“I just got my son a flat piece of cardboard for Christmas. He wanted an ex-box”

Xbox is a video gaming brand from Microsoft. “Xbox” should not be confused with “ex box,” but there are jokes.
     
“I’ve just got my son a flat piece of cardboard for Christmas. Although what he wants with an ex box I’ll never know. RT @comedyclipsblog” was posted on Twitter by FunnyOneLiners on December 20, 2009. (The original tweet is no longer on Twitter.) “I just got my son a flat piece of cardboard for his birthday. I have no idea why he was so desperate for an ex box” was posted on Reddit—Dadjokes on May 31, 2020.
       
“Why doesn’t Mike Tyson use a PlayStation?”/“Because he’s an X-Boxer” is another Xbox joke.

I just bought my son a flat piece of cardboard for Christmas.
I have no idea why he wants an ex box.

I decided to get my son a flat piece of cardboard for his birthday.
He keeps asking for an ex box, so I’m sure he will be delighted.
