occurs in a bonus for the series, where the group jokes about names made up of euphemisms for male genitalia. Gary brings up the name "Willy" and without missing a beat Tom asks "Will he?" Gary admits he doesn't know if he will. |

Subverted in Red Dwarf. When Lister is told of an item called a wormdo, instead of asking "What's a wormdo?" ("Wriggles along the ground, of course!"), he derails the joke by asking, "What's that then?" And it just goes straight downhill from there. | |

MAD: In the Star Wars Musical parody, the Jawa selling Artoo tells Luke that it had a minor accident around a nearby star. An earlier parody of Mark Trail had Mark pointing to a very familiar-looking cartoon rabbit, claiming that it "very frequently eats updok." The rabbit, in between bites of carrot, says, "What's updok?" A The Phil Silvers Show parody included a throwaway joke about Bilko meeting a girl from Maine ("Bangor? I hardly knew her!"). |

A caller actually fell for the moldy standard gag on an episode of Negativland's weekly radio show Over the Edge. A computerized voice ("Wang Tool", played by Don Joyce), supposedly stationed on the moon, intoned "Do... you... prefer... a... turtleneck... or... a... henway?" and the caller said "What's an henway?" Wang replied "About... 3.4... pounds. Haa haa haa haaaa......" This seems to have been Wang's favorite joke. He repeated it, with variations, in several other episodes. |

M*A*S*H: In "Where There's a Will, There's a War", Hawkeye fondly recalls (via flashback) a time when the usually-humorless Margaret Houlihan started rattling off a whole bunch of these with him while taking inventory in the supply hut: In "Are You Now, Margaret?," a visiting congressional aide is investigating Margaret for being a communist sympathizer. He visits her in her tent and attempts to seduce her when Klinger emerges from Margaret's locker and takes a snapshot of the act. Hawkeye, B.J. and Charles arrive to push the dagger in deeper: |

Game Grumps: One episode has Arin asking Danny about updog. The result is priceless. Another episode has Arin trying the Trope Namer. Danny's smarter this time. Years later, when Arin and Danny reminisce about the "updog" incident, Arin manages to create a hilarious successor for it by getting Danny to fall for "grabon". And two months after that, Danny finally gets his revenge in spectacular fashion. He waits until Arin is having yet another meltdown over Sonic Heroes to ask if Arin has tried "feel dee". |

On RuPaul's Drag Race Ru will sometimes ask a contestant "How's your head?" expecting the response "Haven't had any complaints". One contestant, Pearl simply did not get it and would respond with a report on how her head actually felt. When she finally gave the "no complaints" answer on the main stage there was a round of applause. | |

Mystery Science Theater 3000 has a numbers of these: Running gag in the episode First Spaceship on Venus, featuring the character Dr. Herringway, commander of the eponymous expedition. From the "Cave Dwellers" episode, when the film's star appears in the credits: An in-film example from Women of the Prehistoric Planet; a "Shaggy Dog" Story told by the Odious Comic Relief about his adventures in the service, which eventually meanders to this: "...So I threw a handful of yurze in the thing's eye and killed it..." "What's 'yurzenote (pronounced "yours")'?" "Well, I'd like a three-day pass, sir..." "Can't we just get beyond Thunderdome?" Then in Werewolf: Earlier, in I Was A Teenage Werewolf: On more than one occasion, if someone on the screen asks someone else "Are you alright?" or "How are you doing?" one of the bots will answer, "I make a nice living, you?" |

DougDoug routinely has these pulled on him by TTS donations, to the point of getting bored of them. In one stream, to spice things up, he put up a system where anybody who sent one would be banned for two weeks, forcing them to really make theirs count, and forcing the rest of Chat to have a strange mix of emotions between spamming "GOTTEM" and saluting for a fallen chatter. | |

On That's My Bush!, Larry, George W. Bush's wacky neighbor, would use one of these almost Once per Episode. In one episode, someone else gives the punchline instead (responding to "Stardoo" with "It twinkles!"), making him very, very angry. Larry also did the "Hindu" punchline, though unenthusiastically, when George in fact asked him what a Hindu was. Subverted in one episode where spies tunneled to the White House: On one occasion, Larry actually started to do the Trope Namer joke but was cut off by George, who was in the middle of some hijinks and didn't have the time for it. In the series finale as George is leaving the White House, Larry mentions a "queardu," and when George asks "what's a queer do?" Larry cries "This!" and tearfully hugs him. |

In one episode of Blackadder, Baldrick is running for office and tells his boss he thinks his first name is "Sodoff", because all the other kids used to say "Sod off, Baldrick!" Blackadder notes him down as "S. Baldrick". Later Edmund is interviewed by real life political pundit Vincent Hanna (playing "his own ancestor"): | |

Monty Python's Flying Circus: In the sketch "The Funniest Joke in the World", Nazi Germany tries to combat the effectiveness of the titular joke against their forces by writing jokes of their own. One of these consists of the following Gag Sub of Triumph of the Will: In the "Black Magic Police" sketch, when a reporter dramatically asks, "Just what are the police up to?", an especially stupid-looking cop looks up from a book he's reading and answers, "Oh, I'm up to page 39, where Peter Pan first manifests himself." Also, the two pepperpots turn to alternative entertainment after Radio 4 explodes: |

Sushi Pack: Comes up twice in one conversation in the episode "Where No Truth Lies." First, when the Sushi Pack ask Officer Flume "What do you have?" (meaning the crime) and she replies, "Oh, it's nothing, just a little cold." She then tells them about The Prevaricator, who made off with the mayor's prized collection: Comes up again, when the Pack talks to the proprietress of a small cafe. She tells them that The Prevaricator lives just up the road, but "it's a slippery slope," which the Pack take literally, so she replies that she was talking about The Prevaricator himself. |

Achievement Hunter had a Running Gag early in their Minecraft series, when one of the gang would announce they'd found some iron/gold ore, someone would frequently respond with, "Or what?" This eventually got old, and Michael finally put a stop to Geoff's attempt to revive it by just repeating "Gold ore," and then added, "I got all day. How long have you got?" They returned to this in another episode with one of the classics. After Ryan got distracted trying to decipher the meaning of the acronym FUPA Fat Upper Pussy Area, Jack decided to further confuse him by asking him "Do you have a buttfor?" Except Ryan doesn't fall for the trap... partly because he was savvy enough to spot a trap, and partly out of genuine confusion. Which got a Call-Back of sorts in one of their PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds videos, when Gavin didn't understand why Jack's username was "Henway". Which got another Call-Back when Alfredo fell for the "buttfor" trap, didn't know what a FUPA was, and didn't understand why Jessica Biel refused to name her child "Batmo". note Because the child's full name would be pronounced like "Batmobile". |

In the Season 3 Buffy the Vampire Slayer episode "Gingerbread", Buffy laments that she doesn't think anything she does makes a lasting difference, but at least she finally understands something that's baffled her for years. If only Willow was there to hear about sticking fingers in dykes - uh, dikes. |

In Texas Hold'em, the hand Jack-4 is known as a "flat tyre". The joke is reversed in this case, because the punchline is the question ("What's a jack for?") and will only be revealed when someone asks why the hand is given this name. | |
