Can you please explain the last joke you made that you're sure no one got? (lemmy.world)

We all make jokes that don't land, but sometimes we make jokes that should've been funny if anyone understood it.

Maybe it was too subtle, or too nuanced like a joke based off work-jargon.

Whatever it was, what joke did you say that should've had people in stitches but... didn't land?

Now is your time!

I quote the original Tron a fuckton. "Greetings, Programs!" when I get into work and people are looking for me. Calling people Null Unit. Or last night when someone made a suggestion and I said "no no no no no no" in a sort of higher pitched monotone and none of my friends got it. I was quoting Bit.

    I do that with Babylon 5 sometimes. Poor people don't know the hilarity they're missing.

    Picking through avocados at the grocery store in a Zathras voice saying, "not the One, not the One, not the One..." sigh

    I frequently tell my wife, "Nonsense poopy pants!" I don't think she's ever seen Ace Ventura When Nature Calls. I sometimes also say in a very open parking lot, "Now if only I could find a parking space."

    Not quite a joke, but I quote It’s Always Sunny pretty often. I love the show, but my partner has never watched it, so he never gets those quotes. There are even times when he says something from the show and I laugh, then have to explain that he would understand if he watched the show.

    He still won’t watch it 😑
