Have you ever been that person at a party or in an online group chat who got called out for letting a joke go so far over your head it can put its flag on the moon? Thanks to social media, we assure you, you’re not the only one. If you want to make yourself feel a little better about missing the joke, scroll through your favorite social media platforms, and you’re sure to make yourself feel like the smartest person on the Internet. Here are a few examples of times when someone just didn’t get the joke.

It is no secret that the trick to easily removing a spider from the room is to place a glass over them, simply, then you have complete control. This photo of Spider-Man covered with a glass cup over him is so funny. Poor Peter Parker, he didn’t even see it coming.
The author of this pic was right on point, creating a humorous way of comparing control over a spider to controlling Spider-Man. Sadly, the person responding that “Spider-Man has super strength and a pixie glass wouldn’t stop him” must have gotten stuck in the web of puns, missing that joke completely (he may also want to consider turning his spell check on).
