15 Times Where People Completely Missed the Joke

Have you ever been in a social situation where someone says something, everyone starts laughing, and you wonder what they’re laughing at? Maybe you politely laugh too so you don’t look like you missed the joke (even though you did), or maybe you sit there wondering what’s so funny.

We’ve probably all been there at one point in time. Many jokes involve a little bit of thinking in order to “get” why they’re funny. Sometimes we might miss the joke’s setup, or we didn’t get enough sleep that night and our brain isn’t working fast enough. If you know anything about a joke, you know that it’s no longer funny if you have to explain why it’s supposed to be funny.

Scroll down to see 15 examples of witty jokes that some people didn’t understand. The fact that they didn’t understand is it’s own sort of funny.
