I thought it was a great joke. I got crickets.

It's a well loved show, maybe no one laughed because they though you were douchebag? Maybe there was only one idiot who didn't get it and asked the stupid question
 
That's not a good joke in normal circumstances, but when your audience consists of people who are talking about how much they love something and you say "oh, yeah, you know that thing you like, well it's only good for TORTURE! HAHAHAHAH!"? Yeah, that joke is going to go over like a hard boiled egg fart.

This is correct. OP you are now not one of the "cool" people that like the show Friends, and I hate that show because the characters are incredibly stupid with constantly vapid dialog.

Your co-workers are idiots for being entertained by such empty entertainment, but you're not much brighter having not realized that your joke won't go over well with the intended audience of airhead Friend's viewers. Rule #1 of comedy: Know your audience.

The good news? Because you're not much brighter than they are you'll fit right in as soon as you learn to enjoy Joey and Schwimmer's character's DUHs. See? How funny did you find that? Not very funny did you because I made fun of you. Now you might have learned something. Expect my bill in the mail.

Tepid, but I get it.


But I think 99.999% of the country liked Friends, so implying "Friends wasn't really all that good" results in something close to a divide-by-zero error.

Had you gone with 90%, I'd accept that. 99.9% means of the 350 million people in the country, 349.65 million like friends.

With that said, Friends is fucking stupid. It had some moments, but the characters were incredibly memorable due to their incredible stupidity. Plus, it was on during a time when you didn't have much in terms of great sitcoms. You had Seinfeld, which was for people not incredibly stupid, and you had Friends.

Fritzo, please tell us another joke.

A game warden catches an unlicensed fisherman in the act.

"You're going to pay a big fine for all those fish in your bucket!"

"But, officer, I didn't catch these -- they are my pet fish and I just bring them here to swim. When they're done they jump back into the bucket."

"Oh really? This I've got to see. If you can prove it, I'll let you go."

The fisherman empties the bucket into the lake and waits patiently. A few minutes go by and nothing happens.

Game warden: So where are the fish?
Fisherman: What fish?

Bravo! Solidly good even if it is a "dad joke" type of joke.
