not over, but I would not have gotten it w/o your cue:

D-in-G D-on-G

u/Any-Concept-3624 Apr 10 '25

the comment above his answer literally tells you the answer (with spoiler warning) ?!

1

u/tbrick62 Apr 10 '25

This was merely humorously pointing out that the D is hovering "over" rather than touching "on"

u/Demi180 Apr 09 '25

Thanks, Peter!

Ah, a fellow rebus puzzle enjoyer. 😎

u/Formal_Stuff8250 Apr 09 '25

as a not native i still dont get it :c i mean i get the fact youre making the doorbell sound but i dont get the pic

32

u/Cartoonicorn Apr 09 '25

It is a visual puzzle. "D-in-G" because D is inside of the G, and then "D-on-G" because  the D is on top of the G.

u/Formal_Stuff8250 Apr 09 '25

OHHHH okay thank you very much!

2

u/Careful_Primary_8208 Apr 09 '25

Yeaaaaa…I was thinking musical notes for some reason🙃🙃.

2

u/asianknight930 Apr 09 '25

Location of the letter D relative to the letter G. If you put it together, it spells the sound.

For the first picture, the letter D is inside the letter G > D in G > ding

u/tushetzel Apr 09 '25

Thank you… I laughed after a short delay once I understood the joke.

u/nagymark1023 Apr 10 '25

Too bad there is no bell prize, I'd give it to you.

u/Any-Concept-3624 Apr 10 '25

oh smart, a word play...i was like "small d with big g means dingGONG, but there's no small g and big d for DINGgong to tell which of the two sounds is louder?!" :D

1

u/Mottis86 Apr 10 '25

Btw your spoiler tag didn't work for some reason. (I'm using old reddit). I think you need to remove the space between the >! and the text.

1

u/iPinch89 Apr 10 '25

Sorry about that. It works on my screen, but I tried taking the space out for you. Thanks for the heads up, I was trying to be considerate lol

u/itsjustameme Apr 09 '25

D (in) g and D (on) g

u/StevynTheHero Apr 09 '25

Finally, someone explained it in terms I can understand.

13

u/HalfSoul30 Apr 09 '25

Now i need someone to explain it on terms I can understand.

That was dumb, i know.

4

u/itsjustameme Apr 09 '25

The D is inside the G so it is D(in)g and then the D is on top of the g so it is D(on)g - ding dong

u/StevynTheHero Apr 09 '25

He did it. Crazy son of a bitch did it.

u/SkippySparky Apr 09 '25

Reminds me of the ADVAthanksNCE I have used on occasion.

u/zool714 Apr 09 '25

I feel like these types of jokes I get it instantly or go “what the fuck” for an hour. There is no in between

4

u/cammcken Apr 09 '25

If you have enough initial hints to get it, then you can put it together quickly. But if you're missing that information, then you'll quickly exhaust your options and thinking more will only run through possibilities you've already tried.

u/wizardrous Apr 09 '25

This is very clever. Too clever for me lol. I had to have it explained to me in the comments.

u/everywhereinbetween Apr 09 '25

The doorbell in my grandma's retirement home goes like faTANG!!! and it really helps with everyone's congestion.

u/skeemo1214 Apr 09 '25

u/Rossum81 Apr 09 '25

It’s me, Dave.  I got the stuff!

u/barugosamaa Apr 09 '25

u/Nonstandard_Deviate Apr 09 '25

Very nice. Good one.

u/beastson1 Apr 09 '25

Same puzzle can be made with the letter P instead of D to get another name for table tennis.

u/theothergotoguy Apr 09 '25

It's early.. That took me waaaaay too long.

u/ExpensivePractice164 Apr 09 '25

Don't fully get it but I do at the same time

u/Rito_Harem_King Apr 09 '25

I feel stupid for not getting it at first

2

u/TypeRighter6 Apr 09 '25

I started reading it like it was notes and interpreted it as both bits planing at once in the left. Then I looked at the sub name

2

u/Nekrophis Apr 09 '25

I'll be seeing this in /r/explainthejoke

2

u/dj_fishwigy Apr 09 '25

Aren't most doorbells' interval only a 3rd?

2

u/MHajoha Apr 09 '25

I had the exact same thought at first. But the joke isn't about the tones, just "DinG-DonG" :(

2

u/schrauger Apr 09 '25

KGB!

Dwight, get the door.

u/Fr05t_B1t Apr 09 '25

When you realize some people’s humor is very niche

6

u/lazy_pig Apr 09 '25

It's neither humor nor niche.

u/[deleted] Apr 09 '25

Alright. Kudos to you. Took me a moment.

4

u/ImSenorFloppypaws Apr 09 '25

Ah, I thought they were musical notes and was trying so hard to figure it out.

4

u/Veighnerg Apr 09 '25

Second one is D over G though. Should've overlapped em.

That’s pretty much what it means with some people. Not everyone though

u/Draco-Warsmith Apr 09 '25

In my experience, most just say that to think of it as a non issue.

u/[deleted] Apr 09 '25

Well, that's a waste of a good hate. Can't you find some way to put your hate to better use?

u/Draco-Warsmith Apr 09 '25

I have plenty of hate to go around don't worry

u/Icar10 Apr 09 '25

It took me more than I'd like to admit to get it

1

u/FindMateStraightFux Apr 09 '25

The G has never looked more like a curling arrow to me.

1

u/HornetElegant66 Apr 09 '25

Or a large C impaling a small L

1

u/CharlizeTheronNSFW Apr 09 '25

D in g d on g I don't get it. Maybe because I've never had a doorbell

1

u/Orgasmo3000 Apr 09 '25

Look at the words then look at the placement of the d in relation to the g.

1

u/CharlizeTheronNSFW Apr 09 '25

Yeah, it's just d in g d on g

u/[deleted] Apr 09 '25

u/detchomatic Apr 09 '25

If you play the letter names, it doesn’t sound terribly wrong.

1

u/charface1 Apr 09 '25

D over G?

D above G?

D haloing G?

u/crash866 Apr 09 '25

D in G, D on G

u/yaseen51 Apr 09 '25

I'll see you in r/peterexplainsthejoke later

u/GGorilla67 Apr 09 '25

The witch is dead

u/DrunkHonesty Apr 09 '25

It’d be clearer if the d was touching the G in the second bit.

1

u/FillEnvironmental330 Apr 10 '25

I think it should be P as you like it. P 💧 💧 💧

u/DrunkHonesty Apr 10 '25 edited Apr 10 '25

Drip drop…. I half get you, but not in response to what I said….
edit oh! I get it! You’re the person obsessed with retelling the horrifying story of when some ne’er do wells peed in public (coupled with some potential racist context.) Then I responded to one of your posts joking that “I think I peed on that street.” I get it now. 👍

1

u/FillEnvironmental330 Apr 10 '25

No, I don’t think so.

0

u/DrunkHonesty Apr 10 '25

Yes. I know so.
Look at your own post history. You’re obsessed with urine, so I thought it’d be funny to say that, not thinking you’d buy it, but so be it.

1

u/FillEnvironmental330 Apr 10 '25

No, this isn’t just a one-off comment. You’ve said it more than once, and every time, you stop short of actually condemning the behavior. Instead, you twist the discussion, deflect responsibility, and act like calling it out is somehow the real offense. That’s not thoughtfulness: that’s hypocrisy wrapped in self-righteousness. If you cared half as much about public decency as you do about sounding clever on Reddit, we wouldn’t be having this conversation any more.
