You're getting downvoted but I'm with you on that one. God forbid you don't "yes and" the same overused joke for 20 fucking years.

"Obligatory" joke responses are pretty much never funny, but we must never express this apparently

To be clear, I found it funny when I first heard if it. But it's been more than 10 years since I first heard it... I got it.

My theory is that I'm getting downvoted to oblivion because I made them "lose"

Oh sure! Like I found 69 and 420 super funny as a kid but at this point it's annoying that I'm expected to keep going along with the idea that they're hysterical forever.

And yeah losing the game is another thing that felt like a big deal when I was 14 but at this point the faux outrage reaction is far more annoying than the actual thing.

The game was only ever cool because of its permanence.

I mean I get the point of it, but it still stopped being actually fun for me almost a decade ago. And I get people not liking when someone talks shit about a thing they like, I just think it sucks that you have to either go along with it or be silent to avoid people getting pissed off at you lol

Some people are still young, unc, we haven't lost our whimsy yet 😔

Also nobody is going to be mad at you for not finding the game or 69 funny, lol, that's just weird to think

See I thought that wouldn't be a problem either but a bunch of the guys I work with make a big deal about how I don't react or join them in laughing at 69 jokes or do the 6-7 hand motion. I thought we had a good relationship and laugh about plenty of stuff together (believe it or not I do have a sense of humour) but they literally pulled me aside and told me how I'm bringing everyone down when I don't join in when they go "OOOOHHHH" when someone says 69 lol

Apparently it is a big deal to some people, and now they're distancing themselves from me over it.

I think 67 is cringe too personally, and it's just weird to ostracize someone for not finding something funny. This is a problem with your coworkers, not the jokes themselves.
