Beethoven Is My Favorite Rapper
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.
