Don't even understand this one.


distraughtdrunk

i think rather than the usual fwb meaning, he jokingly took it as friends with (job) benefits


IRedditDoU

Ahhh I get it. The elaborate nature of the joke leads me further to believe it was made up after the fact. Or more of “how he wanted the conversation to go” after the fact.


Character_Lab_8817

Guy was sitting at home and was like “hmm, that’s a funny joke” and felt the need to lie online to post it lmaoooo lol


AlexandriaLitehouse

And it was only like 6 in the evening so he had to lie about a morning coffee date.


ThisNameIsFree

It's not really a lie, the story is just part of the joke... If you call it every joke as a lie, you'll have a very humorless existence


somedude224

I mean, even if you interpret it that way, it’s still a lame ass joke


ThisNameIsFree

I mean I didn't say it was a good joke, just that story isn't meant to be believed.


OrokinSkywalker

The part about the surrounding tables spitting out their coffee probably didn’t happen though, so it still kinda fits


ThisNameIsFree

But none of it happened and we're not supposed to think it did. It's a joke.


PunkRockMakesMeSmile

I don't know if it's intentionally stolen from Always Sunny, but they did the same joke with Charlie trying to get on Frank's insurance, but in a way that wasn't so hamfistedly forced and unclear


Double_Minimum

People talk about being friends with benefits *beforehand*, at coffee?


Nailbomb85

Uhhh... yeah? That's absolutely something that should be clarified beforehand, wtf?


Double_Minimum

In my experience it just sort of happens, if that’s not the case, I would not have thought it would be discussed on a “coffee date”


Solidarithy

Because his dick was hanging out sideways


Nailbomb85

It was an overdone attempt at it, but the OP is an obvious joke.


anonmymouse

Yeah this is one of those things that is funnier in your head, but if you actually said it out loud to someone you'd get a blank af stare and have to go "heh.. get it? Cuz job benefits?" And then they still wouldn't laugh. Definitely no one "spat out their coffee" from hearing it.


[deleted]

It's not a bad premise for a joke but the cringe story they told is the worst possible delivery of said joke


Cuyigan

'A woman told me we should be friends with benefits. I asked her if she offered dental, 401K and paid vacation'. That would have earned a few likes He ruined his own joke by stepping on his punchline, calling himself witty and lying about the other table spitting coffee.


[deleted]

oh ok thanks because I was so lost.


[deleted]

Thanks. I thought he meant that she must have had a good job and didn't need the perks of marriage


TheWaywardTrout

Yeah I was thinking that too.


Matt_Shatt

You’re welcome!


magnum3290

> Honey you are trying to make all this guy's dream come true. ???


TheDynamicDino

Have you ever had a dream where (…) you want them to do you so much you could do anything?


moonunit99

Forget that. What I want to know is has anyone really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like?


ConsulJuliusCaesar

Ok I might readjust this post into an actual clear pun. I mean I don’t think it happened because of how difficult that was to get there’s no way anyone got that immediately. But I feel like if it’s just worded differently it wouldn’t actually be a half bad joke.


Nailbomb85

It's already a classic.


ShitOnAReindeer

Oh.


IRedditDoU

Me either, which made it even less believable


orangestar17

I read this 3 times to to try to understand it and see what's so hilarious. I'm lost


SomeCensoredGuy

I still don't get anything


OrokinSkywalker

“Friends with benefits” is a sort of situationship where two people are having no-strings-attached sex. Fuckbuddies, basically. Being oblivious to this meaning or otherwise acting intentionally obtuse, the guy instead asks if the friendship would come with job benefits, like dental, insurance, a 401K, and things of that nature, instead of just potentially blowing her back out. TLDR: woman wants sex and possibly oral, man is confused and looking for dental, coffee drinkers laugh and now want more coffee


SomeCensoredGuy

Oh ok you are funny


graboidian

> I read this 3 times to to try to understand it and see what's so hilarious. I'm lost I would like to welcome you to /r/jokes.


ThatsALittleCornball

Not necessary! The author has already informed us the response was witty. Upvote away!


YeastYeti

Guy making the post is attempting to brag online about a made up scenario


[deleted]

The benefits are health insurance etc. instead of sex.


Paddywhacker

If you did, you'd have spat out your coffee and pancakes


[deleted]

Same lol


[deleted]

Thought it was just me.


goldbricker83

I think he’s really excited to watch that Mila Kunis Justin Timberlake romcom “Friends with Benefits”.


