50 Times People Missed The Joke So Badly They Made Fools Out Of Themselves Online (Best Of All Time)
Interview With ExpertNo matter what level of comedian we think we are, it so happens that our brains occasionally freeze, making us completely oblivious to humor. For some, these unfortunate moments of weakness happen online, where they remain forever for everyone to see.
However, finding the bright side of it is better than trying to outlive the dread of making a silly mistake on the Internet. That’s where the r/woooosh subreddit comes in, nobly sharing missed jokes for anyone who needs a humorous pick-me-up. Check out the best they have to offer down below and don’t forget to upvote your favorites.
While you’re busy laughing and cringing at the same time, don’t forget to check out a conversation with business humorist, author, podcaster, and multi-TEDx speaker Lisa David Olson, as well as NY Times bestselling humorist, New Yorker cartoonist, and editor of the humor newsletter Bob Eckstein, who agreed to tell us why some people miss the joke.

Really funny. That being said, tthis person isn't necessarily dense, they could be a non-native speaker and just simply not know that dense has multiple meanings, and assuming someone accidentally wrote the same thing twice instead of thinking about the possibility that it might have more meanings, isn't that stupid.
As a non-native English speaker, I assume there is different meaning for dense, but I don't know them (I'll check it right after this comment)

He explains that our worlds have never been more different. Someone on the other side of the planet might curate a list of the most famous people in the world, and it’s possible he wouldn’t know any of them, and vice versa.
“We used to say humor is universal. That portion of comedy that everyone can understand and relate to is shrinking,” he adds.

Actually, I have some data that could answer this. It's only a single data point, but that's better than zero. So my former roommate would, for some reason, loudly converse on his phone while in the bathroom or shower, and given the paper thin walls here I know he conversed in Polish. Combined with the insane temperatures he set every thermostat he saw to, we can conclude that in the molten core of the Earth, they speak loud Polish
Clearly they haven't heard of uni-cores.
Load More Replies...However, my answer to this: "life as we know it" can only exist in a VERY narrow range of places right here on Earth. "life as we don't know it" could exist anywhere: the bottom of the ocean, the moons of Jupiter, the surface of the sun ... or the core of the Earth. There could be forms of life so different to everything we know that, if we encountered them, we might not even realize we had encountered life at all.
I Mean He Was Trying To Be Helpful
Decades ago, in college I was giving directions to a friend. I told her "take a left and then straight for 2 blocks". She responded "I only go forward, never straight". It took me a sec then I fell down laughing.

Meanwhile, Olson suggests that sarcasm may be one of the culprits behind a joke going over people’s heads. In fact, she tells us that it’s “the main essence of humor.”
While trying to understand witticism, she says that education levels matter as well. And if you have to add “you had to be there,” chances are that your joke is not going to resonate with your audience.
How Could You Forget
This whole post is cracking me up. This was really needed this morning

I think in fact the lengthy list is complete, I've checked and nothing is missing.
Load More Replies...On the other hand, Olson mentions that self-deprecating humor tends to be the one people find the easiest to understand. She illustrates this with an example: ‘I’m a hardworking person. Everything becomes harder when I’m working on it. I made a pallet last week from an old coffee table.’
She adds, “Gently teasing yourself ensures others can’t be the first to make fun of you and shows, ‘Hey! I’m a joke-making machine!’”

"This cartoon enclosed may be relatable only to those of a certain age group, but for many, it is all too relatable.”

Her way of helping overweight people on her TV show, You Are What You Eat, was to basically ridicule and humiliate them and force them to defecate in a tupperware box. Almost all of her 'expert' opinions about nuitrion and health were debunked by actual doctors.
Poop in a box was definitely a kink because it was just so stupid and even after getting called out by real medical professionals she still wouldn't back down with the Poop stuff

Likewise. I feel like I would fall for this one 😆
Load More Replies...Ok, hear me out. I love puns and forced reinterpretation jokes but they never make me laugh. I find them amusing and appreciate how clever some are. But what does make me laugh are the comments stating the obvious in the comments. I find them so funny that I will add them to comments if they are not already there. I know it annoys people and it is seen as genuine and dumb but I feel it only adds to the humor. Maybe it's just my sense of humor.
You enjoy feeling superior to others, what better place than the comments section?
Load More Replies...We were also curious to know if it’s possible to improve one’s understanding of humor. Olsen says it can be difficult. “Sarcasm is a tough area for many. Especially if there are language barriers, age differences, or ethnic variations of those around. Sarcasm isn’t universal. If one has to say “Just kidding” or “That was a joke,” it’s time to switch your style for the group you’re with.”

To heck with the setup and the moronic response. I'm here to applaud the amazing gift wrapping talent.
However, it’s not impossible. To prove this, she kindly shared her son’s inspiring journey to humor. “One of our sons is on the autistic spectrum and used to laugh when others laughed. When it was realized he was mirroring, we worked to explain jokes in a broken-down method. Years later, he’s performing improv on stages. Taking the time to work at humor matters. It’s also how we learn from each other and about each other.”

Meanwhile, Eckstein believes that something that can help is being well-read and open-minded. He also adds, “There’s no crime for not getting a joke. I like to say that if EVERYONE gets the joke, it cannot be great but is probably bland enough that people with little or no sense of humor find it funny. When it comes to humor, quality over quantity.”

She adds, "Humor is a connector. Including those around you in on the fun is a fantastic way to share a laugh, experience joy, and leave laughter in your wake.”

Sagging that far seems silly. It's hard to look cool when you walk like a penguin.

What???? That's the explanation? I thought it was a group of animals in their human disguise to do shopping?
When dudes are sagging, you can usually see the top of their *ss-crack, so the picture must be the only logical explanation.
His pants are almost completely down. How is he even able to walk? How is that comfortable?
Sagging has been around since slavery, but was "popularized" in the 90's by hip-hop artists due to jails/prisons not allowing belts. What I don't understand is criminals sagging because you can't run as efficiently from the scene of a crime.
It's disgusting. Ur a grown man! Grow up and start acting/looking like one!

A lot of these are really close to home for me. I'm on the spectrum and can understand very overt sarcasm, but often times I can't genuinely tell if that is the joke itself.

I have a friend also on the spectrum who cannot understand a single social cue unless you say in the most literal way what you are feeling or trying to imply. But I also suck at doing just that. So I have no way to tell her that I don’t give a c**p about the dream smp
