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!
I quote the original Tron a fuckton. “Greetings, Programs!” when I get into work and people are looking for me. Calling people Null Unit. Or last night when someone made a suggestion and I said “no no no no no no” in a sort of higher pitched monotone and none of my friends got it. I was quoting Bit.
I do that with Babylon 5 sometimes. Poor people don’t know the hilarity they’re missing.
Picking through avocados at the grocery store in a Zathras voice saying, “not the One, not the One, not the One…” sigh
I would have DIED at the sight of this in the store, if your Zathras was even remotely passable so I got the joke.
Yo. Don’t waste your time with those inoperative data pushers.
I frequently tell my wife, “Nonsense poopy pants!” I don’t think she’s ever seen Ace Ventura When Nature Calls. I sometimes also say in a very open parking lot, “Now if only I could find a parking space.”
Not quite a joke, but I quote It’s Always Sunny pretty often. I love the show, but my partner has never watched it, so he never gets those quotes. There are even times when he says something from the show and I laugh, then have to explain that he would understand if he watched the show.
He still won’t watch it 😑
