We all make jokes that don’t land, but sometimes we make jokes that should’ve been funny if anyone understood it.
Maybe it was too subtle, or too nuanced like a joke based off work-jargon.
Whatever it was, what joke did you say that should’ve had people in stitches but… didn’t land?
Now is your time!
My cousin was starting driving lessons and asked me if I know any material to know more about cars in general (I don’t know how to drive neither much into cars and she knows that). I suggested to watch Cars documentary on Disney which was so successful that they created 2 sequels
At one of the no kings rallies, I feel something hit me in the back. Turn around to see a small girl running over to get the large Styrofoam sign that the wind had blown out of her hands.
She looks up saying “I’m sorry!”.
“It’s ok, I’m not a space shuttle, I can survive being hit by a foam block”.
Crickets.
It was a rooster! Get it?! A rooster!! (uncontrollable laughter sets in).
I live nearish to a military base so a lot of local businesses have a military/veteran discount.
At the store I buy dog food at, the staff are so tired of asking about it that they have shortened “are you a member of the military?” to “any military?”
After I noticed it a few times that every single employee in the store shortened it that way, I started answering “there is one, but I’m not in it.”
Loooots of blank stares. I stopped since apparently nobody gets it or they don’t think it’s funny. I think it’s the former but idk 🤷
They’re retail employees. They don’t think it’s funny because they’ve likely heard it from a hundred other people.
I made a joke about a roof, but it was over everyone’s heads.
Short version was getting a remote control vibrator for my dog but that’s only because the fancy corection collars with them built in are so expensive
Working in the OR. Anesthesiologist draws up some fentanyl, and I asked him if it was enriched. He looked at me like I’m a dumbass and asked “with what?”
-_-
I make 3d models for 3d printing. Usually cute shit.
I made these little “snow baby” decorations. And I took a photo of them.
One is holding a brick that says “to ices” on it. The other is holding a Molotov cocktail. Literally no one. Not a single one of my friends who knows I would 100% pull this, has noticed.Not a single one.
I posted it twice just to try to get people to look at it again .
Here you are.
It’s not very funny if I have to tell people, you know?
