Longest time it took you to get a joke

[D.J. D.J.]

When I was about 3 years old my dad flew small airplanes. One day the Flying club got a new plane and it looked like it had pontoons on the landing gear for water landings, so I asked my dad "Can this plane land on water?" my dad responded "Every plane can make one water landing." I was only three years old at the time so I didn't dwell on it too much until I was about 16 that phrase just came up in my head and it clicked. It was a real hurr durr moment.

Not really a joke, but it took me ages to realise that the singer Flo Rida's name was just a play on words of Florida.

 

[Broken Blade]

Not really a joke, so much as a line from a musical. Two sailors in Les Miserables, singing "Lovely ladies, smell 'em in the air! / Think I'll drop my anchor in that harbor over there!" Took me about fifteen years to get that line, even after seeing the show myself. In my defense, I'd been hearing those lyrics since I was like, five, so I'd kind of stopped listening a long time earlier.

"Squidward" was a parody of "Edward".

Not really a joke, but after 10 faithful years of watching I just realized it -_-

my brother told me a joke 3 years ago. i didn't get it, still haven't.

Whats brown and sticky? a sti- OH NOW I GET IT!!!


no, but seriously, i'm pretty sharp witted (take after my grandad apparently) and i've grown up with my dad cracking BAD jokes every five minutes. so i generally get most jokes.


(know what else is a joke? PSN!!! AHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!! (I am a ps3 only user btw, so don't start with the hate mail. its just a joke, not meaning offence to anyone.))

16 years ago when I started to barely use language I was told a joke to this day I do not get.

Why did the chicken cross the road?

To get to the other side!

Still don't get it. T___T

There is no hope for you my friend.
I'm usually pretty good with jokes myself, and there aren't many that I didn't get which particularly stick in my mind.

That the name of the kid that Fred kept thinking was behind every crime in the scoopy doo kids show, was named "Red Herring." "a deliberate attempt to divert attention"

I used to watch South Park when I was 7 or 8 years old, so naturally most of the humor went way over my head. 14 years later I revisit those same episodes and...wow.

Haha, I had the exact same experience with South Park.

Oh wait - it wasn't a nightclub the baby seal walked into, was it?

 

[Ultress]

About 3 to 4 yours to get Why they Called him Goldmember

Also took me a few years to notice the name Dustin Prince from Phoenix Wright 2 was a pun.

It took me a good while to understand Sony Playstation's Original spelling of their slogan, "You are not ready" as "URNOTE" (with the letter e being in red while the others were black)

It wasn't until I watched a PS1 commercial for what had to be the 200th time and just out loud to myself, "What the hell does a Red E have to do with the word...! Oh..."

 

[liquidsolid]

A drunk man walks into a bar. I always waited for people to finish the joke, but that is the finished joke. HE walks into a bar, presumably hitting his head, and falling over.

 

[Sronpop]

Knock Knock!

Who's there?

Phyllis!

Phyllis who?

Phyllis a glass of water!

Took me years to get that one, first heard it as a child and didn't know Phyllis was a real name, I always heard it as 'Fill us', why do you want some water? o_0

Where did you learn to give mouth to mouth?

I did not get that joke for years.

Hehe, I just have to say, that's a good one.

Personally, about five or six years of hearing my older brother saying, " "I see, I see!" said the blind man peeing into the wind, "It's all coming back to me!" " I finally got it in the middle of a class in high school. Let me tell you, randomly laughing loudly in the middle of a lecture it not a good idea.
