“A ventriloquist 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 ventriloquist version has been cited in print since at least 2013:

“A ventriloquist walks into a bar and a voice from the other side of the room says, ‘Ouch!’”

A different version was posted on Twitter by Darren Walsh Puns‏ on December 7, 2017:

“Ventriloquist walks into a bar.
Barman says, sorry we don’t serve dummys.
Dummy says ‘Thats not very nice’
Barman says ‘I didn’t say anything’”
