When I was a little kid there would be these jokes which would start with, “What’s grosser than gross?” The other kid would say, “I don’t know.” and the punch line would be delivered. Two I remember off of the top of my head were: What’s grosser than gross? Two vampires fighting over a bloody tampon. What’s grosser than gross? Getting a hard-on and running out of skin. And I think there was one about having sex with a pregnant woman and the baby giving head. Anyway, what things can you add that are “grosser than gross?” ---

I thought the format was different. I always heard these jokes in the following form: Q: Know what’s gross? R: What? Q: [some mildly gross thing]. But you know what’s _grosser than gross_? R: What?! Q: [some horribly gross thing related to the first gross thing] The only one I can remember went like this: Q: Know what’s gross? R: What? Q: Finding a hair in your food. Know what’s grosser than gross? R: What? Q: It’s your grandma’s pubic hair. ---

What’s grosser than gross? When you jump off a 10-story building and your eyeball gets caught on a nail. What’s grosser than gross? Ten dead babies in a garbage can. What’s grosser than that? One dead baby in ten garbage cans. What’s grosser than gross? When you throw your underwear and it sticks to the wall. What’s grosser than that? Watching it crawl down. What’s grosser than that? Watching it crawl back up again. What’s grosser than that? Watching it fly back at you! These were the zenith of humor when I was in elementary school. ---

Or you name one gross thing, then name something grosser than that, and sometimes even grosser than grosser than gross. 😃 ---
