30 Funny Jokes That Take a Few Seconds to Get

Whether it’s the current news cycle or the microplastics in our brain, it can sometimes take a minute for a joke to sink in. That doesn’t mean it isn’t funny, but we’ve all experienced a delayed reaction to such a joke. 

For example, one Redditor told a dumb blonde joke that, for a split second, had them wondering if they were as dumb as the women in question. It goes like this: Two blondes are eating breakfast together when one tells the other, “I slept with two Brazilian guys last night!” The other blonde then replies with great surprise, “Wow! I don’t think I’ve even met that many guys!” 

Pretty clever. 

Other Redditors have shared the jokes they like that require a little bit of extra thought, and I’ll be honest, I’m still ruminating on the one about the architect and the TV.
