Cannot Tell a Joke	comment	Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Despite the title, this is, in fact, a comedy trope. Because there is something funny about watching someone attempting to be funny and failing. To be funny, that is. It's just funny. Got it? This is essentially a character who screws up any attempt to tell a joke. Perhaps they forget the punchline, perhaps they have no sense of timing, perhaps they try to explain it until it stops being funny, or perhaps the joke never had a chance to be funny to begin with. Whatever the case, any attempt to make a joke will leave their intended audience staring at them dumbfounded. (Or possibly laughing, but not for the intended reason, if the intended audience enjoys Anti-Humor, which this often bears unintentional resemblance to.) For bonus irony, may be followed by a Rimshot. Compare and contrast with No Sense of Humor, when the audience is at fault, and Humor Dissonance, when the jokes are supposed to be funny but the audience disagrees.

Cannot Tell a Joke / int_10254bd5	comment	Nicola Murray in The Thick of It has the unfortunate combination of a desperate urge to not seem glum or smug and the comedic timing of a deathwatch beetle. In the first series, Olly is the one who takes on this role, as he constantly attempts to prolong jokes and, as is usually the case in real life, ends up killing them stone dead. By the time the specials role around he's even lampshading it:

If they want to tell a joke they just yell the number and everyone laughs. A new prisoner tries yelling a number only to get no laughs and told he just can't tell a joke. Ironically Crapout himself falls under this; he can't stop cackling to say even a full sentence of the joke, completely killing the humor.

Cannot Tell a Joke / int_1cc09117	comment	Bleach: In the many Slice of Life sketches Tite Kubo does about his characters, there's one of Byakuya doing a stand-up routine in front of a huge audience. He holds his kenseikan to his ear and pretends it's a telephone. The audience doesn't laugh. He gets an "I told you so" from Renji afterwards. On another occasion, Renji asks Byakuya which hairdresser he uses and Byakuya tells him he gets his zanpakutou to cut his hair for him. Renji is so shocked, Byakuya has to tell him he was joking. Of course, Renji's then more panicked by the idea of Byakuya telling jokes. It's a Running Gag that Byakuya's very funny when he's not trying to be but an absolute disaster when he is.

Cannot Tell a Joke / int_24ffd341	comment	The attempts of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia's Dee Reynolds to get her standup career off the ground inevitably fall into this. Most of the time, she starts retching out of stage fright halfway through her first joke. When she can get one in, it's inevitably rambling observational humor or references to her vagina, delivered either in a halfhearted drawl or while stammering profusely. Yet somehow, it's still better than her non-standup "character work."

Cannot Tell a Joke / int_261c8d3f	comment	The Simpsons: A variation; Homer fails at humorous limericks. He tries to disprove this by saying "There once was this guy from an island off the coast of Massachusetts... Nantucket, I think it was. Anyway, he had the most unusual personal characteristic, which was, um..." At this point he can't remember the rest, and Lenny and Carl just snicker at him. (There is a Running Gag throughout the series of Homer never being able to finish the "man from Nantucket" limerick, which is extremely vulgar.) Also Prinicpal Skinner. In "Marge Simpson in: 'Screaming Yellow Honkers'", it takes him less than 30 seconds to screw up the Who's on First? routine he is doing with Superindentent Chalmers by explaining that he doesn't mean the pronoun 'who' but rather that there is a player with the unlikely surname of 'Who' playing first base. After being appointed interim principal of Springfield Elementary in "Sweet Seymour Skinner's Badass Song", Ned Flanders stated his policy to put the 'pal' back in 'principal', which everyone finds hilarious. Straight away, Chalmers adds that he'll put the 'super' back in 'superintendent', to which the room responds with silence.

Cannot Tell a Joke / int_278b4381	comment	Ferguson from the Nickelodeon sitcom Clarissa Explains It All was generally a straight-laced, snobby know it all. Later in the series, he spent an entire episode practicing the delivery of a cliche joke (A homeless man walks up to me on the street and says he hasn't had a bite in...) for some event that he was participating in. The humor came not from the joke itself, but from the ludicrous attempts at telling it, which eventually started including ridiculous stresses on random words of the punchline, a la "I bit him. I bit him. I bit him."

Three feet tall, with a flat head to hold the beer". Of course when Butthead attempts to tell this, his punchline is "Uh... I dunno, but she'd be pretty hot!".

When attempting to tell a joke about why a man who thinks he's a moth went to the dentist's (the light was on) he ends up improvising a whole pointless conversation between the man and the dentist to stall for time while he tries to remember the punch line. And later in the episode, he gives the person he was telling the joke to a written copy of it... which covers three pages on both sides. Carla also falls into this. Dr. Cox calls her out on it when he points out why everybody else in the hospital is funny, including calling Ted the "hospital sad sack". Dr. Cox notes that she can be funny when she's being sarcastic or arrogant, but her jokes are never funny.

