A joke that is meant to be funny but isn't. It will often kill
the atmosphere at parties and social events (Unfunny Joke conventions
excluded).
The joke could be unfunny because it has no
pay off, it is said in the wrong way or is too hard or complex for the audience to understand. Other reasons for the joke being unfunny is that it is blatantly plagiarised.
