Ostrich Joke

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."

that was the joke Ted

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.

Carter: "Ace high or low"
Peter: "It goes both ways."
*everybody laughs*
Ted Turner: "like a bisexual"
Peter: "That was the joke Ted."

inside 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...

joke recycler

one who uses jokes multiple times, even to the same audience; while joke recycling is still eco-friendly, it shows a lack of creativity and sense of humor

"You know this is the only time in the game where you actually crash a castle?" "Leland, that was the third time you've said that joke, you're such a joke recycler."

joke theft

No one likes to be around one of these people. They feel like they are not able to say anything funny without it being stolen. A common name for a joke theft is Tyler Allen. They have a unique way of stealing your jokes. They will listen closely to the joke you say in front of your guy friends. They will then will announce it in front of a large group of guys and girls exactly word for word as you said it. Everyone will laugh and he will take full credit for it. This will make him feel like all the girls are interested in him. He will then jokingly say, "Tyler Allen ladies and gentlemen, I'll be here all night." This is to try to get a few more chuckles out of everyone. Also, they are not only limited to talking, a joke theft does his work through any form of communication. Anyone who is a joke theft shall be called a “Tyler”.

There was a joke theft in this class and the teacher brought in freeze pops. Since the wrappers are really long, the joke theft's friend said to him, "Hey look, it's a Ron Jeremy size condom." The Tyler laughed hysterically. He then took a picture of the empty wrapper on Snap Chat, used the exact same caption, and added the picture to his Snap Story without giving any credit.

joke mail

When somebody signs you up for free subscriptions or free merchandise of useless nature in order for you to be bothered by telemarketers and religious organizations. The instigator hopes that the person being "joked" will receive numerous garbage, telephone calls and whatever else the company sends such as videos and magazines.

I thought I had a parcel but it turned out to be joke mail that somebody signed me up for. Now they call me all the time.
