Failing to comprehend a joke is always embarrassing. When everyone around is laughing along with whatever joke has been said as you are left standing alone, in confusion, wondering what was just missed. It happens to everyone, and while normally you can get away with it without too much embarrassment, when it happens online for all to see, it is so much worse.

Online, the misunderstanding of the joke, whether it is genuine or not, is broadcasted and everyone can shake their heads and sigh because it doesn't get much more awkward than that.
