They have to make people laugh and be funny to be jokes.

Well, I laughed.

[Greyhawk]

Oh my! Someone makes a playful joke and you insult them. You really must have a lot of friends who appreciate your company!

Well then I guess it's a good thing you have no idea what I was referring to, otherwise your reply would be accurate.

Maybe they didn't, only they know.

What I'm saying is coming out with that quote without quotation marks and without any clear indication of a joking intention made it indistinguishable from an insult.

It's like saying something outrageous and uncalled for, and when you're called out for saying said outrageous and uncalled for statement, you respond with "it was just a joke bruh chill" or "it was just a prank!".

It doesn't really make it ok.

It is not on me that I didn't know your 1980's movie quote. Hiding an insult behind an obscure reference and that being the only thing that doesn't make it an insult doesn't make it ok.

Hrothgar were a mistake.

Hrothgar were a mistake.

You admit you were making a joke. You might just assume the response was also a joke even if you don't understand it. What if someone didn't understand you were joking and got offended?

Heck, I don't recognize that quote but I didn't even think of it as an insult.

Personally I don't even know the reason for this threat.
It wasn't even funny to begin with and now turned into a debate over obscure references and taking jokes as insults.

And if anyone wanna comment on me not finding it funny, well, everyone has their own taste.
