A joke that makes sense, but isn't funny enough so that normal people will laugh at it. The term comes from the Family Guy episode "Ocean's Three and a Half" where Two and a Half Men is being filmed in front of a live ostrich.
Man 1:"Have you ever seen Two and a Half men? It's hilarious."
Man 2:"What the hell is wrong with you, that show isn't funny at all. Every joke is an ostrich joke."

An inside joke is a joke only understood and funny to only two or more people or a specific group. No one else other than that group will understand the joke and when they do, they will almost always not find it funny. They are usually jokes where "you had to be there" to even find it remotely funny.
A group of friends are walking around at the mall.
Girl 1: Trash can!!
(group bursts out in laughter except for one other girl)
Girl 2: why's that funny?
Group: Inside joke...
Girl 2: Okay then...

You say this when somebody blatantly states the meaning of a joke that everybody got.
It comes from the episode of Family Guy when Peter becomes friends with Lois's father.

That was not funny. Not amused. Not a laugh. Not a chuckle. Not a Haha or even a hehe. That was not funny at all. I would be embarrassed if i were you. You need a tutor on comedy and on humor cuz this just aint it. It was terrible. It was horrible. It was NOT funny.

A simple joke given a long pretense with many added details leading to an ultimately disappointing conclusion
Nick Joke:
A man was walking home alone one night when he heard a "BUMP....BUMP....BUMP..." behind him. Walking faster, he looked back, making out an image of an upright coffin banging its way down the middle of the street towards him.
The man began to run toward his home, and the coffin bounced after him faster....faster...
He ran up to his door, fumbled with his keys, opened the door, rushed in, and locked it behind him. The coffin crashed through his door, with the lid of the coffin clapping on the heals of the terrified man. The man rushed upstairs to the bathroom and locked himself in, heart pounding.
With a CRASH, the coffin broke down the door, coming slowly toward him. The man while screaming, reached for something, anything....all he can find was a box of cough drops which he hurled at the coffin...and suddenly the coffin stops.
