Longest time it took you to get a joke

[standokan]

What was the longest time it took you to get a joke?

It doesn´t have to be like someone actual telling a joke but it can also be like a hidden joke (wordplay or something like that)

My longest time to get a joke was the name of Kim possible, which took me 5 years to find out.

Holy dooly. That name is a pun? I never noticed.

Ron stoppable is one too

"Two parrots sitting on a perch, one of them says to the other: Can you smell fish?"

It took me two days to get that as a kid, and it really wasn't worth the effort.

24 years and counting, dunn dunn dunnnnn.

How do you keep an idiot in suspense?

I'll tell you later...


(My best friend still hasn't gotten it, its been at least 3 months. I wish I was kidding)

10 Years (or so) for that finger Prints (Finger Prince) joke from Animaniacs =]

 

[Sarpedon]

Couple years. I kept thinking about it over the course of the years, and then it finally dawned on me. :/

I'm pretty sure the whole world is a joke.
Takes humanity FOREVER to get.

 

[figday]

and i'm still not sure :/

Ooooooh, I get it now.
I never realized that "Ron" sort of sounded like "un".

Jeez. I guess I know what's my contribution to the thread then.

Where do the one legged girls from Hooters work? IHOP.

Took me FOREVER to get that. (Mostly because there isn't any IHOPs in my country, and I had to read an XKCD comic to understand what it meant)

 

[ReservoirAngel]

That "Slytherin" from Hary Potter sounds like "slithering" as in 'what snakes do'.

That took me 10 years to finally realise

A perch is a type of fish.

Spoiler

OT: I can't reallythink of any, except ones that I may have had to have certain video game knowledge to get, which is more of an in joke than anything.

Wait, just thought of one. My brother wanted this as his number plate for his car:
