Not being in on a joke told amongst a group is always an embarrassing time, but when it happens in person it usually blows over quickly and no one remembers. As with anything, though, the internet is more permanent than that, so the embarrassment lasts forever. There are many documented cases of people missing a joke online, but what makes it worse is that the joke is usually so obvious, that missing it makes it even worse.
