These 17 jokes were made even better by the people who simply didn’t get them
Anyone who has ever posted a joke online will have experienced several kinds of unwelcome responses: the people who explain your own joke to you, the ones who insist on telling you it wasn’t funny – and then there are the literalists.
Bored Panda collected some fine examples of that last category – people who completely miss that a joke is happening and take it absolutely seriously – from the subReddit r/whoooosh, and we enjoyed them so much that we picked our favourites and found a few more from Reddit.
