There's nothing like a good joke. And the humor these characters are known for is nothing like a good joke. A character or show whose jokes are so bad, and whose sense of humor is so trite, corny, and childish that — paradoxically — you can't help but laugh at it. Usually includes some examples of Don't Explain the Joke. In English slang, this type of joke is commonly called a "groaner" or "dad joke" (the latter because jokes like this are the bread and butter of a Bumbling Dad's awkward attempts at humournote More specifically, "dad joke" can also refer to an irritating sort of inverted Who's on First? puns. For example: "Dad, I'm hungry." "Hi Hungry, I'm Dad."). Other languages also have words for this phenomenon: for instance, in Indonesian, a joke that's So Unfunny It's Funny is called a jayus. When the effect was unintentional, it's like a Narm moment, but for something that was supposed to be funny. Often, this will be Played for Laughs when a show includes a wisecracking character whose jokes always fit this trope, or a horrible comedy as a Show Within a Show. In these cases, it's a form of Stylistic Suck. However, when an entire show fits this trope, it's probably unintentional. Note that this is rare; it's said that while most genres, badly done, become comedies; bad drama, bad sci-fi, bad horror, etc. can all become targets of audience mockery or So Bad, It's Good, but a bad comedy by definition fails at being funny. Failing so hard you succeed is a rare gift. A common variety is to have something overloaded with so many bad funnies at the end you are laughing for some reason. Closely related to (and often a component of) So Bad, It's Good. Often related to Cannot Tell a Joke. Compare and contrast Anti-Humor, where the conventions of comedy are defied on purpose. Not to be confused with The Comically Serious (formerly known as "The Unfunny"). Sort of like Crosses the Line Twice, only with (lack of) humor instead of offensiveness. |

In Chile this is known as "The different humor". It's really hard to pull it off but sometimes it works. 31 Minutos use this on occasion, sometimes lampshaded by the characters. Musician/Comedian Felo made an entire career out of this. | |

Dee's comedy routines in It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. Usually, it's about 1/3 of a mildly okay joke before she chokes out on stage fright. In "The Gang Broke Dee", it notably improves after she suffers a bout of depression and channels it into her work, but then she gets (engineered) encouragement, the fame immediately goes to her head, and the entire routine devolves into her making stupid noises with her mouth and talking about her vagina. | |

The Simpsons: In "Bart the Genius", the teacher at the gifted school writes "r-cubed over three" on the board, which the rest of the class laughs at in amusement, but Bart doesn't understand. She then explains another way of writing it, according to Calculus, is "r-squared dr", or (going backwards from right to left) "R D RR"....Hardy Har Har! Doubles as a Genius Bonus if you know enough about algebraic formatting to know that "RDRR" would never appear using proper formatting, and you would have to purposefully go out of your way to write out the expression the wrong way to make the joke work. Krusty the Clown was attempting to be the living embodiment of this trope. One of the writers said that it was a really hard balancing act of making the jokes unfunny yet still making the character a source of comedy. For example, from "The Last Temptation Of Krust": In "A Star Is Burns", Rainier Wolfcastle's attempt at stand-up comedy, where he cracks unfunny jokes and carries enough firepower to violently put down hecklers. Homer's attempts at roasting Mr. Burns during "Rosebud" fail in hilarious fashion. Of course, the dead puppy in the parking lot didn't help. "The Simpsons Spin-off Showcase" used this for two-thirds of its spinoffs. The sitcom parody mixed canned laughter at stupid jokes with very Black Comedy. The Variety Show parody just used very, very bad humour with subtler indications that it was entirely on purpose. Marge, of all people. Whenever she actually tries to crack a joke, she's always very pleased with herself, but nobody else is because her sense of humor is so incredibly bland. Even when she tries not to be bland it usually fails in some hilarious way. In "King of the Hill": In "Weekend At Burnsie's", Mr. Burns is writing jokes for his appearance at a fundraiser, testing them on Smithers and Homer (the latter because while he was hooked on medicinal marijuana, thought his earlier jokes were hilarious): |

Not to be undone, Ross of Steam Train kicks off one of their episodes of No Time to Explain with (drumroll) a ketchup pun because the Player Character had a burger for a head. What makes it funny is he told Dan with intense sincerity before the episode began that he had "a killer opening" and they did a big countdown to ensure he got the timing and inflection just right, which made the absolute Anti-Climax much funnier than if he'd actually told an amazing joke. | |

