Mr Bruce hears the same joke at least every week, so it isnt funny to him anymore. Everyone else either didnt get it or rolled their eyes.

It's especially fun if your name is similar to a comic character that you don't care for

Source: have a name that's similar to an anti-villain

Edit: y'all are cracking me up!

Yuan Fang?

(He is just plain evil and selfish but edgy highschoolers call him anti-hero so...)

Anti-villain? So ... Like a .. hero?

[–] FoxyFerengi@startrek.website 3 points 2 weeks ago

Anti-Villains are somewhat the opposite of Anti-Heroes. While the Anti-Hero often fights on the side of good, but with questionable or selfish motives and methods; the Anti-Villain plays a villain's game, but for a noble cause, or with respectable qualities, in a way that the audience or other characters can sympathize with. They may be more noble or heroic than an Anti-Hero, but the means to achieve their ends are often considered exploitative, immoral, unjust, or just evil.

So characters like Magneto or Poison Ivy

I say this ALL the time and no one has ever gotten it.

[–] musubibreakfast@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

I don't get it, could you explain?

[–] Bamboodpanda@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

It's a line from The Fifth Element where Korben Dallas (Bruce Willis) is asked if he classifies as "human".

[–] burntbacon@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

google it. Look at the first picture with subtitles. Then watch the movie.

[–] musubibreakfast@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

I still don't get it. I googled Higgs boson. I fear your joke might be bad.

Meat Popsicle... Is your real name Beef Cane, Pork Rod, Tender Lollipop, Nugget Rattan or Jerky Pole?

[–] lurch@sh.itjust.works 10 points 2 weeks ago

missed chance to prepare actually funny comebacks, like "this isn't how this works, bizzarro" etc

[–] atomicbocks@sh.itjust.works 10 points 2 weeks ago

I have a meme last name… then a commercial made a meme out of my first name…

[–] MisterFrog@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I have a name which is jokable. You hear a lot of boring uninspired jokes, which gets old.

I dunno, this one sounds silly and fun, and I don't think everyone and their dog would have told it.

Surely the good ones are still funny, no?

[–] higgsboson@piefed.social 1 points 2 weeks ago

Not for me. But Im old and cynical. I had a 25 year career during which I attended thousands and thousands of meetings with strangers.
