The point of the game is to get the person on the "park bench" to leave.  Although it's not mandatory to leave after an attempt, it's polite.  However if the attempt to move you involves nailing Christ to a Crucifix, claiming you're Michael Jackson, yelling, "Raaaaaiiiiinnnn!", or throwing a large chicken at you, by no means should you move.  Usually, the jokes involve being overly sexual (something which in reality wouldn't scare a CTYer), saying something gross, or offering to remove some body organ from the person.