Cannot Tell a Joke / int_3eacc2fd	comment	Corner Gas: In "Mosquito Time", Hank says that the human brain can only hold so much information, and we are treated to a Ghost in the Machine Cutaway Gag showing two Hanks in a white void organizing cardboard boxes full of information. One tells the other to put a box of knock-knock jokes next to the Bananarama lyrics. Real!Hank then tries to tell Lacey a knock-knock joke, but when she says, "Who's there?", he says, "Bananarama". Back in Hank's brain, the stack of boxes has fallen over and all their contents have mixed together, while one of the Hanks chews out the other for his screw-up. In "Hurry Hard", Lacey's absolutely terrible curling jokes are a Running Gag. "Outside Joke" featured Davis and his utter incompetence at pulling Practical Jokes, infuriating Karen who tries to teach him how to do it properly. Further angering her is the fact that the townsfolk actually seem to find his lame attempts funny, and on top of that, they also give him all the credit for her practical jokes. This eventually turned out to be a practical joke Davis was playing on Karen that he got the whole town in on.

Cannot Tell a Joke / int_468bebb0	comment	Discworld: Granny Weatherwax doesn't quite 'get' humour. In Witches Abroad, Granny keeps trying to tell a joke that goes "A man walks into a sandwich shop and sees a sign that says, 'We make all kinds of sandwiches'. So he says 'I'll have an alligator sandwich — and make it snappy!'" Only she keeps giving the punchline as "and make it quick!", or "and I want it right away!", or "and don't be a long time about it!" Pratchett said this about it: "It is (I hope) obvious that Granny Weatherwax has absolutely no sense of humour but she has, as it were, heard about it. She has no grasp of how or why jokes work — she's one of those people who say "And then what happened?" after you've told them the punchline. She can vaguely remember the one-liner "Give me an alligator sandwich — and make it snappy!" but since she's got no idea of why it's even mildly amusing she gets confused... all that she can remember is that apparently the man wants it quickly." In the same book, though, Granny does use puns that could be construed as humorous. (Unless calling an incident where someone was killed by a duck "a foul [fowl] deed" was an accident. It could have been.) In a few other books, Archchancellor Mustrum Ridcully is described as not being very good at telling jokes, and not letting that stop him. It's mentioned that the Bursar has No Sense of Humor, but at least knows how jokes are meant to go, and Ridcully's never add up properly.

Gloria is puzzled when she hears laughter, but then Richie takes her into the room and shows her that the laughter is emanating from a "laugh box" that he got for Cadbury so that at least someone would find his jokes funny.

In his defense, it's a translated Jaffa joke and presumably whatever was funny about it got Lost in Translation. It goes: "Three Jaffa meet on a neutral planet: a Horus guard [worshipper of the hawk-headed Egyptian god Horus], a Serpent guard [worshipper of Apophis] and a Setesh guard [worshipper of a doglike god, long-lost and considered sort of like mythical bumpkins by the others]. It is a tense moment. The Horus guard's beak glistens. The Serpent guard's eyes glow. The Setesh guard's... nose drips!" And Teal'c bursts out laughing. Another SG-1 example occurs in "Citizen Joe" in which Joe Spencer seems incapable of telling a simple joke.

He tries to tell a joke, but messes up telling it and walks away in disappointment after he accidentally gives away the punchline. The conflict of the episode is that Arthur isn't very good at telling jokes even though he and his friends are preparing to do a clown act, but he finds a different way to be funny by playing the piano in a silly manner. In "Slink's Special Talent", Slink tries telling jokes as his talent. He gets the joke mixed up for a few minutes, then gives up when everyone else starts to get bored.

Cannot Tell a Joke / int_77bda8e9	comment	Granny Weatherwax doesn't quite 'get' humour. In Witches Abroad, Granny keeps trying to tell a joke that goes "A man walks into a sandwich shop and sees a sign that says, 'We make all kinds of sandwiches'. So he says 'I'll have an alligator sandwich — and make it snappy!'" Only she keeps giving the punchline as "and make it quick!", or "and I want it right away!", or "and don't be a long time about it!" Pratchett said this about it: "It is (I hope) obvious that Granny Weatherwax has absolutely no sense of humour but she has, as it were, heard about it. She has no grasp of how or why jokes work — she's one of those people who say "And then what happened?" after you've told them the punchline. She can vaguely remember the one-liner "Give me an alligator sandwich — and make it snappy!" but since she's got no idea of why it's even mildly amusing she gets confused... all that she can remember is that apparently the man wants it quickly." In the same book, though, Granny does use puns that could be construed as humorous. (Unless calling an incident where someone was killed by a duck "a foul [fowl] deed" was an accident. It could have been.)

"I don't know, what's up with you?"), he's so enamored with the joke that he attempts to retell it to everyone, but fails repeatedly. When he finally does properly trick someone into saying "What's Updog?" he botches the follow-up. "I'm fine, how are you?" After Michael is the face-slapping butt of Dwight's KGB knock-knock joke, he argues with Dwight about answering Jim's "door". Of course, more face-slapping ensues. That's because the KGB waits for no one. "Are you serious?" "Yes. And don't call me Shirley." His original counterpart in the British version, David Brent, was also like this, due to a similar over-reliance on second hand humor from old comedy shows and a general lack of wit.

