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...
Girl 1: Trash can!!

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.

This guy/girl made one person he/she knew laugh with one out of every ten things he/she said, everyone else was angered by what he/she said. He/she is a bad joke.
