25 Embarrassing Times People Missed The Joke Completely

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.
