15 People Who Should Never Write Their Own Jokes

As much as everyone may wish they were a comedian, only a select few can truly pull off a decent joke. It's not as easy as you might think to come up with something funny. That's why lots of us scroll aimlessly through the comment sections instead of posting, afraid we'll be mocked for not saying something entertaining enough. But sometimes, people think they're funny even though they clearly aren't, which is a lot worse, because they then force everyone else to look at their bad joke and shake their heads in annoyance and a little bit of secondhand embarrassment.

However, online, this rule clearly doesn't apply, since awful jokes can be found in the thousands throughout Twitter and Reddit. Below are 15 attempts at comedy that 100% failed because a user decided to explain the same joke or just repeated what was said before them. Here are 15 of our favorites collected from the subreddit /r/YourJokeButWorse.
