This has happened to all of us at some point, you on the net, or with friends, reading a book, watching a movie etc and they say a joke, but you don't get the joke or what's actually supposed to be funny (or in some cases you completely don't realise a joke was said at all). It happens to me from time to time.
Recently I was watching old episode of The Simpsons on TV and they made a joke how the Grammys are a joke/worthless, it's a joke I've seen a ton in US media but I've never understood what the joke is supposed to be? Like why is a Grammy awards considered more or less a joke then say the Oscars, Golden Globe or Emmys etc which don't get this treatment? They jokes never explain other than "Grammy is a joke" with no other context so I've never understood what's supposed to be funny other then "Here is thing that exists, laugh".
What are these for you?
