Default Is this joke not funny?
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?

It's possibly the greatest joke ever told.

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

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

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

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

You're the one turning this into an argument. For what reason? I have no idea. 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.