Teen Titans Go! "Uncle Jokes" has Robin only telling these jokes. Starfire learns humor from Beast Boy and Cyborg, which messes up Robin's mind and the status quo when she becomes a third clown like them. The only way they fix it is by giving her the "uncle" treatment. The only person who finds Robin's jokes funny is Raven. | |

In Half-Life 2: Episode 1, Alyx notices Combine soldiers infected by headcrabs and quips "Hmmm. A Combine zombie. That's, that's like a...ah...a Zombine! Right? Heh... Zombine, get it?" however, she quickly realizes the joke isn't funny. (Still, the name stuck, so a point in her favor.) The exchange is made even funnier when you realize that Gordon Freeman met her joke with his characteristic silence, hence Alyx's awkwardness. |

The Arrested Development episode "Not Without My Daughter" does this. When George Michael was six years old, his father brought him to the Bluth Company's "Bring Your Daughter to Work Day" as a joke, and it became something of a tradition in his family; George Michael insists on keeping it up when he's sixteen, oblivious to the fact that no one at the company finds it funny anymore. The sheer awkwardness of his attempt to make it funny, though, is hilarious. | |

Granny Weatherwax's attempts to tell jokes in the Discworld series. There's also the clowns and jesters of the Ankh-Morpork Fools' Guild, whose grim dedication to tired old gags and jokes and reflexive inability to resist an obvious set-up make them objects of scorn and pity. |

The "Talking Houses" sketches on The Muppet Show were retired after the first season, possibly because it was generally agreed that they were genuinely not funny. The Talking Houses Twitter feed takes the "My [relative] is [doing something]." "Is he a [profession related to that thing]?" "No, he's a [building related to that thing]!" formula and absolutely runs with it, and is somehow hilarious. | |

In Roots of Pacha, Igrork, your adoptive grandfather, may ask you how you're feeling. You can say that you're tired or good, but you can also groan because you can see his "grandpa joke" coming. However, Igrork turns it on you by going, "Hi Not-falling-for-this-again, I'm Grandpa!" | |

Retsupurae has Let's Play IMDB: slowbeef and Diabeetus mock a Let's Play of Apocalypse for the PlayStation, a mind-numbingly generic game apart from the fact that the protagonist is modeled after and voiced by Bruce Willis, which prompt them to make a Hurricane of Puns involving the titles of everything Willis has ever worked on. And once they run of those, they make puns with random film and television titles for the rest of the over-an-hour-long video. At one point they briefly pause and wonder who in their right mind is still watching. | |

While playing Super Mario Maker Arin unleashes Yoda Jokes, the gist being that after Yoda "retires from The Force" he becomes a terrible stand-up comedian. The jokes are god-awful, but his impression of Yoda, the sheer intensity he delivers the jokes with, and Dan getting increasingly flustered by Jirard's unfairly difficult level makes them hilarious: | |

His take on the Four Yorkshiremen skit probably counts as well, deriving some of its humour value from how the three comedians (Izzard, Vic Reeves and Harry Enfield) have clearly seen the skit a million times and can quote it verbatim, and therefore improvise and/or ham up every line to spice things up a bit, plus having a straight man (Alan Rickman) who had never seen it before and was simply pushed on-stage with a script. | |

Avatar: The Last Airbender: Many of Sokka's weird nicknames and jokes are this. (And apparently so are his father's, according to a comment from Bato when Sokka makes one in Bato's presence.) Apparently the unfunny-is-funny effect holds true for the rest of the gAang as well as the audience, because by season 3, they have gotten so used to Sokka's particular sense of humor that they actually miss his jokes when he's off training with his master—and the replacement jokes they try to make are even more unfunny-funny (but only to the audience, not them). Even resident Dark Action Girl villain Azula gets into the mix in Breather Episode "The Beach", in which she attempts to socialize with normal Fire Nation teens but can't quite keep her sociopathic nature and lust for power hidden, leading her to come across as something of a creepy Stepford Smiler. |

The Afterschool Alleyway Alliance in Carnival Phantasm is essentially a trio of normally-Out of Focus characters trying to win the audience's attention by performing onstage and telling a bunch of rapid-fire routines that all follow the exact same format. It's one of those times where you can tell they've been practicing very hard on it and mastered the ability to turn in-time and say their catchphrase... but tragically haven't worked out a good joke. | |

In Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger, the team's Blue Ranger Nobuharu (AKA Nossan) is fond of making "dad joke"-style puns, further emphasizing this role as the Team Dad. It actually serves an important use in one episode, where the villains are hypnotizing his sister Yuko with an illusion of her late husband Kenichi: Nossan starts craking some of his trademark jokes, which makes "Kenichi" get angry and start yelling at him to shut up. This makes Yuko realize that it's a fake, since her husband was very fond of Nobuharu and actually liked his goofy jokes. | |

Pinky and the Brain: The Brain tries to be stand-up comedian in yet another Zany Scheme to Take Over the World. All he has are really complicated scientific and mathematical jokes, which bores the audience to tears. But it gets funny when he gets angry at them, wishing for their deaths using overly complicated, Rube Goldberg-esque situations. He also tried this in one issue of the comics, where he did tell a pretty funny joke, but it went right over the heads of his provincial audience: "What did Euripides say when he tore his trousers?... 'Where's Eumenides when I need him?'... Don't you understand?! 'You-rip-a-these'... 'You-mend-a-these'?!" And of course, no one can ever forget "Obey me, for I am the [hilariously violent epileptic fit] Overlord!" |

30 Rock leans heavily on this in the TGS with Tracy Jordan portions of the show, being basically written as all the worst Saturday Night Live skits compiled into a single series. Recurring ones have included Diaper Chicken, Pam the Overly Confident Yet Morbidly Obese Woman, Prince William and Prince: Time-Traveling Fart Detectives, The Star Jones Gastric Bypass Cooking Show, and Robot Versus Bear. The forced catchphrases, dated references to current events, Vulgar Humor leaning heavily on stereotypes, and some of the clumsiest slapstick you've ever seen all help make the show infinitely funnier than it would be if it were actually meant to be competent. | |

In Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, Miles tries to save face when caught sneaking into Physics class late by making a joke on the theory of relativity. Gwen laughs a little, but from the awkward silence from the class and not the joke itself. | |

Game Grumps: During their playthrough of Pokémon FireRed, Danny (who doesn't know much about the franchise) keeps cracking jokes of varying quality about the design of every new Pokémon they encounter. Enters Rhyhorn, and all he finds to say is "his head is weird". It sends them on a bigger laughing fit than any of the actual jokes. Another video had Arin mention a friend- Chris "Oney" O'Neil of OneyPlays- who was given an assignment in elementary school to write a joke to share with the class. Having blown off the assignment, he had to come up with one at the last minute. Having figured out the cadence of joke ("Ba-da-da-da da-da-da, da-da buh-da-da-da? Bah-da-da-da!"), he ad-libbed something to the effect of "What's the difference between a moodle and a banoodle? SKABOODLE!" which the other kids found hilarious- the teacher, not so much. Arin also says that when Oney recounted this story in the car, everyone present absolutely lost it. Dan is in disbelief that his "douchey teacher" didn't find it funny. While playing Super Mario Maker Arin unleashes Yoda Jokes, the gist being that after Yoda "retires from The Force" he becomes a terrible stand-up comedian. The jokes are god-awful, but his impression of Yoda, the sheer intensity he delivers the jokes with, and Dan getting increasingly flustered by Jirard's unfairly difficult level makes them hilarious: One of their plays of Kirby's Epic Yarn has them trading jokes they found from a compendium of terrible jokes... said in obnoxious New Yorker voices. They are howling with laughter the entire time. Not to be undone, Ross of Steam Train kicks off one of their episodes of No Time to Explain with (drumroll) a ketchup pun because the Player Character had a burger for a head. What makes it funny is he told Dan with intense sincerity before the episode began that he had "a killer opening" and they did a big countdown to ensure he got the timing and inflection just right, which made the absolute Anti-Climax much funnier than if he'd actually told an amazing joke. |

Persona: In Persona 3, Ikutsuki's jokes are so incredibly lame that it becomes impossible not to laugh at them. Margaret in Persona 4 starts telling truly awful jokes completely seriously as you begin to progress down her Social Link. She seems disappointed that she can't make the protagonist laugh. |

RedLetterMedia: "101 Wacky Kid Jokes" 2 Parter. It has Rich Evans reading a book of the same title, the whole joke being that titular book was unfunny. A "with kids" edition was later done. In it, they test the jokes on two kids. One kid clearly disliked the jokes and tried ignoring Rich. The other kid laughed, but called the jokes stupid and ran away because he just couldn't handle them. This trope is commonly invoked by Red Letter Media in general, often involving Rich trying to say something funny, only for everyone else to stop what they're doing and just stew in awkward silence for a few seconds. |

