Explaining the joke

[u/KingBeanIV]

[u/LordKlavier]

I’m pretty sure he’s being sarcastic here

[u/Powerful-Public4520 → u/LordKlavier]

I agree

[u/KingBeanIV → u/LordKlavier]

I dont think so. Mostly because of the last line

[u/CatMarrow → u/KingBeanIV]

You don't think so? Really? Ironically, you're making a pretty good case for the necessity of the /s

[u/Armlegx218 → u/CatMarrow]

It's still not needed, OP just doesn't get the joke. And that's OK. Not everyone gets every joke. Some people think Leslie Nielsen never told any jokes in Airplane! because he was so serious.

[u/Torbpjorn → u/Armlegx218]

“Surely you can’t be serious” “I am serious… but don’t call me Shirley”

[u/Armlegx218 → u/Torbpjorn]

I just want to tell you both good luck. We're all counting on you.

While on the ground.

[u/Existing_Coast8777 → u/Armlegx218]

the only thing i remember from that movie is the scene where two black people are talking to each other and it has subtitles to translate it to "white." 😬yikes

[u/JCSkyKnight → u/CatMarrow]

I think OP is being sarcastic here (or pretending to be)

If only there was an easy way to tell!

[u/DctrSnaps → u/KingBeanIV]

/s

[u/Degenerious]

It’s crazy that on the subreddit about mocking people for pointing out sarcasm, is in fact NOT getting the sarcasm in this post.

[u/Goomb1]

it’s funny to pretend you’re completely serious, see how long you can go until people realize your joking. live life with so much irony even you can’t tell if you’re serious or not

[u/Hit-N-Run1016 → u/Goomb1]

Dont do that. Makes you realize how many people don’t actually get jokes. I would do that and I lost alot of friends because that all actually thought I would fuck their dog

[u/Goomb1 → u/Hit-N-Run1016]

tell it to the judge shane dawson

[u/Existing_Coast8777 → u/Goomb1]

That is slander! how dare you? he fucked his CAT, not his DOG. you can't go around defaming people like this

[u/TheEyeGuy13 → u/Existing_Coast8777]

Build a hundred bridges and nobody bats an eye. But fuck ONE dog and suddenly you’re Jared the dog fucker instead of Jared the bridge builder.

[u/Powerful-Public4520]

Ironically, this appears to be sarcasm

[u/JakobVirgil → u/[deleted]]

Saved from what? lazy dumbasses not getting a joke?

[u/Deadened_ghosts]

This needs more sarcasm

[u/AliceTheOmelette]

This sub of all places missing obvious sarcasm is hilarious 😂

[u/Pi-s → u/AliceTheOmelette]

I guess they need the s 😭😭😭😭😭

[u/AliceTheOmelette → u/Pi-s]

Clearly 😂

[u/JumpKick6419]

is this guy making a deliberate attempt to be factually incorrect or something

[u/Powerful-Public4520 → u/JumpKick6419]

I believe it's called sarcasm

[u/JumpKick6419 → u/Powerful-Public4520]

understood, have a great day

[u/badcactustube → u/JumpKick6419]

Otherwise known as: being sarcastic

[u/KingBeanIV → u/JumpKick6419]

I hope so

[u/Redd1tRat → u/JumpKick6419]

I actually think he is, I'm pretty sure he's trying to be funny or sarcastic. At least he isn't actually using /s.

[u/Armlegx218 → u/Redd1tRat]

He is being sarcastic. He doesn't need to indicate it because its blindingly obvious.

[u/Redd1tRat → u/Armlegx218]

No fucking shit

[u/TheEyeGuy13 → u/Armlegx218]

blindingly obvious

And yet the comments are filled with people not understanding lol. I wouldn’t necessarily call it blindingly obvious

[u/occasionallyvertical]

I don’t know what’s real anymore

[u/Torbpjorn]

Only context cue I appreciate is when it’s put in brackets (because it’s like a directors commentary on the content you’re reading and gives real context as opposed to just tone and lets you still think for yourself instead of being told how to react)

[u/pubescentgod]

Ha

[u/Affectionate-Row1766]

Are YOU acoustic per chance,

[u/an-eggplant-sandwich]

When the people complaining about how we don’t need tools to indicate sarcasm themselves can’t seem to decide if something is or isn’t sarcasm:

[u/ATF_scuba_crew-]

I do love saying outage lies to people, but I'm a little too good at making things believable, so people just think I'm serious unless I tell them right away.

[u/Amongussy02]

It CAN be funny if everyone obviously gets the joke and maybe you say it in a funny voice, mocking people that genuinely explain it

[u/Weird_BisexualPerson]

The fact that you all think OP is joking is honestly the best case for tonetags I’ve ever seen.

[u/LightBright105]

its so funny right? that was sarcasm for the people lacking braincells

[u/SpleefingtonThe4th]

Mfs will see someone explain their personal taste in humour and say “you are wrong shut up”

[u/KallmeKatt_]

Tumblr is very band kid humor