Cannot Tell a Joke / int_84782a62	comment	The "Hedge Sketch" by Stephen Fry and Hugh Laurie seems to be a very basic scene at a store, but consists of them continuously getting their lines in the wrong order, or speaking the lines of the wrong character, which leads to them starting all over from the start several times. In the end, they both can't remember the final punchline. There is a similar one in which Laurie keeps interrupting the whole time to turn to the camera and tell the audience that this is his favorite gag, and the next line is the payoff — no, wait, not quite yet ... And another, in which Fry is trying over and over to tell a joke to his date and Laurie is a waiter who enters to interrupt every time he approaches the punchline; he eventually reveals that a concealed microphone enables him to do this.

Cannot Tell a Joke / int_99f8c7fb	comment	There have been a number of examples of guests like this over the long history of Have I Got News for You, but special mention has to go to trade-unionist Derek Hatton, whose joke about a ministerial lovechild bombed, and most of all Piers Morgan, who attempts to copy a joke from a previous week, tells it badly, and then attempts to bully the audience into laughing at it. It fails miserably, and best of all, Ian Hislop manages to tell the joke later, to much laughter. (Of course, when Hislop told it the audience were laughing purely to make Morgan's failure more personal.) Hatton also told the Ikea cabinet joke ("The Cabinet is like an Ikea cabinet; a couple of loose screws and it falls to pieces") to utter disdain. When Cherie Blair told the same joke in a speech, HIGNFY replayed the clip, and to everyone's surprise, it got a rather more positive reaction. (Paul's reaction was something like "It's a matter of timing. Fifteen years later, it's funny.") It's also possible they were laughing at how cheap the set looked, and Ian Hislop with hair, rather than the joke.

Cannot Tell a Joke / int_a8a4211a	comment	In Mass Effect 2, Joker is forced to give EDI full control over the Normandy. While he is doing so, he complains about the possibility that he might be starting a trend that will lead to a Matrix-like world, with organic life existing as batteries for the A.I.s. EDI comments that she enjoys the sight of humans on their knees, followed by a short pause and her saying "That was a joke." Joker's expression right after, of course, is absolutely priceless. However, it's less her being unable to tell a joke and more lousy timing: to anyone not trapped on a ship with homicidal aliens and a questionably sane AI (ie the player) it's hilarious, even without the followup. She continues to make similar jokes in the third game, until Shepard eventually asks her to stop. She muses that her timing sub-routine needs to be adjusted. Being built from Reaper technology, it makes sense that none of her construction involved any sort of understanding of humor.

Cannot Tell a Joke / int_eb3f3551	comment	Mass Effect: Andromeda: In contrast to EDI having a wicked but badly-timed sense of humor, Ryder's AI SAM is simply unoriginal. When asked to tell a joke, SAM will only make slight variations on well-known groaners, including knock-knock jokes. The one time SAM manages to get a chuckle out of Ryder (by "calculating the trajectory of the punchline"), it quickly clarifies that it was by accident. Jaal has this opinion of his teammate Liam Costa's attempt at humour. He chuckles, and then adds "we [meaning the angara] have people who aren't funny, too."

Cannot Tell a Joke / int_ec28245c	comment	Tenshinhan in Dragon Ball Z encounters trouble with this trope when Kaio requires all potential students to tell him a joke. He did manage a joke. Once. It wasn't funny, though. Kaio was scared by Tenshinhan's seriousness and determination, so he thought that laughing was the best solution. Similarly, Piccolo is also unable to tell a joke and refuses to make one, but Kaio takes one of his lines as a hilariously bad joke and he ends up laughing anyway.

Cannot Tell a Joke / int_edd06bf6	comment	The 1929 book Jokes Cracked By Lord Aberdeen attained a cult following (and original copies became much sought-after) in the 2000s due to its reputation for this. It's likely that his Lordship could tell a joke, in person... but when written down they become So Unfunny, It's Funny.

Cannot Tell a Joke / int_f361b493	comment	I Love Lucy: Lucy Ricardo was apparently unable to tell a joke. In one episode, she tried to tell about the lady who went to a butcher and asked for pork chops "and don't leave too much fat on them." The butcher replied, "Yes, ma'am. Which way?" Fred Mertz had heard the joke before and explained that the lady was supposed to say, "Be sure you make them lean." Lucy thought this was only a minor detail, when it was in fact the point of the joke. A mental health crisis followed when she felt isolated and rejected by the others.

At one point he and Megatron both attempt banter, fail miserably and decide that there was a valuable lesson in said failure. The closest he gets to successful comedy is one act of Trolling.

Cannot Tell a Joke / int_ff9ab17f	comment	In Star Trek: The Next Generation, one of Data's many attempts to become more human involves him trying to understand the nature of humor. He enlists the help of a holodeck comedian program, and memorizes all the jokes...then proceeds to completely botch the delivery of every one. It's hilarious to watch. In one of the last episodes ("Journey's End"), he actually pulled a joke off perfectly, then explained that it wasn't a serious statement, killing the joke. Even when he installs Lore's emotion chip in Star Trek: Generations and gains the emotions needed to laugh at jokes, he still isn't very good at telling them (although it's entirely possible Geordi was just tired of him trying to do it for the entire scene in question).
