20 Idiots Who Completely Missed the Joke and Failed to Behave Rationally

We've all been there—looking around the room, watching everyone else laugh, wondering what on earth we just missed. Even though we've all experienced this, how we deal with this situation differentiates us. Some might choose to laugh with the rest of the crowd to fit in, others might instead maintain their confused silence, and others still will belligerently verbally accost the speaker in order to protect their stupid ego from the idea that they just don't understand something.

This list is brimming with the third category of person; people who spend their life railing against the world to maintain their own bleeding ignorance. Sure, not all of us were born with a brilliant sense of humor—just like not all of us were blessed with the curse of self-awareness. Still, even if you're lacking in both, you're hopefully not also overflowing (like Aristotle in a bathtub) with ignorance. These third-category persons are utterly devoid of the primary and secondary traits—but have no lack of the tertiary. 

Keep reading for this resplendent cornucopia of persons who wouldn't know a joke if it smacked them in the back of the head.
