35 Jokes That Didn’t Get the Laughs They Deserved

When your joke bombs, the mature thing to do is take it in stride. However, there are times when it’s appropriate to blame your audience for being too stupid to get it. For instance, a Redditor recalled the time he was viewing a house, which was listed as a “fixer-upper” with 2.5 baths. The place was in shambles, and the realtor “had yet to realize” his disgust. As they were leaving the viewing, the Redditor noticed a toilet with a box around it sitting in the driveway. He gasped and jokingly asked, “Is that the half bath?”

The realtor didn’t laugh, and calmly responded that the half bath was inside. 

Other Redditors have commiserated about the jokes they’ve told that didn’t land, and though no one laughed at the time, we can all give them a proper chuckle now.
