    If you have to explain a joke, it’s probably not funny.

    I got it and it still wasn’t funny. Maybe you’re just not funny.

      If you have to explain a joke, it’s probably not funny. I got it and it still wasn’t funny.

      That would be enough by itself, harsh but reasonable.

      Maybe you’re just not funny.

      Now that’s just mean and uncalled for.

        I guess the only criticism you’re used to is praise.

        That would distort how you perceive your humor.

          Actually the fist statement you made is a criticism on the joke.

          The second statement is a generalized assumption on OPs character traits.

          To assume someone just isn’t funny (in general) by reading one of their comments reveals a lot about how dense you are.
