jokes you've made IRL that flopped

I tell very few "jokes." Normally, I am just saying funny stuff.

But my worst flub of all-time was when I was drunker than Hogan's goat one night, and decided to ask a full table of fellow drinkers...

"Hey--why is a blind man's penis erect?"

"I don't know...why?"

"Because he's blind."

I literally had to stand up and leave the room.

I don't get it.

The only joke I've bombed was a Timoty McVeigh joke.

It's the only joke he's ever made.

Did you guys just completely not get it or something?

When I had intro chemistry a couple years back my professor had a subtle, dry sense of humor. Out of a class of 60 or so there was me and one other guy who would laugh at everything he said. Everyone else just hated him with a passion. The answers he gave to questions were never direct and always made the person who asked look stupid, but it was funny as hell. He pretty much flopped 4 jokes per class for an entire semester and pissed 95% of the class off while doing so. Awesome professor.

Wasn't it the point of the thread?

all this talk by so many people about how when their jokes bomb it's because the audience was too stupid to get it, and apparently not a single one of you noticed when the GrammarPolice gimmick account pretty much won the thread

I'm afaird someone's going to have to explain that one. It just looked like a standard correction to me. What am I missing?

The next day, this woman comes in and shows us a video on physical abuse. The video shows some guy coming home to his wife and 2 kids; he starts an argument w/ the wife. Evenually he starts hitting her in front of the kids and she falls on the ground and he starts kicking her in the head. It was actually pretty graphic, which surprised me. Anyway, just as he's about to stomp on her head, the social woman pauses the video to talk about it; I say, "Finish Her!". About 1/2 the class gasps in shock, the other half are trying not to laugh. My teacher got pissed and sent me to the principal's office.

Does anyone remember these weird abuse videos? I can't help but laugh at them

It's like 1 am and the grill is inexplicably COVERED in bacon. I feign looking at the menu, point, and say, "Yes I'd like the TWELVE POUNDS OF BACON, please." Stare.

This tanked because 3 people just came in and said the same thing. It is hard to say anything original and funny to people while they are working.

so you're saying that you didn't really think it was funny and that it didn't make you laugh?

nath,

Did you not get the first McVeigh joke, the great followup, both, or neither?