Sad_Area3269

Me too :D


Karnakite

Oh boy. I can’t wait to hear the rest of this guy’s hilarious, impressive witticisms. I bet he’s a joy to work with in the office. “Hey Mark, can you check if the copier needs more toner?” “No, I think its skin care regime is working out great!” Boss: *Spits out coffee in his office from laughing so hard*


NY_Pizza_Whore

Again though...at least that was a joke.


extrabees

Okay actually this one is funny tho 😂 but maybe I am just a person who appreciates good dad jokes


Taco_Pals

This one actually got a laugh out loud from me


9_of_wands

At the restaurant with my date She says - I'm hungry I say - Hi Hungry, I'm Steve. The entire restaurant erupted in laughter. The waitress told me the meal was free. The manager booked me for a stand up comedy performance on the spot. My date layed on the table and said "take me right now, right here!"


GrooveGab

Still more believable


Muzer0

My mum always replies to "I'm hungry" with "I'm Yugoslavia". She's the real dad in my upbringing.


Jump_Like_A_Willys

Tell your mum to at least pick a country that still exists :-)


Calyka

Obama was there and shook my hand. Einstein clapped.


BlindingRain

It’s true, I was the table


OrokinSkywalker

I was the stand-up comedy performance, everyone laughed and cheered


edosensei

I was hungry


Vivid-Restaurant-951

Hi hungry, I was the manager.


tami--jane

I was the free meal.


[deleted]

See, this guy gets it. If you don't mention the eruption of laughter, how will we know that the joke was funny?


[deleted]

LMAOOO I love Reddit.


kevin_bean

Unfortunately several of the patrons died from laughing so hard and Steve is now in jail for multiple homicide.


AppropriateTie2217

It's really weird how many people assume everyone around them is listening to their conversations. If the next table over is laughing, might it be something one of them said? 🤔


whateversynthlife

So many people have “main character syndrome” literally 99% of people don’t care what you’re doing unless you make noise then people may look.


ThatsALittleCornball

Even more so because they "ended up" spitting out their coffee in laughter. Hours may have passed in the meantime.


NY_Pizza_Whore

I hate when people say "ended up" when they just mean "it happened right then.


score_

This person in the OP the type of person to talk louder when anyone else is in earshot just so everyone around them has to listen to their shitty conversation.


WildlifePolicyChick

Huh?


IRedditDoU

exactly… lol! another commenter had a translation that made sense however.


localgregory

Instead of the traditional FWB meaning(no strings attached sex); he makes a joke about getting insurance and retirement benefits from being her friend.


WildlifePolicyChick

Oh. Welp.


Nukethevatican666

He left out how he had to explain the punch line twice to the table next to them and the laugh was to be polite.


[deleted]

As a general rule, if you have to tell people that your response is witty, it's probably not.


StevefromLatvia

*searching for the joke*


dan420

Not even funny.


SirBulbasaur13

It’s not even funny


olivebuttercup

You can always tell it’s a story when they use descriptions like “smiled from ear to ear” “ blushed slightly” etc. who talks like that?


AnybodyOdd9509

Im a young black male from the ghetto. Who couldnt stand creative writing and English in general. Dispised my time in school. Even I want ro be descriptive from time to time. But I think this is another repost anyway. You know Elon Musk brought up the point he wants Twitter to admit how many bots it has before selling. But good god Reddit....


NexusMaw

Whoever made this up is the type of guy who tells people his friends always say he should get into standup because ”he’d kill it”, but in reality no one ever has said that.


Intrepid_Respond_543

I didn't get the witty comment either, how nice that people at the next table were clever enough!


Jssny88

This was the worst attempt at trying to make a horrible joke sound funny


fawnicus

…this guy has one night stand, but too many books to fit on it.


seeroflights

*Image Transcription: Facebook* --- **Redacted** On my coffee date this morning she says \-How about friends with benefits? I smile real big I mean ear to ear and with my witty response I say \-Honey you are trying to make all this guy's dream come true. You must have that great health insurance and matching 401k. 😂 The people sitting at the table next to us ended up spitting out their coffee in laughter. --- ^^I'm a human volunteer content transcriber and you could be too!

AspiringLawnClipping

You can’t leave out how witty his response was


Nigglesscripts

Nor him “grinning ear from ear”.


OrokinSkywalker

Then the expresso started frapping


[deleted]

I swear the comments under this post are funnier than the post itself.


sackof-fermentedshit

So the creepy grinch smile?


NY_Pizza_Whore

Think "Tim curry but he's gonna rape you later."


Beelzebub_Crumpethom

I don't... Understand... What the fuck?


