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!
Not specifically a joke, but more intended to make thought processes skip a little and to amuse:
My friend: “Didn’t they teach you grammar at school?”
Me: “no, she didn’t go there.”

…and, if anyone ever tells me to check my pronunciation, I snap back quickly and say it should be proOUNCEiation, while acting as serious as possible.

In around 20 years I have gotten about 30 blank stares and one giggle, once. It was completely worth it.
