Ok but this is a true phenomenon. I point out in the most deadpan serious tone "oh look, local fauna" at a cockroach, and people think I'm the funniest human alive for saying that. When I explain that the only funny thing is that it's actually an invasive species and if we really want to be precise I said local as in "present locally", they stop laughing.
In the same way, every time I try to make an intentional pun or a joke i receive an awkward stare. Irony is hard too because it doesn't always work well with the dry flat tone and it's a 60/40 chance that people will take it seriously.
But if I point at an object with a yellow and blue color scheme and say "minion" in a flat tone, I'm again the best comedian at the table. It's fascinating really. I thought having a sense of humor was mostly about telling jokes with a punchline, not any casual statement.
I've decided that my style of humor should be just pointing out simple things that aren't funny with an occasional awful dad joke mixed in for balance. If it works it works I guess.
Nice that they appreciate the fact that I call my English ivy a tea grounds lover (acidophilic plants, yay!) as if it was a fine joke instead of just the truth.
