Is this joke not funny?

[zenon]

The Scottish TV comedy show Only An Excuse had this joke on a mock news ticker which read...

'Jo Swinson loses seat, how will she sit down'?

... in reference to the ex Lib Dem leader losing her place in parliament, yet someone on Twitter as one of many viewers who have slammed the show over recent years did not find it funny even though I found it hilarious. Do you think this joke is funny or not?

[Marsh.]

Nope.

[The Slim Reaper]

It's possibly the greatest joke ever told.

[The Slim Reaper]

Nope.

You just don't get it. I admit it's quite layered and uses subtle misdirection, but look, if she loses her seat, how will she sit down? It's funny, because it's both hilarious and genuinely mystifying. I mean, how can anyone sit down without a seat? Brilliant.

Made me chuckle :laugh: And if someone didnt why take to twitter about it, its not something to obsess over

I guess just sit on the floor?

He just said someone on twitter didn't find it funny, who obsessed?

The person who took to social media to tell everyone they didn't find a joke funny, that's kinda obsessive to my mind :laugh:

Someone takes to twitter/forum/internet to comment on something they've watched on the television?

Goodness me when did that start? :joker: It won't catch on. :idc:

to moan about a joke they didn't find funny, I could understand it if the joke was edgy or crossed the line but its pretty inoffensive, and not really worth the discussion, so I shall leave it there with you Marsh, maybe you could go and argue with Slim as he quoted you, I didn't, if you want to have the last word as usual feel free, I am done with this

[Jessica.]

very bland joke

You're the one turning this into an argument. For what reason? I have no idea. :shrug: Why get personal?

All I said was I don't find commenting on something someone's watched on the TV and saying they don't find a joke funny has anything to do with complaining or accusing it of being offensive nor controversial. You've added all of that yourself.

But, you seem to have a problem with people quoting you on a forum so I'll leave you to your mood.
