Welcome back to plastic surgery addicts anonymous. I'm seeing a lot of new faces here today, and I have to say I'm very disappointed.

[–] Dagnet@lemmy.world 27 points 4 weeks ago

Private Smith, I didn't see you at camouflage training yesterday. Good job.

[–] joyjoy@lemmy.zip 13 points 4 weeks ago

I see a few familiar faces, so you learned nothing last year.

If the people knew how to be invisible, then he wouldn't be able to see them here

[–] victorz@lemmy.world 4 points 4 weeks ago (2 children)

So are they in class to learn to be invisible or to prove they already know it? What's the point of the class?

[–] thevoidzero@lemmy.world 7 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

It says welcome back. So that implies they at least had the class previously.

[–] victorz@lemmy.world 1 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

Is it the graduation event or are they still learning or what?

[–] thevoidzero@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Either it's just a new day of classes and teachers is disappointed because last class didn't work. Or it's a new semester/term and teacher is really disappointed because they failed.

This amount of mental gymnastics kills the joke, is kind of my point.

[–] thevoidzero@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I mean it was pretty obvious and funny. I'm explaining because I thought you didn't get it, which is ok because there're always new people and new things.

[–] victorz@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I got it immediately, and then the millisecond after that it was like wait a minute, what kind of teacher expects the class to know everything while learning, and then this erosion of explaining/defending away the joke. That ruined it. 😆

[–] thevoidzero@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Yeah. But it's a joke. If we think about the actual implications many of them are not fun, or downright horrifying.

In real life too, someone says something we laugh and we move on. Unless it's really good, or really offensive. If we start analyzing every joke it's not gonna be fun. 😅

[–] victorz@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

Some jokes make such little sense that they are not funny at all though. I would say this one straddles the line between funny and not funny, leaning towards not funny. And that's a highly personal and subjective opinion, of course, as is the case with humor. 😊

Refinement, probably

Maybe it takes effort to maintain, takes effort to activate, etc?

It's not like athletes stop training after winning competitions

[–] victorz@lemmy.world 2 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

The longer we spend defending the joke, the more stupid it becomes, don't you see? It's only funny if you turn off your brain lol.

[–] Natanael@infosec.pub 2 points 4 weeks ago

You activated my trap card! I was training on invisible punchlines!
