Itโs called a whoosh. When a joke goes so far over someoneโs head that the sound can be physically heard. And it sounds like: โWhoosh.โ
Or at least thatโs what theyโre saying on Reddit. Thereโs a whole section dedicated to Internet documented whooshes. And theyโre hilarious.
A lot of people out there just really donโt have a sense of humor. Thatโs why they get whooshed. They canโt seem to sense sarcasm or irony either.
Here are 50 times a joke went completely over someoneโs head:

13) Scorpion
So, people donโt know what scorpions are these days. They think that Drake just comes up with animals and that manifests the new animal into reality. Yup, this person went through life not knowing what a scorpion is.

Grammar police are the worst. Their sticks are so far up their butt they canโt recognize a joke when they see one. They see nothing other than grammar. I guess it makes them feel smart and superior.

20) Not True
The phrase: โNo shit, Sherlock,โ comes to mind. The only way this could be true is if Abraham Lincolin was a time traveler. But that is more possible to me than this meme being real.

21) Australian Bread
