50 Times People Missed The Joke So Bad, They Made Fools Out Of Themselves In Front Of The Whole Internet
You know what's worse than telling a joke and hearing the crickets chirp afterward? The moment, when you thought, that someone else was struck by a case of misinterpretation of a joke, was utterly wrong or knew nothing, only to find out, that all this time it was you who was a captain obvious. For these funny people, whose unfortunate stories we have compiled below, it happened in such a hard way that the funny jokes they have missed turned even better after. Let it be proper condolence if it ever has happened to you, too.
From simply missing a classic short joke to firmly believing that somewhere in the world babies do get boiled during a religious feast instead of being submerged into holy water. From blowing best puns to misquoting famous people, these slightly dim-witted folks surely bit nails after posting their comments wanting to appear smarter than they are.
Some of these people need a bit of training in their sense of humor department, while others will need to learn not to jump too high. Nevertheless, it's kind of impossible to go through the hilarious entries without cringing. Scroll down to check out the good jokes before I spoil too much!

If anything, the person who responded last did get the joke and seamlessly turned it on the opponent. Sometimes it pays to have a point ready.
I cannot ever see or hear the name Frankunsteen without seeing Gene Wilder and Marty Feldman in my head.
I can't hear "Putting on the Ritz" anymore without distorting it in my head.

That one went over their head, through the stratosphere, broke orbit, shot out of our solar system, left our galaxy, and hurtled towards the loneliness at the edge of the Universe. At least, that's what my 4 y/o niece said.
you know, if you say your name and then say "welcome to the joke" like you hade said, it's like you are a producer or something, I can hear it now. "LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, WELCOME TO THE JOKE, A PLACE WHERE WE MAKE JOKES, BUT PEOPLE DON'T UNDERSTAND SOMETIMES." I think i am a dork

I like the refinement of adding such an obvious stock photo to the post and yet it sailed right over peoples' heads...
Actually, I am more annoyed by the lack of punctuation than by the context. Still funny, thus.
Ladies and gentleman skinny and scout I'll tell you a tale I know nothing about The admission is free so pay at the door Now pull out a chair and sit on the floor On one bright day in the middle of the night Two dead boys got up to fight Back to back they faced each other Drew their swords and shot each other The blind man came to see fair play The mute man came to shout hooray The deaf policeman heard the noise And came to stop those two dead boys He lived on the corner in the middle of the block In a two story house on a vacant lot A man with no legs came walking by And kicked the lawman in his thigh He crashed through a wall without making a sound Into a dry creek bed and suddenly drowned A long black hearse came to cart him away But he ran for his life and is still gone today I watched from the corner of the table The only eyewitness to facts of my fable If you doubt my lies are true Just ask the blind man, he saw it too

The moment the comments on this are also worthy of a mention in this list. :D
When you said earlier that you "got the feeling comedy is either dying or already dead", I was about to tell you that it was pessimist, because the idiots stand out in a crowd, that they are just more noticeable... Ok, I was wrong. There is a whole world of idiots. But the good news, is that Ladies and Gentlemen is not even close de "run out of stupids" ;p

My b.c. gave me a hicky and the next day I went to spend time with my ex. It was in a perfect location to be a burn from my curling iron. So...I tapped my hot iron on it a few times to make it look acceptable lol.
There's a part of me that wishes that this was a double-miss, and that the OP was suckered too... ;-)

And as I always wonder, since they've had so many Ted Talks when will there be a Ted Listens?
TODD Talks are pretty good, too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vvtp-dKfbco
I get the joke, but I have no idea what TED talks is. Never heard of that. Is that a show ?
TED talks are informative/engaging speeches and presentations given in the form of short seminars to a large audience.TED (Technology, Entertainment, Design) is a media organization which posts talks online for free distribution, under the slogan "ideas worth spreading". Talks are limited to a maximum length of 18 minutes but may be on any topic. Here's the TEDx website's explanation of selection criteria: "TED looks for engaging, charismatic speakers whose talks expose new ideas that are supported by concrete evidence and are relevant to a broad, international audience." best one I've seen is James Veitch: replying to spam emails. Honestly it always has me in tears definitely worth a watch! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_QdPW8JrYzQ

