'You've no idea' isn't grammatically correct either, it's just less obvious.

You could say 'you have no idea,' or 'you have got no idea' interchangeably.

'You've got no idea' would be a correct contraction.

The reason 'You've no idea' feels correct and 'will you've sex' from the original doesn't is because our brains are trained to sort of skip over, or add in if need be, the existential verbs, like 'is' and 'got.'

These carrion jokes seem to be in lately. Some decades ago I happened on two turkey buzzards tearing apart a dead rabbit. They got scared and took off. It was the first I ever saw a vulture flap its wings. They usually float on thermals. Now I wonder if they were looking for a new way to use that joke.
