15 People Embarrassing Themselves By Missing The Joke Entirely

It is embarrassing for anyone to miss the point or the punchline of a joke at any time. Luckily, if someone misses the joke in a group of their friends it generally isn't remembered for very long. Usually, it is a second or two of sighs and groans and facepalms to shame the person who missed the joke then everyone moves on. Online though everything is a little more permanent. Missing the point of a meme or joke online is there to stay forever, especially if it's screenshotted and shared to Reddit's /r/woooosh. The title of this subreddit refers to the sound the hypothetical joke makes when it flies over someone's head. Not understanding that, ironically, could place someone in the subreddit themselves.

This subreddit features all of the worst and most embarrassing times people missed the joke. Whether it be a genuine mistake, or someone trying to show off how smart they are by correcting the joke that everyone else is in on. Here are 15 cringeworthy and laughable times the joke flew right past someone's radar, which was maybe even funnier than the original joke itself.
