The Crowd-Pleaser That Never Grows Up… Just Grows Bigger!

We’ve all been there—at a party, a reunion, or backstage at a show—when someone pulls out a photo of their "pride and joy." Kids, grandkids, pets, vacation spots... You name it.

Now it's your turn—and with this oversized Pride and Joy Jumbo Gag Card, you’ll get laughs long before they figure out the punchline!

This is not the classic wallet-sized version made famous by comedian Henny Youngman. This is the stage-sized upgrade, measuring a full 8 inches by 10 inches, professionally printed in full color on heavyweight card stock. It’s tailor-made for magicians, mentalists, and comedy performers who want a quick, visual laugh that plays big—even from the back row.

Just ask your audience, “Would you like to see a picture of my Pride and Joy?”—and reveal this card showing vintage bottles of PRIDE™ furniture polish and JOY™ dish soap. The reaction? Priceless.

Want to take it up a notch? Consider placing the card in a cheap, old wooden picture frame to really sell the gag. Holding it like a cherished portrait adds both visual punch and comic contrast—making the joke land even harder.

✔ Oversized jumbo comedy prop ideal for stage and parlor shows
✔ Quick sight gag—perfect as a stand-alone laugh or filler between effects
✔ Printed on heavy card stock with vibrant full color
✔ Bonus: Back of the card includes a second black-and-white sight gag!
✔ Works even better when framed and treated like a serious photo

A Bit of Comic History:
This gag was made famous by legendary comedian Henny Youngman, who gave away business card-sized versions of this joke for decades. Inspired by his friend Milton Berle, Henny used the “Pride and Joy” card as both a laugh and a calling card—literally printing his contact info on the back. This jumbo version is a tribute to that timeless bit of stage comedy.
