Post your embarrassing comedy failures
>At lab meeting
>Everything is wrapping up
>Boss: oh, one final thing, it turns out that our milliQmachine not working was due to a faulty O-ring, so I ordered a new one
>Me: oh good, didn't the Challenger blow up because of a faulty O-ring? Good thing the milliQMachine didn't blow up and kill all of us, aheheh!
>*dead silence*
>co-worker: That isn't funny anon, all those scientists died!
>feel like shit rest of day

Ehh, I wouldn't necessarily call that a comedy failure, you just chose the wrong crowd to say it to
Its a little cheesy, but I would have given you a chuckle maybe
>>28100833
Not bad. blblbl
I get it, "O" like "Orgasm"
>>28100833
I would've audibly chuckled for you pal. It's not your fault you work with a set of soft cunts.

To be fair, like half my co-workers are foreigners who might have not gotten the reference.
>company has a "safety day" every year
>you're required to attend at least two different classes
>one of the classes is about "unsafe sleep habits"
>decided to go to it thinking it would be short and less boring
>noticed it was about to start so I rushed there
>I manage to get there just in time but the only seats available are in the very front of the room
>don't think much of it and go sit in the front
>speaker is a woman and she's using lots of props to talk about how we should go to bed earlier, have a peaceful environemt in our room that is conducive to sleep, etc
>speaker starts talking about sleeping posture
>she asks me to come lay on this platform she has set up
>I go up and lay on the platform and she starts talking about how the pillow can really affect your neck, etc.
>I'm laying there for like a good 5 minutes as she goes on
>during this time, I've closed my eyes for the sake of realism and I'm thinking "holy shit how long am I going to have to lay here in front of all these people"
>speaker woman finally finishes and says "Thank you, you can return to your seat."
>I don't move
>I remain perfectly still with my eyes still closed
>the room is dead silent
>I then make a loud snoring sound without moving or opening my eyes
>my boss in the back row is literally the only person that laughs
>I immediately get up and walk back to my seat when I realized my joke had failed
>everyone gave me a weird look as I walked back to my seat
>boss later told me he had to leave the room because he was laughing so hard that I would do that and that nobody laughed
I still think it's funny

Fuck those normies. It was funny. These are normies. If you were Chad or stacy they would be hooting and slamming palms on the desk.

i chuckled anon. they were probably just trying to look professional. salarycucks always take workshops too seriously
>my lab was asked to fabricate a special laser with a power source for a lab next door
>it wasn't anything too special but I was asked to present about it at the next meeting
>meeting was with my lab and the lab next door, all of whom seemed like pretty cool people
>in the meeting I'm talking about it and I realize that nobody had named it
>all the slides said were "Pulse initiating generator - laser emitting tube"
>so as I'm presenting I say " Wait, is there a name for this thing or are we just calling it PIGLET?" thinking that people would chuckle
>dead silent
>I'm about to continue realizing the joke fell flat when some guy from the other lab speaks up
>"No, we're calling it 'pulse initiating generator - laser emitting tube."
>everyone from my lab looks really uncomfortable
>meeting ends and everyone informs me that the guy I offended is really high up in the company and is considered one of the top researchers in their department
>he's also the brains behind the laser concept and I just made fun of his brain child
Everyone calls me Piglet now to fuck with me
>>28100833
My problem with that isn't that some scientists died, it's that it's just not funny.
All of high school
Just kill me senpai-i-lam

Your boss is the only one that actually has brains, the rest of your coworkers are just mindless social media freaks
Not me. I got to witness autism from an outside perspective for the first time in a pretty long time.
>professor taking roll in first weeks of class to get to know everyone
>anon? - here
>anonette? - here
>anon - "pree zent" (like key and peele)
Dead silence. Not even a cricket. What seems like hours go by.
>"No one? Nobody got- ahhh never mind... I thought.... nobody? ahhhh"