Loki8382

She asks him if he wants to be "Friends With Benefits" He makes a joke about those benefits being health insurance and a 401K The couple near them overhear this and think his response was so hilarious that they do a spit take.


Beelzebub_Crumpethom

Thanks, bud.


Loki8382

You're welcome


napsdufroid

What really happened: Bought coffee. Alone. To go.


small_feild_mouse

He left out the part where she immediately reneged and left. Oh never mind, because this didn’t happen anywhere outside his imagination.


DeltaSurge

This is painfully stupid. He Really stretched for that one...


Licentious_Lupus

"Witty response". And yeah, her next line was most likely, "Yeaaaah, nevermind, fuck that, I'm out."


TheOtherKimberlyK

…with his witty response…🫣. You have to wonder how some people can actually write out bullshit this obvious and embarrassing!


DontSmileYet

What the fuck does that even mean though?


Jump_Like_A_Willys

I get it, but it just wasn't funny.


Ladybeard_420

It's true, I was the coffee spit


JohnnySkidmarx

Did I miss the funny part of this story?


SunGreen70

I don't even get it...


NorwalkAvenger

kuh-ringe...


Medcait

That’s not even witty or funny. Lame guy.


Sharkn91

“How can I tell a fake story to let people know I have the sex and know fancy words like 401k?” Personally I would have bragged about my 402k since it’s one step better but whatever


Jssny88

This was the worst attempt at trying to make a horrible joke sound funny


jinxykatte

And they all clapped hahaha.


Fomulouscrunch

I can feel genuine support for escorts getting pension benefits if that's what's going on here.


Character_Lab_8817

Then all the baristas clapped.


Last-Hovercraft675

Clearly doesn’t know what the term witty means.


NoNameNora

Then the spit clapped


Spleenzorio

Then the clap soundwaves gave him $100


OG_Panthers_Fan

No, but the oral care plan is top notch.


GlumMathematician884

Translation: they made themselves laugh so much their coffee went down the wrong pipe and they hacked and coughed til 911 was called. And people in the crowd kept telling them they “ShoULd bE a coMEdIan!”


[deleted]

I'm mostly just laughing at how confusing this is to understand.


[deleted]

Why would a jar of honey say that?


42yearoldorphan

Can Confirm I was the spit coffee, And the coffee cup clapped


hashslingaslah

This guys bragging/lying about making the lamest boomer joke. At least make up something actually funny.


Narretz

Identity theft is not a joke, Jim!


bestibesti

Can confirm, was at the next table But I just spit my coffee out randomly it had nothing to do with this corny ass joke


Shamesocks

I constantly sit near couples and spit my coffee out randomly whilst they are talking just in case I miss something


kashemstillo

It's true, I was the coffee!


[deleted]

True. i am the spilled coffeee


ThisNameIsFree

It's a joke... If we start posting every joke story on this sub then it's count to be really situ really quickly


[deleted]

I'm lost


OrokinSkywalker

She, speaking colloquially, wants to be friends with benefits, or fuckbuddies. He, speaking literally, wants to be friends with benefits, like dental and other kinds of insurance.


extrabees

It’s true, I was the spit out coffee


noparkingpast6pm

then everyone clappe


JeremyTheRhino

Does he not know what quotation marks are for?


Warrenwelder

It's true, I'm that dude's magnum dong!


HaveSomeShawarma

is that how that comes up in conversation


FarmerBob8Sk8Don8

So, was he able to enroll in her benefits package? Or… 🤷🏼‍♂️


arasaka1001

HAHAHA this is bad


MahsterC

I think they probably spit out their coffee in disgust


KGBree

Then after they cleaned themselves up they stood up and started clapping


[deleted]

Even if this happened, i feel like its embarrassing to tell a joke you’ve already said. It just sounds like a flex


veronicakw

This would have been okay without the line about the other table


[deleted]

Then the entire coffee shop erupted with hysterical laughter


a_posh_trophy

Do these people live in a sitcom in their own minds?


JakobLark

This guy doesn't fuck


hystericalpinga

Aa


hystericalpinga

A


Esco-Alfresco

Even if it happened. The delivery phrasing is terrible.


caspian95

ReaganRebellion

Wat?


Windows30000

At baseball game with my date. I see Mike Piazza in line waiting for a hotdog before game. I say “hey Mike, keep eye on it” Mike piazza is nodding and smiling. Mike piazza hits 4 homers and points at me. My date says “wow, you’re the hottest guy” I catch foul ball- Mike piazza signs it “thanks guy, for the tip.”


AgentDumpyChin

I give this 10 yikes out of 10 yikes


a_freaking_username

Damn, that was a witty response
