Why do people say "that was so funny I forgot to laugh"? How could you forget to laugh if it's funny? Dont you automatically laugh if you think something is funny? I think that type of sarcasm is really stupid. Laughing is involuntary. If soemthing is REALLY funny, you laugh. People r so weird...

They're being sarcastic. I you say, "that was so funny I forgot to laugh" it's because you did NOT think it was funny.

For certain people that actually isn't sarcasm but, they actually have trouble laughing. I forget what it's called but, nun the less the brain tells the body to laught but, the electric current in the nerves makes them take a while to laugh. Not to be a smart *** or anything just letting you know.

Sarcasm means the saying is not meant to be taken literally.
The meaning is is the OPPOSITE of the spoken words.
The speaker is indicating that they DID NOT find the situation funny at all. (So there is no laughter - automatic or not).
I hope you understand now!

You are right. It is sarcasm. Whatever was said was totally unfunny in the view of the person making the statement. Anyone who missed the sarcasm was also a target.

Its an expression people use when they are being sarcastic. What they are referring to wasn't funny and they are being sarcastic.

i agree but some people are like that and its probably because of an event that happened or is about to happen in their life that makes them act like that

They are telling you what you said was not funny in their opinion.
