I was working in the yard last weekend and realized the joke behind Lt. Dangle's name being "Dangle" on <i>Reno 911</i>, 3 or so years after the show first started.

Have you ever gotten the punchline of a joke or realized some obscure humor long after the initial joke has passed?

I finally got that joke LaForge made on the Firepoint mission.

Whenever I re-watch old Simpsons episodes, I "get" a lot of jokes that flew right over my head when I was like 9 years old.

A little off tangent, but the actors from Reno 911 came to one of my classes last week. That swear quite a bit.

I watched the episode of Rocko's Modern Life where they go grocery shopping last week and noticed something rather naughty. At one point, Spunky gets attacked by a meat wrapping machine and put out for sale. A giant bull man grabs Spunky and Rocko attempts to change his mind by mentioning various chemicals the meat could contain, such as CFCs, MSG, and even PCP, at which point the bull says "I like PCP." and walks off with the meat.

Being twenty years old I realize how twisted that is in a kid's cartoon. ;)

"A little slow on the uptake there?" is my middle name. Yes, even the question mark is in there.

There was something couple days ago that I realized that I thought was brilliant, that I should have realized like a long time ago, but I forgot what it was. o_O;; Story of my life, eh.

Oh yeah.

A lot of the stuff my friends say, too. They talk so fast and stuff I don't always get it right away I just laugh and pray they don't ask me questions and then they're off my back thank god.

I didn't understand any jokes until Geordi installed an emotion chip to my neural net.

edit: Too late. ;[

The Majority of Ren and Stimpy. All the freakishly high amount of Gay Jokes and other Sexual humor frightens me.

For me it would mostly be rap songs that I listend to when I was young and had no Idea what they were talking about.

Seymour Butts wasn't funny when I first heard it. Now it never ceases to please.

Usually movies or series that I haven't seen in years, and now suddenly notice all the sexual innuendo.

I fail to see what is funny about Everybody Loves Raymond. O wait, I remember, there isn't anything funny about Everybody Love Raymond.

According to my friends, I laugh at a joke 3 times.

First time when everyone else laughs, just PRETENDING that I get it. They realise I didn't get it, and explain.

The second laugh is when I understand, but don't find it funny.

Finally after thinking about it I laugh.

Well do you at least have a cute laugh?

I understand everything from the get go because I was born with the knowledge of a thousand wise men.

There was a joke in a computer game that a friend used to play. I figured it out a month or so ago. To give you an idea of how bad that is- I saw the game in sixth grade. I am now in my second year of college. :riiight:

Yeah, I used to watch that as a kid. 10 years later, a week from my 17th birthday, I'm just now understanding the jokes (I got the first 2 seasons for Christmas 2 years ago.)

I never realized his name was Dangle.

There was a joke I got late the other day... like after months. Don't remember what it was though.

Sybil: Well you look happy to me, Basil.
Basil: No I’m not, dear.
Sybil: All that dancing about, singing and rubbing your hands.
Basil: No, just my way of getting through the day, dear. The Samaritans were engaged.

I never got the Samaritans reference until years and years after I first saw the programme...
