When someone tells a joke that you don't find funny, how do you react?

Select an answer:

I smile out of politeness, but in my mind, I am thinking about something else. I'm trying to understand the joke and I'm looking for a deeper meaning in it. I will speak openly and say that it did not appeal to me, but I will be surprised by the next one. I will start coming up with my own version of the joke to "save it." I will honestly laugh, not because of the content, but because of the situation itself.

Too vulgar or aggressive jokes. Jokes that go "below the belt" regardless of the situation. Dry humor that takes a long time to appreciate. Complex, intellectual humor that requires too much explanation. Jokes that are so absurd that I can't tell if they are serious or not.

Imagine you are in a company where no one has a sense of humor. What will you do?

I will adapt and be formal. I will try to find at least one person who understands my humor. I will subtly try to see if they at least laugh at something.
