    If you have to explain a joke, it’s probably not funny. I got it and it still wasn’t funny.

    That would be enough by itself, harsh but reasonable.

    Maybe you’re just not funny.

    Now that’s just mean and uncalled for.

      I guess the only criticism you’re used to is praise.

      That would distort how you perceive your humor.

        Actually the fist statement you made is a criticism on the joke.

        The second statement is a generalized assumption on OPs character traits.

        To assume someone just isn’t funny (in general) by reading one of their comments reveals a lot about how dense you are.