Muscle Man in Regular Show tells Your Mom jokes but with "your mom" replaced with "my mom," generally with a Mad Libs Catchphrase structure of "You know who else [x]? My mom!" The general lack of humor involved has been lampshaded a few times by other characters, but every time, he still delivers it like it's the funniest thing ever. A later episode revealed that they started out as an attempt to mimic his dad's "my wife" jokes. | |

The RiffTrax for the X-Men movie, around the middle, had Mike start randomly adding "o" to the end of phrases, and it culminated with him and Bill muttering "Cerebro" and "Magneto" to each other repeatedly in their best Ian McKellen and Patrick Stewart impressions. It really wasn't a joke at all, but somehow ended up being the most hilarious thing of the whole Rifftrax. | |

Bicentennial Man has Andrew's attempt at making the Martin family laugh. He's a robot who's only recently learned of the concept of humor, so his comedy routine consists of a rapid fire stream of lame jokes with no thought put into comedic timing, delivery, or even making sure the jokes are appropriate for the audience. Despite this, the Martins still end up laughing at his jokes (the laughter is genuine on the actors' part, as the jokes were unscripted and improvised by Robin Williams). | |

Saturday Night Live: The Weekend Update also has Nicholas Fehn, a topical comedian whose jokes basically consist of him not being able to finish a sentence, which results in the jokes sounding (intentionally) long-winded and convoluted. There was also Gary Macdonald, Norm Macdonald's "brother" (really David Koechner), and "the funny one in the family", who would come on Weekend Update and attempt some topical humor, usually telling the lamest joke possible. What made it funny was how visibly nervous he was to be on TV telling jokes, and the fact that he ended each joke with the word "no", as if it was part of the sentence. Sometimes SNL lampoons actual other entertainers, like David Letterman, for failing at humor. The entire sketch called "What Up With That?" The entire joke, and the plot of literally every sketch, is that talk show host Diondre Cole ("Taking on the issues of today with soul!") is so enamored of his own show's theme song that he can't stop singing it for more than a couple of minutes at the longest, launching back into it at the slightest opportunity, and running out the clock so that his invited celebrity guests (playing themselves, plus Bill Hader as Fleetwood Mac guitarist Lindsay Buckingham) never get the chance to say more than a few words (and Buckingham none, despite there being some special reason for him being there, or he made special effort to be there), much to their annoyance. That is literally every sketch. Not only was it a very popular sketch for a long while, it also never failed to bring the house down. |

Halfway through The Sixth Sense, Malcolm tries to get his patient Cole to ease up by performing a magic trick where he claims to move a coin from his hand to his shirt pocket, etc. Problem is, he never takes the coin out of either spot, he just taps the spot and claims the coin moved there. It actually works and convinces Cole that he has nothing to fear from Malcolm. Later Cole is seen doing the same trick to another kid, who just dismisses it as "stupid." | |

Beast Wars has a lot of instances of this: Quite a few characters have running gags: Dinobot and Rattrap calling each other names, Inferno thinking he's a real ant and calling Megatron "The Royalty" and "My Queen", Optimus Primal and Rhinox's dad jokes, Megatron's hamminess and vanity, Waspinator being the Butt-Monkey of the show, and most of Ratrap's one-liners. What's actually funny, more often than not, is the routine Lampshade Hanging of these gags. Megatron gloating? Not that funny. Megatron laughing at his own jokes? Not especially funny. Megatron laughing at his own jokes so hard he starts coughing? Hilarious! Blackarachnia insulting the Maximals for giving sappy speeches? Not particularly funny. Airrazor immediately punching her out for doing so? Hilarious! Even Rattrap found it funny. "The Low Road", an episode heavily involving Rattrap and Dinobot bickering, slapstick, and Toilet Humour, is roughly a full half-hour of this trope. Whole swaths of Ratrap's dialogue. In almost every episode Rattrap will crack a lame joke, literally no one around him will find it funny (in many cases they will find it annoying, even sternly telling him to shut up), and then he'll be disappointed that they didn't find it funny. This culminates in one of the best jokes in the show: |

During their playthrough of Pokémon FireRed, Danny (who doesn't know much about the franchise) keeps cracking jokes of varying quality about the design of every new Pokémon they encounter. Enters Rhyhorn, and all he finds to say is "his head is weird". It sends them on a bigger laughing fit than any of the actual jokes. | |

Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Gutbusters, an extremely old board game that Grampa often forces his grandsons to play when they stay over. The game’s rules are simply that the last to laugh wins. However, the game was made several decades ago and none of the jokes make sense to anybody from after Grampa’s generation, so Greg nearly always wins. The sole “joke� we hear sets the tone. | |

Codename: Kids Next Door has Pungeon Master Numbuh Two, who is hilarious, to the viewer at least, because he delivers his jokes with so much hammy enthusiasm it's hard not to laugh. (His Evil Counterpart in "Operation: P.O.O.L." is genuinely funny since the two are polar opposites.) | |

Max's jokes in the Sam And Max games are occasionally played for this, like a joke involving The Pope, Chester A. Arthur and a candiru fish that he made during his presidential campaign in "Abe Lincoln Must Die!". His Psychic Ventriloquism gags in Season 3 are about half this trope, and half an excuse to make lowest-common-denominator fart jokes without having to feel bad about it. In "The Tomb of Sammun-Mak", all the punchlines to the comics in the Egyptian newspaper turn out to involve committing the grievous faux pas of cutting cucumbers lengthwise. |

Invoked in-universe in The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel when Susie takes Midge to an out-of-the-way club where comedians try out their more experimental material. The two end up seeing a ventriloquist performance where the gimmick is that the comedian comes out to gloomily announce that he found his beloved dummy has died, but that his comedic partner would wish that he go on with the show regardless. What follows is an absurd tonal mismatch in which the depressed comic sets up the bawdiest jokes imaginable, tonelessly telling the audience how his dummy would have delivered the punchline were he still living. Midge and Susie are in tears, wondering aloud how something can be so devoid of humour that it becomes absolutely hilarious. | |

Homestar Runner: In the Strong Bad Email "stand-up", Strong Sad treats the audience to a home movie of a young Strong Bad doing a hilariously awkward stand-up routine for a school talent show. In "Halloween Fairstival", Bub's stand-up comedy routine consists of stock jokes boiled down to their absolute most generic form, and occasionally mashed up in ways that make no sense. Strong Mad is the only person who finds it funny. The SBEmail "old comics" features "The Castlefunnies", a newspaper comic that's a rather clear parody of comic strip Long-Runners. Strong Bad describes it as coming from an era when "comics didn't seem to need jokes or humor or readers under the age of ninety-one," and true to form, it seems to be mostly the King of Town complaining about his ointments and health problems. Strong Bad did find the name "Mushy Chamberpot" to be Actually Pretty Funny, though. |

In Ace Attorney, Moe the clown encourages Phoenix to tell a joke. Clearly put on the spot, Phoenix says "Why am I, Phoenix Wright, such a great lawyer? Because I'm Wright all the time!" Cue awkward silence. A lot of Moe's jokes fall into this as well. The fact that he laughs uproariously at his own horrible jokes doesn't help his case. This is implied to be because he's well past his prime. |

King Kai from Dragon Ball Z has this trope as his shtick. Not one of his jokes are legitimately funny, and that's the joke. One joke in the English dub of Kai, however ("They should call him SLOW-KU!") is VERY funny if you read it as a dig at the original DBZ's notoriously slow pace. | |

How I Met Your Mother: Ted seems to enjoy bad Puns, explaining that it's because they're so bad that they're funny. Much of the group's "wit" is this, as well. Having a character with the last name "Wharmpess" isn't funny. Giving him a dream of starting his own brewery named after him is not funny. The characters drinking his product and declaring it delicious is not funny. Repeating his last name as the name of the beer several times during the episode, and never once having the characters notice that they are drinking and enjoying a beer called "Warm Piss" is hilarious. A Running Gag in a number of episodes is how the episode is mostly just a Framing Device as the characters are trying to tell someone else a long, convoluted story. One episode in particular had Barney talking about the absolute hilarity of something that happened at to Marshall at work that day, which starts off mildly amusing (forgot his dress pants at home) and get a little bit funnier (Barney shredded them with scissors, forcing Marshall to work with cut-off dress pants), but the funniest part of the whole story is how Barney is just gasping for air thinking it was the funniest thing ever. |

On Night Court, Christine was generally portrayed as this, when she had a sense of humor at all. Usually she only tried for humor when she was trying to fit in with the goofiness of the other characters.
