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."

Ted Turner: "like a bisexual"
Peter: "That was the joke Ted."

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.
