It's never fun to miss out on a joke, and at some point, everyone has found themselves not understanding a joke being told. Sometimes, a person misses out on a critical part of the joke, making it unable to understand, or someone hears something incorrectly. Sometimes a person doesn't know the context of a joke so they can't get it, like with inside jokes, and sometimes the joke just flies over a person's head, which is so embarrassing.

When someone misses a joke in person, usually it can be played off and forgotten fairly easily. People don't remember things like that, usually. When someone misses a joke online, though, it's so much worse because it is on there forever and ever. The Internet is permanent, so everyone will see that awkward moment. It's even worse when the joke is insanely obvious. Sometimes, it's a question of whether someone missed the joke on purpose trying to act smart, which is arguably even more cringeworthy.

Common sense was not so common in these cases. Take a moment to see just how someone missed a very obvious joke, and see what they did about it. Don't end up being one of these people, it's just cringe.
