"How'd you sleep last night?"
"Great. I was cold, I started cricketing as soon as I got under the covers."

A thing that makes noise when your jokes aren't funny. Somehow, every single time you tell a bad joke, the damn cricket just happens to be there to mock you. He makes you cry.
Bad comedian: So the monkey says to me "how are you?" haha
*Silence*
Cricket: *cricket* you suck *cricket*
Bad comedian: Boo hoo. :'(

My boss screamed at me for not completing an assignment he said he had given me. When I showed him that it was still in his brief case, he went all crickets.

The word said to break the silence after an unfunny (lame) joke has been told, usually to place embarrassment on the person who attempted the joke. Sometimes yelled to increase embarrassment.

To have a joke or comment followed by a silence substantial enough to make the chirping of crickets audible.

When a person cracks a joke, or says something ridiculous, that really isn't funny at all, or is just really ridiculous, and every person surrounding him/her is in complete utter silent to the point where he/she can actually start to hear non-existing crickets.