Why? Because it’s a queen? She’s a human being that like all of us need to leave a fart or poo once in a while. I show respect for people that deserve my respect. I don’t know her, and she knows nothing about me. So no reason to show so-called ‘respect’

A few things to remember: The French start every day with pain. No matter how nice your children are, German ones are kinder. The Spanish always leave when they see a sale. All Italian boys are bimbos. The Swedes have sex every morning and every evening. Many Poles use preservatives in the bedroom.
There's a brand of crackers called "Le pain de fleurs", meaning The bread of flowers, but it looks like the pain of flowers.
If the Irish pubs adopted this policy, they would do just fine, since half the people in the U.S. claim to be Irish.
Most white people in America are either of Irish or English decent.
Load More Replies...Greeks actually love it when you join in their culture. A lot of cultures actually make it a goal to export part of their culture, like how Western states tried by threat of death to export liberalism. Japan and Korea are more than happy to export their pop culture because economically it is great for them. K-pop, manga, anime, and even societal standards. The culture that exports the best typically has the most control as their ideas and values become standard, therefore, profitable. It is called imperialism and it is highly desirable for many nations.
And added note about the other Asian culture, there's a video and multiple articles about how the Chinese don't mind when foreigners wear qipao and the like as well, I'm sure this convo stems from how people were attacking that poor girl from wearing a Chinese dress.

they thought it was a legit complaint with a joke on top, so they just ignored the joke and started to investigate the problem.

Oh god, this reminds me of my old wifi name "teabags pleasure dome". Had to call tech support, the indian woman on the line helping was all "ohhh I love tea so much, it's so delicious, what kind of tea's do you sell there??" i almost died
They even included @Shitjokes in their response and still didn't see it.
That is just typical Virgin Media not getting the joke. I thought it was funny as f*ck.

The answer by purple7122 is symptomatic for so many discussions on the internet. Many people are so outraged by small errors that they cannot even see the bigger picture or, in this case, the joke. It’s as if his/her brain stopped processing any information after reading the words Star Trek.

"Friendzone".... I'm tired of this word. If you act nice toward a woman just to get in her bed, you're not a nice guy nor a friend so, you're just in the "douchezone".
Women do that too, just saying. But I agree with he douche-zone thing. I think all people are douches at some point
Load More Replies...Actually silmarillion1, the guy who 'just' acts nice to or just does nice things for a woman so that woman will agree to a romantic or sexual relationship with him will think he's been 'friendzoned' if the woman doesn't want to be in that kind of relationship with him. In other words, when just being a woman's friend isn't good enough for him, if the 'friendship' he has with her doesn't become sexual than that kind of guy thinks he's been 'friendzoned'. What he doesn't realize is that the woman probably assumed all along that he was her friend, because to a woman that's what being a friend is - you help each other when your friend needs help. You don't just help a person because you want to get in their bed.
Be worse if they hired clumsy ones - think of all that bad luck!!!

Eight years of Obama's administration saw two major storms hit the US: Sandy and Matthew. Less than two years into Trump's administration, and we've seen Harvey, Irma, and Maria in 2017, and now Florence in 2018. It's almost like Mother Nature is trying to tell us something, or Trump's hot air is effecting the weather in the worst way.

The "joke" about the myth that is the nonexistent black father isn't funny, and is hurtful instead. Black dads are the BEST and it simply isn't true that they aren't around more so than any other race. Not feeling this, or the s****y comments from the racists these days that just love to publicly patronize a negative stereotype based on race any chance they get. Not cool.
A black boy of about 12 was making fun of me for being homeless, so I finally said, "boy, I could be your daddy." He said, "no you can't, my daddy's BLACK!" I said "how do you know that?" and he started crying and left.
If you look at this in another way, I can relate. But, XD!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We have come to the point that you have to warn people: "What's coming now is a joke. If you're allergic to jokes than skip this section. On the other hand if you're looking for a reason to be offended, do read on."
