    “You had to be there” lol

    I hate those situations especially when it’s weird niche humor. You can’t explain the joke or tell them they won’t get it, it’s a lose-lose.

      An old Jew dies and goes to heaven. He’s waiting in line at the gates, and he’s telling a joke that has everyone cracking up. God is curious so he wanders over and asks what the joke is. The Jew says, “oh, it’s a Holocaust joke”. God says, " I don’t think Holocaust jokes are funny." The Jew says, “eh, you wouldnt get it, I guess you had to be there”
