Is there a word or term for cliched jokes that are so obvious that almost nobody can resist making the obvious joke?
For example, “fondue”.
Feel free to give other examples.

Okay, I’ll bite … what’s the obvious joke about the word fondue?
Bwhaaaa… oh man, you tell that one better than anyone.
Well, maybe, if he could get the accent right.
“Fondue? More like fondon’t!”
Okay, I got nothin’. I’m with you.
You can’t talk about the 7th planet from the sun without the obvious joke being uttered within about 3 seconds
“Do you need a hand?” “Yes.” ::clap clap clap
I’d call it “that old chestnut”.
Now you’re just talking out your anus.
Anytime anyone asks me if I’d like to join them, I feel duty-bound to answer, “Why? Are you falling apart?” And then I giggle like a school girl for a while. 
Wak this way.
so like when CNN talks about the about the presidential Ball?
What’s a “wak”?
I’ll go with:
“Rectum? Nearly killed 'im!”
If I could wok that way I’d start my own oriental restaurant.
When someone asks an “or” question, simply answering “yes”.
“Would you like chocolate or vanilla ice cream?”
“Yes. Yes, I would.”
Or “does it have to be mutually exclusive?”
like the late Earl Warren
Them: "Surely you’re not going to . . . "
Me: . . . and don’t call me Shirley
In Russia, there are no terms that are so cliched that there is always an immediately obvious joke to be made.
Any use of the word dike, but most especially any mention of the putting of a finger therein.
My nomination would be any word or phrase containing the syllable ‘cock’ or ‘cox’:
stopcock
cockatoo
coxless four
and so on.
Yeah, I’m fond-a you too.
Me: “I’m tired.”
Mom: “Hi, I’m Cathy!”
“I’m hungry.”
“Hi, I’m Cathy.”
“I’m thirsty.”
“Hi, I’m Cathy.”
Mom never got tired of that stupid joke.
My friend: “I feel like Chinese.”
Me: poke. “You don’t feel like Chinese to me.”
