What's the funniest thing you've ever posted... that got absolutely no laughs?
 

In the real world I'm pretty funny. I make a lot of people laugh. Online, I'm just ok. Sometimes I really think I've posted something hilarious, though, and get absolutely no laughs for it.

Has this happened to you?

I laugh at my jokes all the time.

Trezelle Jenkins. If that isn't funny, I don't know what is.

I don't get it.

Yes.

But **** them, they don't know what funny is.

My NWO photo bombing that almost got me b4nned

Pretty much this.

It doesn't matter what other people don't get. I know that I'm a funny ****er, and that's all that matters.

You're all laughing on the inside.

In my heart I know I'm funny.

people laugh at me when I'm not trying to be funny.
it's a cruel world.
sec

Great question, it does often happen that I post what I believe to be a funny and it doesn't get a reaction.

The only times I know I'm right though, are when I'm snickering my ass off about it hours later... internet boards are the definition of "fickle audience".

You know people might be laughing at your jokes but not everyone will post LOL's and ROFL's just for your validation...

I've got one from weeks ago that I still think is hilarious.

Of course, after 100 viewings, the Gary Busey commercial still makes me laugh to tears, so my humor is a little odd.

But I need it!!!

Somedays I just stand in front of the mirror and point at myself and laugh, sometimes I give myself an L. sometimes I don't laugh.

That's why I like twitter. You get more and better feedback from your jokes. You could post something here that people think is funny but if they don't rep you or respond you'd never know it.

In any context, Gary Busey = Humor.

I'd like to tour the White House with Chistopher Walken and Gary Busey after drinking some tequila.

LMAO holy shit, doing ANYTHING with those two would be the ultimate hoot... but to throw in "White House tour" kicks it up a notch LMAO

or the Smithsonian. something with a lot of conversation starters.

Sac posted we should draft Gabe Jackson in the first, does that count?

no one laughed at my "there once was a man from Nantucket" poem.

who Ronald raped his butthole and said Mc****itt?

The thing about smart mother****ers is,
They sound like crazy mother ****ers to dumb mother****ers.

I'm a pretty cynical person in general. I hate people for the most part. It's tough to get me to laugh. I love this place though. The old fisty Mctatt thread had me laughing my ass off for weeks. If I try to be funny and you don't laugh? then **** you and everyone that looks like you.

ROFL

LMAO it worked!

Heres a joke guaranteed to KILL!

The movie didn't show it, but Forrest Gump died, yeah its sad.

But he died, and when he arrived at the Pearly Gates, St. Peter came out to greet him... "Forrest, you've been a very good man and its good to see you, but before I can let you in you must answer three questions"

First, how many days of the week start with the letter T?... Forrest thought for a second and said " Today and Tomorrow, sir"... the Angel shook his head but gave in to the logic.

Okay Forrest, how many seconds are there in a year?... Forrest thought again and said "12 sir, January 2nd, February 2nd, March 2nd and on through the year, sir"

The Angel thought to himself for a moment, temporarily perplexed, but agreed that it was a fair answer.

Finally, St. Peter said... "ok Forrest, you've done well... but what is Gods name?"

"Oh that ones easy sir, its Andy" said Forrest, "Andy?!! what on earth makes you think his name is Andy" St. Peter asked... "I learned his name every Sunday in church sir... Andy walks with me Andy talks with me..."

The thread about Sam not being a good athlete.

I said "in drills he always came in a little behind"
Crickets.....

LMAO

When they characterized him as high motor, but undersized and slow, I came up with Boofoo Grigsby

With his Rams, I bet he'll come a little quicker. Especially if he has Fisher watching from behind.

BOOOOOO NOT EVEN BARELY FUNNY!

I suck
Posted via Mobile Device

YES YOU DO... STOP TRYING... AT LIFE!

:p

Me? hell NO I don't suck, just gonna start a three hour Game of Thrones marathon right about now... talk about a ****in WINNER.

