OK, from Wikipedia <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No_soap_radio>:

"This joke requires the joke teller to have at least one confederate who 
already knows the joke and secretly plays along with the teller. The 
joke teller says something like "The elephant and the hippopotamus were 
taking a bath. And the elephant said to the hippo, 'Please pass the 
soap.' The hippo replied, 'No soap, radio.'" [2]

At this point the confederate (who is pretending that this is the first 
time they have heard the joke), starts laughing hysterically, as if the 
joke was very funny. The other person who was told the joke is then left 
wondering why it is funny, and why everyone else "gets it", but they do 
not. Typically, the recipient of the joke will pretend to get it and 
laugh along with the others just so they won't look stupid. The joke 
teller and the confederate then laugh at the recipient for pretending to 
get it, because the joke is, in fact "ungettable". "No soap, radio" is 
not a punch line, but a nonsensical statement."

Who jnew?
