Be honest, how long before you figured it out

Ok… it’s not really a joke though.

Of course it's a joke.

Or do you really think the reindeers were sitting there in class reading their report cards, while someone sat their drawing a visually accurate record of events? 😳

HelloagainLilibet · 18/12/2022 10:39

That’s not even a joke, just silly

BayCityTrollers · 18/12/2022 09:27

Don’t get it at all!😵‍💫

I don't either, but it is likely to be due to us not knowing the words to ''Rudolf the red nosed reindeer''..Was he meant to be bad at maths?

jellyjellopeea · 18/12/2022 10:40

Is it a Far Side cartoon? If not it's definitely on the same ilk. Subtle but the kind of thing that keeps me giggling for ages Grin

georgarina · 18/12/2022 10:40

Yeah got it

PurpleButterflyWings · 18/12/2022 10:41

I thought the letters spelled out the song 'Rudolf the red nosed reindeer' (like, the notes...) But then as I sang it to myself I realised that didn't work! Then I saw the grade had gone down in history and it clicked. Maybe 1 and a half minutes it took me! Grin

It's a mediocre joke. Not awful, not great. My DH would have tears rolling down his cheeks if I showed it to him, because he finds shit/bad/dad jokes funny. I don't. He has a lot of giggly child in his heart. I'm a miserable cunt sometimes. 😂(especially when it comes to jokes... They have to be verrrrry funny.)

I googled lyrics...you need to know the lyrics.. ''You'll go down in history''...
Then how the reindeer loved him
As they shouted out with glee
"Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer
You'll go down in history"

TeapotTitties · 18/12/2022 10:41

Honestly, for the people saying they still don't get it, it's been explained more than once.

Surely you can just Google the words if you're unfamiliar with them?

Daechwita · 18/12/2022 10:42

Took me about a minute. Not especially funny.

KimberleyClark · 18/12/2022 10:43

Finally got it, but it’s feeble.

Funkyslippers · 18/12/2022 10:44

I got it after singing the song, bit it's not particularly funny

Suboptimalsitch · 18/12/2022 10:45

I wouldn’t have worked that out.

Funkyslippers · 18/12/2022 10:45

It does work as a cartoon as you have to think about it, well I did anyway!

Bigdamnheroes · 18/12/2022 10:45

That is dreadful 😂 That's like a Christmas cracker joke. Its so bad.

Ourlittleharmonica · 18/12/2022 10:46

About 10 seconds but it's not funny 😂

NormalNans · 18/12/2022 10:47

As someone else said, it’s a Christmas cracker joke. Took about 5 seconds to get it.

SnaccidentsHappen · 18/12/2022 10:51

I had to sing the song but yes

1dontunderstand · 18/12/2022 10:52

I had to sing the sing but I knew the answer was in their somewhere

I didn't get it without hints. I didn't understand the columns 1-4 - are they supposed to be termly grades? Hence one particular subject getting worse. I assume it's American as we never had anything like that at school.

We get a grid at the end of each term and have all throughout our kids' time at two different senior schools, so I don't think it's particularly "American".

MountainChalet · 18/12/2022 10:54

Took me a few minutes but got it. Just saw the comments afterwards

quinceh · 18/12/2022 10:55

Ha ha it’s a good one. It took me a couple
of mins. It helped when I stopped thinking Rudolph was a wolf 😂

girlmom21 · 18/12/2022 10:57

Shouldbeworkingnotreadingtalk · 18/12/2022 09:29

He'll go down in "History"...

I thought it was this straight away but didn't understand how it was funny so was trying to understand what the joke could be 🤣

JanglyBeads · 18/12/2022 10:59

Got it but only whenI read the clue above.

It'd be better if the other grades went (eg)
A A+
B B+
C B
B D+
A A
or whatever......

JanglyBeads · 18/12/2022 11:00

Only works as a quick fire joke it it's easy to get.
