    If you have to explain a joke, it’s probably not funny.

    I got it and it still wasn’t funny. Maybe you’re just not funny.

      That would be enough by itself, harsh but reasonable.

      Maybe you’re just not funny.

      Now that’s just mean and uncalled for.

        I guess the only criticism you’re used to is praise.

        That would distort how you perceive your humor.

          Actually the fist statement you made is a criticism on the joke.

          The second statement is a generalized assumption on OPs character traits.

          To assume someone just isn’t funny (in general) by reading one of their comments reveals a lot about how dense you are.
