Or have I lost my sense of humour?

Dh saw something on one of his social medias that is basically a prank.

So you pay £5 to have an empty envelope delivered to someone, but the envelope is bright pink and has like pantysniffer printed all over it as if it is a delivery of used underwear. It's sent signed for delivery so essentially is meant to humiliate the recipient and probably the postie too.

So he's laughing like a little kid at the thought of this and I just don't really get it. I started work up upstairs and he came in before to tell me the hilarious news that he bought it for his friend - he literally couldn't breathe for laughing.

He then told me I was boring and I've lost my sense of humour. I just said I've grown up. He's mid 30s for context.

So am I boring? Is this actually funny?

Get one delivered to him at his workplace, see how funny he finds that.

D's 26 had this earlier in the year. He's pretty sure his tatty ex gf sent it. The only thing he thought was amusing was that she'd played for it

EveryFlightBeginsWithAFall · 13/11/2021 15:12

Twatty not tatty but still

StoneofDestiny · 13/11/2021 15:52

Gross, unfunny and immature - and I'd have thought that aged 10!

ChampagneLassie · 13/11/2021 16:18

I think its quite funny...I know my DP would think this is funny and the sort of prank he would like to play . It harmless humour, not worth getting upset about

Send him a box with 'Viagra' and 'Urgent' printed all over it to his workplace. See how he likes it.

You can't really dictate what's funny and what's not. Clearly enough people think it's funny for it to be a business. If his friend thinks it's funny too, no harm done really.

You can, however, draw conclusions about who he is if his friend doesn't find it funny - perhaps because his wife or children received the parcel - and he insists that it is. Then he's one of those people who not only think humiliation humour is funny, but that they alone can dictate whom to humiliate and that they too must find it funny, or else they are Wrong. You should be wary of those people.

Lightswitch123 · 13/11/2021 16:59

Sorry but he sounds like a sad and pathetic little man.

Topseyt · 13/11/2021 17:01

I wouldn't find it funny either. I think it is all part of the cheapening and objectifying of women.

Not impressive at all and spectacularly immature.

UnsuitableHat · 13/11/2021 17:04

Horses for courses I guess. I wouldn’t find it funny or worth the effort. Would just eye roll at the ‘no sense of humour’ comment.

Skeumorph · 13/11/2021 18:35

Bit unimaginative. Not funny… or rather ‘funny’ in the way innuendo-laden birthday cards in comic sans font are ‘funny’ and also Allo Allo.

He was seriously hysterical? Oh dear I would say he’s the one with no sense of humour.

^Yeah humiliate him. Hilarious Hmm

billy1966 · 13/11/2021 19:01

This would give me the Ick I'm afraid.

Moronic humour is not attractive.

KateTheEighth · 13/11/2021 19:03

I've said it before and I'll say it again

Prankers are wankers

Ricetwisty · 13/11/2021 19:04

I have a fairly shit sense of humour, but no, nothing funny about that at all. And why pay a fiver for something you could just post yourself Confused
