The Only Correct Way To Spell It Is
Rali Meyer 5 months ago
Müller! I didn't see you at Camouflage exercise yesterday! - Sir, thank you Sir.
Humor is a slippery beast. It's half linguistic puzzle, half cultural handshake, and half utter chaos. What sends a person into gales of laughter will leave another person gazing expressionlessly, unsure if they've just stumbled into the middle of a joke from a parallel universe. That's why the idiom "It flew over their head" is a thing, it's code for "they were in the wrong place when the humor frisbee whizzed by."
Then, the self-obvious: "humor is subjective". What makes it subjective is not just "taste" in exactly the same way that you might like pineapple on pizza (and someone else would consider that an act of culinary t*******m). It's a question of background, language, cultural references, and even mood. A joke that's sidesplitting to you right after you've had coffee might b**b if you're hearing it on two hours' sleep while you're stuck in rush-hour traffic behind a cement truck.

"Straight" Over Their Head

Reasonable though, the amount of people who ask the question repeatedly, presumably until they get an answer they like or can't sneer at. Which will never happen. So you have to answer as if it's an honest question.

Not if you get the joke, which is the point.
Load More Replies...
Then there's the style problem. Slapstick is some people's favorite, big, loud, physical comedy where somebody gets hit in the face with a pie. Some go for dry humor, where you need a magnifying glass and perhaps a thesaurus to find the joke. If you're a pie-throwing comedian performing for an audience of subtle-sarcasm enthusiasts, you're going to receive a lot of confused, polite smiles. On the other hand, if you deliver a witty Shakespeare pun to someone who believes "Hamlet" is only a breakfast order, your punchline might as well be in Morse code.

Cultural context adds another layer. Humor often leans on shared knowledge: a TV show everyone’s seen, a meme making the rounds, or a bit of local gossip that’s gone viral. Without that shared foundation, the scaffolding that holds the joke up just isn’t there. Imagine telling an American political satire joke to someone who’s never set foot in the U.S., you might as well be performing interpretive dance without music.

Timing, too, is everything. Humor depends often on surprise, rhythm, and pacing. Hit somebody with a punchline too early and you're giving away the twist; hit them too late and your listener's mind has wandered off to consider lunch. Worse, if the listener is mentally multitasking, half-listening while they scroll through their phone, they might miss the setup, and then your joke comes off as a bizarre, contextless comment.

And, of course, there's the "personal filter". Every hearer listens to a joke through the lens of his or her life experience, personality, and values. If a joke tramples on a topic they despise or are sensitive about, they won't laugh, not because they didn't understand, but because the humor didn't pass through their mental customs checkpoint.

This is where the "flies over the head" moment becomes interesting. It's not always an issue of intelligence or attention; it's a question of perspective sometimes.

And here’s the secret: “that’s fine”. Not getting a joke isn’t a moral failing, and telling a joke that doesn’t land isn’t necessarily a sign of comedic bankruptcy. It just means that, at this moment, the humor frisbee didn’t quite align with your catching hand. Another joke will come along; maybe you’ll catch that one. So the next time you're greeted with a blank expression after your punchline, don't panic. Just smile, toss the frisbee again, and hope that this time it's flying in the right direction.

If it's a consistent string of complex characters, it's Chinese, if it has an inordinate amount of circular(ish) shapes, it's Korean, and if it's short bursts of complex characters punctuated by simple roundish character and sometimes strings of sharp and jagged characters, it's Japanese. Can't read the Chinese and Korean variants, for the record, just recognize them. Even with Japanese, looking up words by radical is a nightmare.

Beethoven Is My Favorite Rapper
Mir Adwari 5 months ago
Time for my favourite Beethoven joke: The town drunk was walking through a cemetery and heard some strange noises coming from the area where Beethoven was buried. Terrified, the drunk ran and got the priest to come and listen to it. The priest bent close to the grave and heard some faint, unrecognizable music coming from the grave. Frightened, the priest ran and got the town magistrate. When the magistrate arrived, he bent his ear to the grave, listened for a moment, and said, "Ah, yes, that's Beethoven's Ninth Symphony, being played backwards." He listened a while longer, and said, "There's the Eighth Symphony, and it's backwards, too. Most puzzling." So the magistrate kept listening; "There's the Seventh... the Sixth... the Fifth..." Suddenly the realisation of what was happening dawned on the magistrate; he stood up and announced to the crowd that had gathered in the cemetery, "My fellow citizens, there's nothing to worry about. It's just Beethoven decomposing."

It's hard to tell whether all of these people are actually stupid. I agree with some of the comments above that they might be pretending to miss the joke to be ironic.

Some of these I could see people just taking something at face value or earnestly, or just brainfarting. I don't think I'm the dumbest person but sometimes I'll miss a joke or two just because I wasn't really paying attention. I think that happens to most people.
