Why did the broccoli go to the party?

Because it was a cool stalk!

Why This Joke Works

"Cool stalk" sounds like "cool stock" โ€” slang for being a respected, popular figure. And broccoli is literally made of stalks. The broccoli attending the party on the basis of its stalky charisma is a social credential we didn't know broccoli had earned.
