Why did the chicken cross the road?

all of the above

Calling it a pun is absolute YouTuber/TV Tropes/Cinema Sins/Redditor brain. Absolute retcon job. Don't entertain this shit for a second

'cross' obviously means 'make the road angry', i.e. the road is unhappy the chicken has mocked it by reaching the other side (heaven)

but the chicken has angered it in order to summon a road vehicle to achieve this, obv. it is mocking the road from the hereafter

even if it had the spirit meaning that’s not a pun, it’s a double entendre

sorry but the original joke makes the answer clear:

Q: Why was the chicken crucified at the crossroads?
A: It consumed the flesh of a cloven-hoofed animal during Shrovetide

The fun thing about We Just Learned What The Chicken Joke Is Actually About And Mind Blown is that the made up version is much worse than the true one that everyone gets instantly

Also yeah not a pun that’s not what a pun is

Chickens aren't noted for having suicidal tendencies, fatally undermining the entire premise of the Double Entendre Hypothesis.

All I wanted was a food pellet
Just one food pellet

ascribing anthropomorphic motives to poultry is a bourgeois act of pseudo-intellectual decadence, and it is a disgrace to make any sort of joke while Trump is in the White House.
