I can relate. You make a throwaway comment about how your wife doesn’t let you come with her to the hardware store because you’ll inevitably staple a finger to a display stand and someone always always replies to harrumph about wasting staples you obviously don’t plan to buy*.

*Example only. Srsy guys.

This and restating the joke/comment you made in a slightly different way, sometimes also concluded with a “FTFY”.

I made a joke the other day about how some people don’t pay attention and forget they have to pay at the register. Some dude in the comments lit me up about him having arthritis and how I’m an insensitive asshole because he can’t hold a credit card.

Like dude, obviously I’m make a general joke and observation and am not commenting on your bitch-ass traitorous joints. Chill tf out.

When you make a joke, you must accept the risk – and honestly, inevitability – of it not being funny. Refusing to accept this risk is what makes so many “comedians” into insecure shills.

Yea, the only people I know who use this shitty excuse are trying to mask toxic bullshit behind a humorous facade and scream “it’s just a joke bro” when they get called out on it.

at least I think I’m funny eh

Me: “I’m going to make a joke”

Me: proceeds to say the most obnoxious, offensive, and flatly banal thing you’ve ever heard in your life.

Me: Waggling eyebrows “Get it? Huh? Huh?”

Are you taking it seriously or are you seriously taking it?

Or debbie downers. There was a comic strip about being a hero to your kids like in an RPG and the first comment I see is something like “you must have come from a loving family as not all parents are heros.” Did you really need to say that? We know life isn’t all sunshine and rainbows.

If it makes you feel better this is probably a “spreading hate” ban on reddit because neck beards.

Yeah, that’s how i gained the “Insecure European with false sense of superiority” label on Reddit.

Also, never say a model looks skiny.

This guy alway has to shows up in the comments to give their 2-cents.

“Ackshually this humorous situation would never happen if _______.”

Y’all know who you are.

I was hoping the last panel would say “IN THE ASS!”
