Everyone has missed a joke at some point in their lives, and it is not fun. Sometimes, a person misses out on critical context pertaining to the joke, making it unable to understand, or someone hears something incorrectly. Sometimes, a person doesn't understand the joke, like with inside jokes or science jokes, and sometimes the joke just flies over a person's head, which is just 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. Sometimes, it's a question of whether someone missed the joke on purpose in an attempt to look intelligent, or if someone really was that oblivious.

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.
