Occasionally the situation arrises where a real life event relates to something in a book or movie or tv show or game etc which would be humourous to mention, but theres no one around who watches that show or has seen that movie or read that book, and I just gotta say it because i cant hold somethin i think is funny to myself, so i go for it anyway and the humour just goes past them and i look like a complete fool. On a good day i'd just give up at this point, but sometimes i then go into explaining the reference and it just makes me look worse
