Date: 2009-11-24 05:10 pm (UTC)"A penguin walks into a bar. He looks up at the bartender and says, 'Ow.'"
It was particularly popular because of the appearance of the penguin, which appealed to a dumber audience (e.g., "Yay, penguin!") and also could represent a certain operating system for the geeks.

"A penguin walks into--ow."
