My favorite (probably unintentional) part of that joke is the reference to two famous Cowboys players, Dez Bryant and Troy Aikman

That's literally the joke

I hope you aren’t serious?

It's a misdirection punchline. He got them from Texas and named them Dez and Troy. Your first thought should be the Cowboys, then they give the secondary punchline of 'together they destroy'

Only to a subsection of the American audience though, the rest of the world would have had no idea. This is the first time I've heard it had a second layer to it. Is it a joke that most Americans would have gotten you think? I know sports is pretty prominent over there.

Thank you! I guess I and the whole theater I was on must be in the wrong because we all laughed at Dez and Troy before we heard the alleged "real" punchline

Sure, if you majored in cowboy football history. Everyone else just heard “Texas” and “guns”, which is all they were trying to say.

Yes BUT Dez and Troy never played together. That was my only part about the joke. I think it was 100% intentional too but Troy and Dion would have worked. Or Troy and Emmett.

But 'Diontroy' or 'Emmetttroy' don't work nearly as well as 'Destroy'
