Cyanide smells (and maybe tastes?) like almonds. For people aware of this there is a subversion of expectation. It isn't particularly good joke but taken satirically it's alright.

Smells like bitter almonds, which smell like bleach.

What's the purpose of the grenade then? He poisoned her, then blew up with a grenade. Why?

[-] PsychedSy@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 8 months ago

There was no poison. You're supposed to think she's poisoned, but he meant the grenade.

[-] summerof69@lemm.ee 1 points 8 months ago

That's some Nolan shit.

[-] Alice@beehaw.org 3 points 8 months ago

It's supposed to be a one-two punch. You're expecting him to kill her with cyanide, but it turns out you were mistaken! Then he kills her anyway

This kind of joke can totally work in a well-paced comedy, but not a two sentence horror. It's a stretch to do it in two sentences.
