‘That’s intense… like camping’
20 Jokes It Took People a Long Time to Get

Everyone has experienced the “Ohhhh!” lightbulb moment when something clicks. In nightmare scenarios, it means realizing way after the fact that someone was flirting with you (I’m really sorry for bringing it up). But in the best-case scenario, it means a joke told days, weeks or years before has finally landed in your head. 

At any rate, Redditors have left their shame at the door and admitted the nuances, double entendres and punchlines that took them embarrassingly long to get, and there’s one or two here that will hit me later down the road, too.
