Hang on, Pandas, did you hear that? I sounded like ‘woooosh’ (yes, with 4 o’s), the sound the jokes make when they go over our heads as Captain Obvious flies away! Luckily for us, that’s good news because that means it’s time for another part of our article series about the wonderfully weird r/woooosh subreddit, a community of nearly a million people.
Created back in 2016, the ‘Woooosh’ community is all about (not so) gently poking fun at those people who embarrassed themselves publicly when they didn’t get obvious jokes. Now, now, let’s be honest, we’ve all been in situations where we totally don’t get some bizarre quip or other. But these cases are so extreme, they’re hilarious in their own right. ‘Woooosh’ indeed!
Check out some of the best new ‘woooosh’ posts below, upvote your faves, and remember to share them with your pals if you think they’re in need of a humorous pick-me-up. If you’re curious, you can check out our earlier posts about r/woooosh here, here, here, and here. Meanwhile, scroll down for Bored Panda’s interview about humor and jokes we don’t get with British comedy writer, musical comedian, and talented polymath Ariane Sherine.

The Bad Doctor

I was expecting the "twist" to be that he worked at the morgue... I don't know which one is worse...

GROSS - I hope it was supposed to be a total joke. However, I don’t find animal abuse as funny no matter the scenario.

I see a lot of people are missing a key word: PATIENTS. Veterans of wars do not see patients (unless they are a doctor). Morgues also do not see patients, people! Their clients are dead.

This would be hilarious except for the fact that I've actually signed petions against Vets who actually rape their vulnerable "Dog/cat patients " ! Apparently its actually legal in Mexico to pimp out animals and make quite abit of money doing so! Is pretty sad.

Woooooosh!!! Right over their heads. He was a DVM, an animal Dr and slept with one of his patients! That creeps me out!

The above commenter didn't get that the guy slept with one of his patients. He was a DVM and his patients are not human.

I thought it said he slept with one of his PARENTS and wondered how his personal life was the business of his employer..
Camilo Madrigal 2 years ago
But what if the patient was the doctors partner?? What happens then??
Crocodile 2 years ago
Vet not human doctor , he was an animal doctor so if your suggesting that this guy not only slept with but married or is dating a dog, cat, or even a horse then you have a weird kink

He's a veterinarian. He slept with one of his patients. But the animal refused to testify

But it's important not to miss the word "patients" cause without it, it could actually have been veteran.

There has to be more to the story than this. it ends with a brilliant vet.... Was the patient a dog? Was the individual a current patient or someone he had been treating? All facts should be considered before throwing him under the bus.

I thought he was talking about his friend being a military vet 🤷🏽♀️

He may be smart, but no common sense. I wouldn't want him as a doctor if he can't pay attention to his job.

Slept with one of his patients. He’s a vet. No mild indiscretion there.

It’s Clearly A Magic Eight Ball
Comedy writer Ariane, who’s recently launched the first episode of her new podcast and has a brand new book coming out later this week, told Bored Panda that we can’t expect everyone to get jokes because not everyone’s looking for them. “I think some people just aren't used to looking for the humor in situations,” she said.
“Many people take life very seriously (like my mum, who can vaguely identify a joke but always laughs in the wrong place!). Alternatively, it could be the fault of the person telling the joke—the humor might be too subtle and not signposted enough,” she added that the responsibility for getting the joke falls on both the comedian and the listener.

I Thought It Was Real
However, if you find yourself constantly unable to get other people’s jokes, there’s really no other solution other than to politely ask for an explanation. It might kill the humor, but it’s also the only way to get to grips with what’s funny and why. If you’re feeling shy, consider asking for an explanation when there won’t be too many people around so you don’t embarrass yourself.
“There's no other way but to ask people what the joke is. Or you might want to keep it to yourself that you have an under-developed sense of humor,” the comedy expert quipped that we can always pretend that we got the joke. Though living with such a huge secret might be harder than it sounds.

Some People Think They Are So Smart

And this was a meme and memes aren't always accurate so you're WRONG haha

Bruh Moment
I was also interested to get Ariane’s take on what people who take life far, far too seriously can do to lighten up and open themselves up to humor more. She said that meditation and [ahem] physical self-love “are two great ways to relax,” however, they might not necessarily help them “tune into the lighter side of life.”
These activities aren’t without their merits, however, and might help you if you’re constantly stressed out and overly serious. “They'll make you happier though, which is probably just as good.”

Well, this happened to me on BP : I responded to a comment where a mistake was made in the lines of 'there must be 2 ways to do it: 1, 2 and 3' or something like that. My response was a silly (and well known; no points for originality or creativity here) joke that goes a little bit like this "There are 3 kinds of people in the world: Those who know how to count, and those who don't!"... You get where this is going: someone called me an idiot, pathetic, ... because to 'criticize' a mistake I made the same myself... XD
