It's never fun to miss out on a joke. Not being a part of a joke is embarrassing, especially when you are the only one not in on it. In some cases, being the odd one out is acceptable and understandable. Sometimes, the joke is an inside joke; sometimes, it is misheard, and sometimes, it needs some context to fully understand. It is still awkward, but people will forget about it.

Other times, the joke is so obvious that if someone were to miss it, it's just plain embarrassing for them. This happens a lot, though, especially online. Whether it's someone correcting the joke to make themselves seem smarter or someone truly not understanding sarcasm, it's entertaining and cringeworthy to see someone fail so hard at getting a joke.
