is common sense really that common?

Question

then why do some people have a hard time getting simple jokes?

the joke must be pointed out to them in order for them to get it, by that time the joke lost its wit already!

and they do spoil the fun, don't you agree?

Answer 1

Common sense has nothing to do with jokes. Sense of humor determines that.

Answer 2

No, common sense is not that common as many of us think it to be. And for this reason, jokes really lose its fun and wit both.
Actually, for common sense too, it needs a certain level of maturity of ones mental faculty, lacking of which makes common sense, in many cases, mostly uncommon.

I don't think you have to have common sense to get a joke. I think you have to be brought up with a family that kids around and tells jokes; otherwise, people don't develop a sense of humor and are clueless when people joke around.
