15 Embarrassing Times People Missed The Joke Completely

Being the only one left out of a joke is never a fun time. It feels awkward and embarrassing to realize someone has said a joke and you're the only one who doesn't get it. Whether it's a cruel case of an inside joke or a joke that you just missed, it feels off. Some people miss the joke so badly though that it almost seems like they have done it on purpose. It's like they feel superior to be the ones correcting the joke or maybe they are just that out-of-touch to not be able to realize blatant sarcasm when it's right in front of them.
