For all the people asking, here is the joke. A rhetorical question is a question thats not supposed to be answered. This joke was, "what do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?" that is a joke. so the rhetorical part is that there is no answer to it. there ya go

There is nothing to get, it's just word salad. Before I explain why, it is important to note that a rhetorical question must be asked with the purpose of persuading someone of something - whether or not is intended to be answered has NOTHING to do with whether or not the question is rhetorical.
So the joke assumes that the reader understands the definition of rhetorical question to be "a question that is not intended to be answered." The joke also assumes that the reader will interpret the joke to also be a rhetorical question from context, which will lead to a logical paradox when the reader tries to reconcile the fact that the joke expects an answer to the question that expects no answer.
The *actual* definition of a rhetorical question is a question that is meant to convince or persuade someone of a thing, and a rhetorical question can ABSOLUTELY expect an answer. And there is absolutely no context by which any reader is being convinced or persuaded of anything in the joke, by definition the question is not rhetorical. And if the question is not rhetorical, an answer is expected, and the answer would be as follows:
A joke is something said or done to provoke laughter. A rhetorical question is a question meant to persuade or convince someone of something.
So ultimately, this question is a joke that is just not at all funny or humorous, rendering it word salad.
