Be honest, how long before you figured it out

Didn’t get it till a poster explained, but now it keeps making me giggle!

ElizabethBest · 18/12/2022 11:25

I got it but it straight away but it was so bad I wasn’t sure that was the actual joke!

BellePeppa · 18/12/2022 11:28

I was too focused on the word ‘his’ and trying to work out if it was some kind of gender based joke 😳 There’s so much obsession nowadays with gender I’m seeing it where it’s not even there 😁

TheMarzipanDildo · 18/12/2022 11:28

I’ve just got it. Bloody hell that’s bad 😂

Sarahcoggles · 18/12/2022 11:34

For those who still haven't got it, the last line of the song is "Rudolph the red nosed reindeer, you'll go down in history".

30 seconds, it’s not a laugh out loud joke.

surreygirl1987 · 18/12/2022 11:41

10 seconds. Hadn't a clue at first. Not that funny though- a 'groan' joke.

Haha me too for the first few seconds 😂

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

Not even funny.

pointythings · 18/12/2022 11:43

Worked it out. It's a terrible but funny joke.

CrunchyCarrot · 18/12/2022 11:43

Didn't get the joke, apart from thinking it must be about history, but don't know the words of the song all the way through. Dreadful joke, scraping the bottom of the barrel with that one!

LosingTheWill2022 · 18/12/2022 11:43

Not instant but a few seconds.
It amused me

WhatHoJeeves · 18/12/2022 11:46

I got it before I even opened the thread but I think it's the worst joke in the history of the world.

Just to add to the competitiveness and the miserable comments. 🎅

I actually think it's really clever and the fact that it takes some working out makes it better. It's silly and I like silly!

dudsville · 18/12/2022 11:47

I also had to go through the song. That's cute!

Dreamwhisper · 18/12/2022 11:48

Omg I just got it, it took me a full minute and I saw a comment on page one that was a good hint 😅

Rewis · 18/12/2022 11:50

Didn't get it until I read the "answer". I knew the history was relevant and kept trying to see if His B+D makes a pun. I kinda didn't register the animal. But it's decently funny 😁

JustDanceAddict · 18/12/2022 11:57

I had to sing the song! Pretty rubbish joke though.

JenniferBarkley · 18/12/2022 11:59

Saw it on Twitter last night, took me a beat.

Agree it's not a joke because it's not funny. It'd be good in a picture round of a quiz for kids though.

Proudofitbabe · 18/12/2022 12:02

Got it quickly but not funny as a joke, more like a quiz round.

Lilavanblue · 18/12/2022 12:07

30 sec 😃

ladysystem · 18/12/2022 12:10

About 15 seconds. Got an ear worm now.

sanityisamyth · 18/12/2022 12:17

Ohhhh I see. Hilarious ...

Thanks.
Feeble joke.

Horizons83 · 18/12/2022 12:25

Wow there really are some miserable people on Mumsnet!

I thought it was funny OP, once I had sung through the song lyrics and worked it out :)

UseOfWeapons · 18/12/2022 12:53

Wouldn’t say it’s a joke, though.
