20 People Who Totally Missed The Joke

There's been times in all of our lives that we didn't understand a joke right away. In the moment it is a little embarrassing, but when the moment passes, you either catch on or someone has to obliterate the comedy by explaining it to you, leaving you feeling dense. To be fair, certain jokes are just too subtle or niche to get right away, and in that case, it's okay. We've all been there at one point or another, and it's difficult to decipher different types of humor once in a while.

The real issue arises when a joke is so obvious that someone has to have been living under a rock to not understand them or not even catch on to the sarcasm. It's like it just flies right over their heads, hence the Reddit subreddit titled /r/woooosh. This subreddit is curated to collect the moments caught on screen in real-time of times the joke went right over someone's head. Here are 20 awkward moments of missing the point.
