Lowball Buyer Gets Roasted By Being Sent To Comedy Club

This image is a screenshot of an iMessage text exchange between a secondhand item seller and a potential buyer. The buyer first asks for the lowest price the seller will accept, to which the seller replies $700. The buyer makes an extremely low counteroffer of $200, which is far below the stated minimum. Instead of rejecting the offer, the seller pretends to accept, gives a meeting address at 101 Main in Burlington, and tells the buyer to head inside when they arrive. When the confused buyer asks if they are supposed to go into the comedy club located at that address, the seller retorts that they should go on stage and tell their bad (lowball) joke to other people, mocking the unreasonably low offer as a laughable joke.

This image is a screenshot of a text message conversation between a child and their dad. The child sends a message asking their dad to arrange a taxi for them at 7am the next day. The dad first replies 'Ok' to acknowledge the request, the child thanks him, and the dad responds with a thumbs up emoji. At 7am the following day, the dad sends the punchline message: 'You're a taxi', which is a corny dad joke playing on the double interpretation of the phrase 'call me a taxi' -- the child meant 'order a taxi for me', while the dad pretends to interpret it as 'address me as a taxi'.

This is a screenshot of an Apple iMessage conversation between a user and their upstairs neighbor. First, the neighbor texts to warn they will drop heavy items on the floor that will roll around for several hours, to which the recipient simply replies "Okay". Roughly 3 and a half hours later, the neighbor sends another advance warning that they are about to scream very loudly. The humor comes from the absurd, unexpected politeness of the neighbor giving notice for extremely disruptive, odd behavior, which subverts the common negative stereotype of rude, inconsiderate upstairs neighbors.

This meme is a screenshot of a text message exchange, likely between two former romantic partners. The conversation opens with the sender of blue texts saying 'Awesome! You?', to which the grey text sender responds 'Really good. Still single?'. The blue text sender replies with a photograph of a man in a green t-shirt struggling to climb a steep, moss-covered rock face in a forested area. The grey text sender jokes 'Haha who's that!? Looks like he's having trouble.' The punchline comes from the blue text sender's response: 'Oh, that's you trying to climb out the friend zone.' The joke uses wordplay to compare the difficult physical task of rock climbing to the near-impossible metaphorical effort of escaping the friend zone after a romantic relationship has ended.

This image is a screenshot of a conversation from a dating platform. It opens with a notification that the user matched with a person named Karen on December 31, 2018. The user first sends a pickup line pun: "You're so cute it's sKaren me", which is a play on the phrase "scaring me" that incorporates Karen's first name. Karen replies with a confused "Huh". Much later, the user follows up with a second pun, stating: "I tried to make a pun out of your name but I guess you didn't Karenough to notice", a pun on the phrase "care enough" again using Karen's name. Karen responds with another confused short reply: "What". The humor comes from the awkward, cringey failed name puns that the recipient completely fails to understand or find amusing.

This image is a screenshot of an SMS text conversation between a representative of political advocacy group Working America and an unknown recipient. First, representative Jess sends a survey message noting CEOs grew much wealthier during the COVID-19 pandemic while average people faced financial hardship, asking for the recipient's proposed solution to this wealth inequality. The recipient replies with the single word 'Guillotines', a dark humorous reference to the execution device used to behead aristocrats during the French Revolution, suggesting extreme action against wealthy elites. The Working America representative responds that they are immediately opting the recipient out of all future texts, to which the recipient replies 'Lol' in amusement.

This meme is a screenshot of an iMessage conversation introduced by the heading "How to get your girlfriends attention". The conversation opens with the sender (the boyfriend) sending two messages asking about a time travel show his girlfriend's father previously mentioned, which get no response. He then sends a message saying his ex visited him at work, to which his girlfriend immediately replies asking what the ex wanted. The sender then reveals the ex only stopped by to ask for the name of the same time travel show, highlighting that mentioning an ex is a quick way to get a distracted girlfriend's attention, which forms the core relatable joke of the meme.

This meme features a mock text exchange paired with an old feature phone T9 keypad image. The first message asks 'what's for dinner?', the reply is the number sequence '555 2 7777 2 4 66 2', and the original sender responds with confused 'huh????' before the keypad reference is shown. The number sequence decodes to 'LASAGNA' via T9 keypad input: 3 presses of 5 = L, 1 press of 2 = A, 4 presses of 7 = S, 1 press of 2 = A, 1 press of 4 = G, 2 presses of 6 = N, 1 press of 2 = A. The joke highlights that people who grew up using T9 keypad text input on pre-smartphone devices can decode this sequence instantly, forming a shared generational code that younger people who only use touchscreen smartphones cannot easily understand.

This image is a screenshot of an SMS/iMessage conversation between two unknown people. The gray message sender, who intended to text someone named Andrew, first asks if Andrew is attending a Saturday potluck. The blue message recipient immediately informs the sender they have texted the wrong number. Undeterred, the sender first sends a typo-ridden message 'I'm bring chili', corrects the typo, then proceeds to spam the phrase 'I'm bringing chili' repeatedly, even after the recipient restates that they have the wrong number. The recipient briefly responds 'Ok' to the spam before restating it is a wrong number, but the sender continues to send the same line about bringing chili anyway. The humor derives from the absurd, stubborn commitment of the wrong number sender to declare they are bringing chili, regardless of the fact they are talking to a complete stranger.

This image is a screenshot of a mock iOS iMessage conversation between an unnamed sender and a contact named Chris. The exchange opens with the sender expressing sympathy for Chris's brother being in jail. Chris responds that his brother is incarcerated for 'something he didn't do', prompting the sender to ask what action he failed to do. The punchline arrives when Chris answers 'Run fast enough', which is a dark humorous twist revealing that Chris's brother did commit the crime he was jailed for, he only failed to run away fast enough to avoid being caught by law enforcement, playing on the double meaning of the phrase 'something he didn't do'.
