30 Hilarious Screenshots Of Overconfident People Completely Missing The Joke (New Pics)
Nobody is exempt from having a brain fart. People are far from perfect. And the subreddit 'Woooosh' is an excellent example of this.
This online community with 1.1 million members shares pictures of folks missing the joke so badly that they sort of became one with the bit, adding to the hilarity of the moment.
Sometimes our gears turn slower than others fire their wit. But in the end, it's all part of the fun.

My milkshake brings all the boys to the yard, and they're like "mmmphpmnh" 'cause they're still trying to drink it through the straw.
Load More Replies...Even the 'correction' is wrong: Frankenstein was not a doctor, at least not in Mary Shelley's original story.
Yup! I'm actually one of the annoying people who say, you mean Frankenstein's monster? I think his name was frank.
Load More Replies...Victor Frankenstein did not have any kind of credentials that would classify him as a doctor. He was a college student with a very poor sleep schedule and even poorer mental health, and he was a pathetic whiny privileged boy with enough arrogance to think himself a god but not enough common sense to not make his creature the way he did (read: poorly). However despite all that, the book is great. Highly recommend. Sincerely someone who spent months analyzing the book for an English class.
Frankenstein was a sad little self-pitying fool. Frankenstein's Monster however? Would absolutely thrive in any literature class.
As annoying as it may be for some, Frankenstein's Monster has widely been known as just Frankenstein for a very long time. Just like many people call tissues Kleenex and whatnot. Get over it, FFS.
to be fair, most people think the monster is named frankenstein, and technically it is because he is his creator's ¨son¨ but the creation refers to himself as adam
The statement could be referring to the person who built the monster.

Actually, a travelling group of players sounds like more fun than Netflix!
It was slow because of the two-bit connection. (A quarter of a connection, cheap modem?)
Hehehe. Oh Conan! Conan actually is really smart, but why would a comedian make a joke?!
Normally, we recognize that we've messed up only after it's a bit too late. But according to studies, brain farts are detectable by head scans up to 30 seconds before the occurrence of the mistake.
So why do our brains betray us in such awkward, embarrassing ways? Seth Slater, M.F.A., who's a former dolphin trainer for the U.S. Navy, thinks it is because our routines are easy to disrupt.
Only 2-Maybe 3
Also pretty ignorant, the conclusion said he has at least two bones, which is 100% correct, with suggestion for the existence of a third one, which is also 100% true, and no one does it say they limit the possibility of having more bones, which would also be proven correct. That idiot didn't just understand a joke, they clearly showed they have no idea gow scientific research works. Because yes, the above comment was a joke, but also a very proper example of how to develop a hypothesis and conduct a simple research, while coming to a true conclusion.
Load More Replies...Alternative hypothesis: my bones are unbreakable. After interpretating the data, the conclusion is I have at least two breakable bones.
I used to think (not seriously, but still on some level) that I was unbreakable. I've been in a lot of accidents but nothing broken. In the last two years I've broken my leg twice, three individual breaks, from such dangerous activities as crossing a lawn and walking home from work in winter.
That was my thought. How many bones in astrophysics?
Load More Replies...So far all of the entries have been terrific jokes. How tightly are these nimrods wound that they can’t take a joke? I imagine that when someone says “Knock, knock” to them, they respond with “You don’t SAY it; you rap your knuckles on a door. If you had any friends, you’d know this.”
Omgawl! You don't SAY it...... Hahahahaha. Thank you for this. 🤗
Load More Replies...Wow, that's impressive! A career in astrophysics, with only a 4th grade education!
So many people on the internet who don't seem to understand what a joke is. Most people I know would have recognized that as a joke and laughed.
Wow They Don’t Speak There?!?!
Good thing she wrote it in all caps so we know how seriously she considers this matter lmao
The repeating of the joke is the only acceptable response to this, lol.
How does a person whose handle alludes to a fictitious horned, horse, miss the abstract that badly?
Another acceptable reply would have been "WELL UNICORNS AREN'T REAL EITHER!" The all-caps of this response is required.

*groan* I'm upvoting you, but I'm bloody mad about it.
Load More Replies..."Context shifts – really just simple changes in circumstances – can throw the best of us for a loop," Slater wrote.
"We are often especially prone to the disruptive influence of a context shift when we are attempting to perform a chained behavior – one in which completion of each individual behavioral link becomes the cue to perform the next behavior in the series."

