“A joke walks into a bar…” (bar joke)

“A guy walks into a bar…”  is a typical form of what has been called the “bar joke.” A meta-joke version is:
   
“A joke walks into a bar. Bartender says, ‘Woah! I’ve never meta joke before!’”
 
The joke was posted on Reddit—Jokes on November 7, 2016.
 
   
Wikipedia: Meta-joke
Meta-joke refers to several somewhat different, but related categories: self-referential jokes, jokes about jokes (also known as metahumor), and joke templates.
 
This kind of meta-joke is a joke in which a familiar class of jokes is part of the joke. Examples of meta-jokes:
 
. An Englishman, an Irishman and a Scotsman walk into a bar. The bartender turns to them, takes one look, and says, “What is this - some kind of joke?”
. A priest, a rabbi and a leprechaun walk into a bar. The leprechaun looks around and says, “Saints preserve us! I’m in the wrong joke!”
