25 Embarrassing Times People Missed An Obvious Joke
Missing the joke is never a fun situation. It's embarrassing. When someone misses a joke in person, usually it is forgotten about fairly quickly, which is nice. When someone misses a joke on the internet, it is eternalized forever. Sometimes people miss a joke because they don't have the context to understand it and other times people miss a joke because they're just that bad at understanding humor. What makes it even worse is when someone tries to correct a joke as if they're super smart and everyone else is dumb.
All of these cases and more can be found on Reddit's /r/woooosh. The name of this subreddit is based on the hypothetical sound a joke makes when it flies over someone's head just like they do in these posts. Here are 25 awkward moments and embarrassing cases of people totally missing the very obvious joke in front of them. Don't get caught being this kind of person.
