      It’s just a fact, I don’t think it needs to be funny or clever.

        It’s not a fact though, but I’m glad we can both agree it wasn’t funny or clever.

        Just hyperbole.

        Lol, why do you people always get upset when someone says something isn’t funny?

          It was just a rude and aggressive thing to say intended to make someone feel bad about IMO a valid (or at worst innocuous) comment.

            Not really. It’s to show them the reality that some people think what they said wasn’t funny.

            You seem to think that it’s only acceptable to say a joke is funny, but not that it isn’t.

              You seem to think anyone cares about what you think is or isn’t funny.
