Did you ever tell a joke that falls flat?

Did you ever go over some one's house and start to tell a joke or two and it falls flat. You look around and all you see is bunch of nerdy guys who want to play chess or talk about chess or something. They won't joke back or riff off of what you are saying. They just push back their glasses to the bridge of their nose and tell you that they don't think that what you have to say is appropriate and do you have something useful to say. That is no fun.