Load More Replies...Guys The Mother Also Got Pregnant At 18
A classmate of mine had a baby at 13 with a guy in the same French class. She was a beauty.
The fact that morons like that get upvoted is so wild to me. There were at least 199 people just as dumb, or at least as clueless.
Why are we having cogendered sleepovers. Those things are wild enough with a few children of the same sex let alone people with a different set up. Real or not it's asking for trouble.
Oh, honey. Couple of notes for you: not every child/teen is interested in the opposite gender. Young people are, sometimes, homosexual! Or bisexual! Co-gendered sleepovers are no less "trouble" than same-gendered sleepovers, by YOUR rubric. As an aside, not every child/teen is interested in sex/sexual activities. Some are asexual. Some are aromantic. Some are more interested in playing Smash Bros. or Settlers of Catan than getting up to sexual shenanigans. I hate to even bring my own life experiences into it, but when I was 13, I was the only girl at a friend's birthday sleepover. There were 10 or so of my friends/classmates, all male besides me. It did not turn into a sneaky gángbang. No one even touched me. We were just friends. We all played Magic: The Gathering until my friend's mom caught us at 2am and made us go to sleep. The only "gendered" difference was that my friends (chivalrously, lol) insisted that I got to sleep on the couch while they all slept on the floor.

This Is Another/Rare Insult
HAHA!! "uncultured burnt toast", that's even better than my oft used "Muppet incarnate"
Load More Replies...When our behaviors are well established, they often fall into well-worn neural grooves.
Familiarity signals to the brain it can downshift as an energy-saving measure, which makes us susceptible to glitches born of inattentiveness.
However, Slater reassured us that we humans are not alone in fouling things up when a brain fart lets fly.
Nice This
MaximumKarma, I was just about to comment that it's even worse because it's on a joke subreddit lol

Cats Are So Dense
A 5kg cat actually weighs about 80kg at night if I'm any judge of the one that sleeps on my bed...
Cat Gravity. They absorb sunlight and convert it to a localized gravity field. That's why the spend so much time in the sunlight and it's so hard to move them when they are lying on your lap.
When they walk on your delicate areas in the middle of the night it's like hundreds of pounds per square inch...
We are gods. We can break anything. It's funny to see the faces our soft can-opener makes.
Um, Have You Guys Ever Heard Of Metallica?
As a musician, if I got paid in any more exposure I would be completely naked
Naked? Only??? Not skinned alive to shriveled bones and stringy muscles?? Hmm.. You still need more exposure...
Load More Replies...Stranger Things really might introduce Metallica to more young people. There is strong possibility.
Honestly, I've had kids ask me if I know who Metallica is. Most kids wear t-shirts because they like how it looks, not because they've ever listened to the band.
"In teaching tasks to animals in my former career as a dolphin trainer, I regularly witnessed the behavioral backstepping that is a normal and predictable part of any learning process. No one learns overnight, dolphins included," he said.
"But even fully trained dolphins who had become experts at performing all sorts of tasks occasionally experienced mental glitches. Interestingly, dolphins react to such moments with as much surprise as we humans do to ours."
Women Don’t Know The Pain
Two hoaxes in one. There's no such thing as "del units of pain" and labor contractions are not the equivalent of 20 bones snapping at once.
At a school where Del is the worst bully, units of his inflicted pain are measured and delivered at his discretion.
Load More Replies..."there is nothing more painful than giving birth" accidentally left clicking on your barely alive MC dog instead of right clicking to feed him the meat:
I think it was Carol Burnett who said that giving birth was like taking your bottom lip and pulling it over your head.
And some british comic who said: "Put an umbrella up your a*s. Now OPEN IT."
Load More Replies...i've accidentally killed my dog in minecraft AND have also had my pubic joint slip out (which is my 10 on a pain scale). the dog is nowhere near that bad.
This made me snort-laugh my coffee. Fortunately, I have not yet gotten dressed for work.

On the left, we can see users of force, both Jedi and Sith. On the right is the story of Han Solo and Princess Leia (princess and a con). You're welcome.
There No Last Digit
I don't speak Dutch, but I would say that looks like the past tense of something like "to answer". I will now look it up... (live learning here, folks!)... it does in fact mean "To answer", so I guess that button means "Reply" in Dutch.
Load More Replies...Chuck Norris once punched pi so hard, it broke and now we know the last digits of pi

