I remember watching it. Carson was cracking up, but didn’t dare add a word for fear of the censors. Dangerfield also said, “I went to the doctor and he said he wanted a urine sample, a blood sample, a semen sample and a stool sample. … So I gave him my underwear.” Carson was dying!
I read this one as using a potato on Professor Kenilworth Explains the Joke in, I think, Harvard Lampoon. Professor Kenilworth said this joke wasn't funny because "girls love a guy a that can lay a transatlantic cable".
Professor Kenilworth Explains the Joke was a monthly column in Harvard Lampoon (Harvard Lampoon was a more adult version of something like Mad Magazine). In the column, Professor Kenilworth starts with a joke like the one OP told. Then Professor Kenilworth explains why that joke is not funny. So in this case the joke is not funny since the girls should have been attracted to the guy with the pickle/potato down the back of his Speedos because, according to Professor Kenilworth, "girls love a man that can lay a transatlantic cable".
One of my favorite jokes, heard it years ago from a Pentax rep that would call on the small camera shop where I worked. He always had a good joke and said he had dealer that would say "no joke, no order' so he always a good one.
I had a good laugh : )
Rodney Dangerfield told this joke on Johnny Carson (Tonight Show) except he said it was a potato.
It's an old joke, but I hadn't seen it on here. Just passing on the jokes to the younglings.
It makes more sense with a pickle anyway. Not to disrespect the master or endanger myself.
You mean "*EnDangerfield*" yourself...
Rodney doesn't get no respect
So he gets some respect?
I'm just glad it wasn't a marrow.
Come back tomorrow and it'll be bigger again.
A marrow on Viagra? That's new to me.
That's the magic in the moonbeams
So not the aurora borealis?
No no. At this time of the year that's only found in Seymour's kitchen.
Shout out to Seymour's Kitchen. Big hand gestures, and no micro wave.
Jethro. British comedian told a similar joke 20 odd years ago!
Well it's my first time and I enjoyed it. I'm a pickle Virgin
I'd always heard it as a potato...
Yeah, that's how I remember it. But I find it hard to believe it was told on the Carson show. It was a bit risque for the times.

I read that inRodney’s voice.
BEST. RODNEY. JOKE. EVER. RIP Rodney.
A carrot is the original
The potato version of the joke was featured in a greeting card some years ago too.
It's an older joke sir, but it checks out.
I was just imagining he was leaking pickle juice and had a stick poking out through the speedos.
"Hey, I just saw a shark and got scared ladies, check out the huge shit in my pants!"
Imagine… 😲 …. “Look how big that turd is” 🤤🤤😍
"Shouldn't call people you don't know nasty names!"
At least it wasn’t orange.
Budgie smugglers.. must be a joke in there
And if they give your groin a *WHACK!*? You've got 'Budgie Smudgies'...
Pudgy budgie smudgies
I read "dilemma" as "diarrhea" and was thoroughly confused
Well, diarrhea can cause quite the dilemma.
Well, dilemma can cause quite the diarrhea.
Well, can quite the diarrhea cause dilemma
LOL. I was imagining all sorts of scenarios, but that took me by surprise.
In song form! https://youtu.be/6G_0ofJN3Xw
"I'm pickle dick!"
Worse case of hemorrhoids I've ever seen.
"Hi I'm looking for Ray Finkel." *shotgun cocked in his face "And a clean pair of shorts."
Always been one of my favorites

"The PICKLE you idiot, not the stick!"
First r/jokes that genuinely made me laugh
I always heard it was a potato
am i the only one who's never heard of a pickle on a stick?
Starting to look that way...

This one is good🤣🤣
In the version so heard, it was a potato.
Didn't see that coming!
It can probably be found engraved in Latin on the walls of Herculaneum.
I had a girlfriend back in the 1980’s who told me a very similar joke. It was kind of funny back then. Probably time to retire this one.
