      it is not true and you have pretty strange definition of “funny”

      i take that back, after an explanation, it is hilarious

          I didn’t double check if those buildings really are Microsoft and Apple

          that is not what i meant

          doesn’t make the unexpected contrast to Linus Torwalds on his walking desk less funny

          ok, that is truly funny.

          the problem is that unless you know that the butt you are looking at the third picture is linus’s, it just looks like some “haha, rich companies and poor linux” joke (which can be pretty easily disproved)

            Yeah ok, but it’s not the jokers fault if some of the audience doesn’t get the joke :). The more specific a joke is the more funny it becomes, which - yes - excludes some people.

              so, by your definition, the most funny joke in the world is some inside joke between you and your spouse? i don’t think that is how it works ;)

                  regardless of your definition of funny, if you share such inside joke with general public and then wonder why they don’t understand, that is serious lapse in judgement.

                  same as when you share a joke that is only understandable to those who have already seen it and received explanation or have seen some obscure 8 years old video. that is badly crafted joke.