Look at the woman you go to bed with. Is she hot? If the answer is no, then you're not funny.

I'm not laughing.

My Houstonwhodat roast. My first ever roast and I thought I did a pretty good job......and it just about put the Roast thread on life support. ****ers. I even shamelessly bumped it, and then watched the thread fall right back off the front page. ****ers.

I even had a line in there about Jimmy Graham looking just white enough for Houstonwhodat to like him....crickets. And then I see someone else post a joke VERY similar to that in a Houstonwhodat thread and he got a bunch of "lol" replies. ****ers.

That shit was funny to me though, so screw you guys. ****ers.

Probably one of these 2:

HA ha ha ha. Love it. That is ****ing hilarious! ROFL

I posted a pic of myself...no one laughed.

Isn't that a good thing?

I'm lucky if I can remember what I had for lunch yesterday... let alone something I thought was funny at the time, or the reaction to it.

______ II: Electric Boogaloo

I just made one the other day. It was the Michael sam cake kiss thread. baby Lee posted the word pussy.

I said "Not in this thread evidently."

So... that happened.

One time, I said fart.

It was pretty goddamn funny.

I judge how funny a post is by the amount of rep received... so most of my posts suck.

I get this more than I'd like...

seclark's a liar.

He produces more funny per word than any poster on this board.

Come on it wasn't that bad?

All Inmem threads are hilarious to me.

For one thing, people do not appreciate good old timey barbershop quartet. Especially featuring NFL quarterbacks.

Can't remember off hand, but I have posted things that made me die laughing and didn't even get a quote.
Posted sarcastically at other times and people thought it was hilarious.
I know I have a weird SOH though.

If you had Fromunda cheese and tube steak for lunch you would remember it---and it would be funny.

Kendick Lewis. Matt Asshole.

No, nothing?

ROFLROFLLMAOLMAOROFL

He acts like it's the funniest thing he's ever seen. And I just sit there wondering.....how?

Will you all please laugh at him though? Cuz after 10 years of being with him, I still laugh.....but it just doesn't hold the same value it used to.

LMAO

I've posted some gems on here that didn't catch on, it happens.

There are some funny mofo's on this board. The comedy here is the main reason I even still browse this forum.

Drunk posts are the best.

Most of the stuff I post that makes me laugh the hardest, and gets the least noticed are tangential puns or obscure references/cross post humor. It's mostly a matter of 'Ohhh, for those few who get this, it'll be great.' So I don't expect a lot of attention from the outset, and I forget what the brouhaha was in short order.

Somewhat analogous to a witty callback in a podcast/Nerdmelt session.

For example, pulled entirely from my ass, what's going to be enduringly funny about an Avengers reference in a discussion of the O-line months later, even if it was hilarious in the moment?

That said, 90% of my rep is some form of laughter.

How in the hell would you even know?

A recent one I thought might get more play

Lately, I've had many instances in which I've been sarcastic and/or was joking about something, and by the sounds of the crickets combined with other users' responses to those posts, people thought I was being serious...which most of the time puzzled me because I thought my sarcasm/references were obvious.

Anyways, one random post that I thought would get a laugh or two was one that I posted in the "Eric Berry Sez there is Big News Today" thread. Eric Berry had posted that there was going to be some big news the same exact day Desean Jackson was cut by the Eagles.

In that thread, I wrote something along the lines of, "THIS JUST IN: Desean Jackson to sign with the Chiefs and Buffalo Bill, Stevie Johnson has been found shot dead. Johnson's death is believed to be gang-related."

All I got was a :hmmm: from Pestilence. The rest was:

The brown spots on the Elephant - are they poo, puke or just spots?

poop.

see below:

I figured the best way to determine the answer to this test was to go through rep comments and post the first neg on the list.

This is the majority of what was in that post for your viewing pleasure. I feel so misunderstood.
