Help[Opinions] Re: Viola -- still a good joke or not?
in reply to a message by clevelandkentevans
Viola has several things stacked against it: no one knows how to pronounce it, it's a weird instrument, and "Violet" is right there and way easier to deal with.
I think it would have shed its old-lady association more if it hadn't had these things working against it when the trend it fits into was picking up.
"Throckmorton" is just a cumbersome sounding name, that's why it's funny. Maybe Viola is a prissy name? So Isabella Throckmorton?

People don't really know what a viola is, and it has a whole genre of jokes about it. Source: professional violist

Viola jokes are basically comparable to blond jokes. You can google "viola jokes" if u want.
