Dadjoked my son's friends in an online game. Nobody laughed.

Last night I was playing an online game with some of my son's friends, and one randomly texted on the in-game chat: "I just ate an apple. RAW!"

I wrote back, "That's hard core!"

Nobody laughed. At least, that I saw. :(

Edit: Holy moly, it gets mediocre response two days ago when it's posted, then it blows up over the weekend. Thanks for all the upvotes, folks! Love all the other terrible jokes & puns on here!

So I was found an online chatbot that was a meatball....

We were talking about our favorite foods and the meatball said its favorite food was cinnamon. I was confused since cinnamon isn't usually thought of as a food but more of a spice. So I told him, "That's a spice, e-meatball."

edit: "I found an online...." not "So I was found..."

Checking my emails.

Dad: Will you be long on the laptop?

Me: I'm just checking my hotmail.

Dad: What's his name?

and then he takes it one further when I reply

Me: Hilarious, I'm just checking my e-mail.

Dad: I didn't know you could find men online.

I then had to try really hard not to laugh and encourage him.

Edit: Formatting.