Just thinking it through for the hell of it, wouldn't 100% milk fat be butter?
2% milk is 100% milk with 2 % butter fats, whole cream is like 26 or 30% butter fats, butter is like 60% I can't tell if the comments here are sincere or jokes so just throwing it out there.
Load More Replies...Slater explained that when making a misstep during a series of routine behaviors, dolphins often pause mid-task, clearly aware they’ve done something odd.
Some of them even whistle or squeak in acknowledgment of the awkward moment! Others might slap a pectoral fin against the surface of the water in mild frustration. And a great many of them slip beneath the waterline to expel a cloud of air from their blowhole in what looks, truly, like a world-class brain fart of epic proportions.
Mother Is A Word By Itself
There's a similar one where someone said the book that made them cry was a certain physics school book, and the actual writer responded to it by saying "tears of joy no doubt" :)
This is an old stream and people have started cutting off the reply. The author, Vollhardt, replies "must be tears of joy". I find it funny because some organic chemistry had his alerts set up just to do the joke.
So, they carefully blotted out the names and images of the people on the thread. Then, they left in the name of the person that was being replied to in the Replying to ___ string.
Love that book, teaches you how to make artificial flavours, laughing gas and TNT.
I read a book about a Spanish woman trapped in Afghanistan. She went there willingly, twice. Lost her passport, couldn't leave for several years, finally contacted her sister and she got her and two children out. But the woman's Afghan husband had to stay. She lasted a month or two in Spain, then went back to Afghanistan with the kids. Got stuck again and again had to be rescued. I just can't.
Uh I’m so confused where is the mother or the wrongly corrected joke
Poor Kid
Good lord, the Onion has been around for how long?? And people still get their panties in a wad over it??!?
Tbf it's hard to distinguish the onion's fake articles from the real ones nowadays...
Load More Replies...I love that people still want to take The Onion seriously, even after they've spent DECADES publishing satire online!
The Onion has been around a lot longer than you know. It started as a satirical print newspaper in Madison, Wi.
Ok so I'll start by saying that "The Onion" is a satire site and this isn't a real article. But the joke is that the parents wanted the kid to be born at 2:22 to match the 2/22/22 date, and then were upset when the baby didn't comply. The person responding appears the think the article is real.

How Does People Not Get It?
But I suspect that the dogs will interpret what they see, according to the rules they know? It's called 'theory of mind'
When I worked at the daycare, I told the kids I wouldn't be there the next day. My mom was coming to visit, and I was going to stay home and clean the house. At pickup time, four year old Kristal told her mom, "Teacher isn't coming to school tomorrow. She has to clean her room. Her mommy's making her." I've always loved how Krystal took what I said and fit it into her world view.
Load More Replies...Do dogs who've never had to hunt think about what we provide for them as having been "hunted"for?
My dogs think food appears magically in boxes and cans that refill while they aren't looking. My job is to hand them the food, and if they ever figure out how to open cans then they may try to knock me off...
But dogs aren't aware of the going to the store and trading currency for food (unless they go to the store with you but even then)...just that you left and came back with foods. LEARN. Haha
There's Always This One Guy
Jeez, has nobody else seen the majestic cow lay its precious clutch by the moonlight? Pfft. Ignorant fools.
I love how they don't say "cows don't lay eggs" or something like that, they say "aren't cows mammals" meaning THEY'RE NOT SURE WHETHER COWS ARE MAMMALS OR NOT
I saw the reverse of the on a 'World's Dumbest Pranksters' once where a woman pranked her son's girlfriend on Thanksgiving by putting a Cornish Game Hen in the turkey. She had the girl help with dinner by asking her to remove the stuffing from inside the bird. The girl discovered the hen and freaked out because the turkey had obviously been pregnant when it met its demise. What was even funnier was that one of the commenters was also taken in by the joke!

"A 10" refers to someone's appearance, most often used by males in reference to "hot" or "sexy" females. Saying something like "She's a 10" would mean that the woman was thought to be exceptionally hot/attractive. In this above case, OP is trying to tell whomever they're messaging that they think they're very attractive ("U is definitely a 10")

There Was No Attempt To Understand
Five minutes later you stop the car, and the policeman just got retired and the fine just expired.
I had a conversation once with my quantum physics teacher (seriously, this happened) that I wasn't convinced that objects couldn't go faster than the speed of light. He said, well, we've never seen anything going faster than the speed of light. I said, "But, if it's going faster than light, you wouldn't see it, would you?" "That's a good point." And that's what I love about scientists. Challenge even their most cherished theories and they'll not immediately discount it without data.
Objects can't go faster than the speed of light, because mass increases with speed, and at the speed of light, mass is infinite and cannot be mass anymore. In order to preserve the mass and energy ratio of the universe, it's become energy way before. And the fastest form of energy, which is electromagnetic waves (this is, the diverse presentations of light) travel at the speed of light.

My kid just said, "Mommy, maybe it's because people are too insecure to pose questions theirselves and therefore pose these inquiries with their children as a cover. Pretty desperate, if you ask me."
Carter - Reagan debate, 1980 ---"I think to close out this discussion, I think it would be better to put into perspective what we are talking about. I had a discussion with our daughter, Amy, the other day before I came here to ask her what the most important issue was. She said she thought it was (nucular) weaponry, and the control of (nucular) arms,' Carter said. (Carter never could pronounce nuclear. Amy was 12 at the time)
Amy got into an Ivy League school, and I could easily have given a similar answer at 12. Ironically, Jimmy is the only president with first-hand knowledge of nuclear power, but this makes me think of Homer Simpson correcting somebody by saying "Nucular. It's pronounced Nucular."
