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!

I was raised Baptist and they dunk you completely under water. I was 7 and I was terrified.

If the Irish pubs adopted this policy, they would do just fine, since half the people in the U.S. claim to be Irish.

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.

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".

You can't bring in outside food. They want to charge you $5 for a bucket of day old popcorn covered in "butter."
