In sarcasm, the literal text says one thing, but the true meaning is the exact opposite — and that’s where the humor lies. But some people’s comedy radar is a bit broken, and they tend to take certain jokes literally.
For example, someone shared a picture poking fun at a sign, claiming it marked “reserved parking for people twerking at barbecues.” Right on cue, a self-proclaimed genius jumped into the comments to patiently explain that the icon actually shows a pregnant person next to a baby stroller. As if we had no idea.
We’ve rounded up some of the absolute best online posts where satire and dry wit flew straight over people’s heads. Watching clueless commenters aggressively explain the joke makes the whole thing ten times funnier. Scroll down and enjoy the second-hand embarrassment.
