when the delivery fails, i like to default to a old Mitch Hedberg joke.

That joke was funnier than you people acted.

if dude wants to really fuck with his teacher, he should show up with a detailed report on the creation of his joke, how the execution of his joke failed, and why the audience was wrong to misunderstand it. possible bonus points would be to veeeeery subtly insinuate that the joke was just over their heads, as meta humor sometimes is.

you could conclude the study with thoughts on how subjective and varied humor is. maybe bring up how that joke slayed when you performed it for your test audience, but then fell flat with the actual audience.

Or lean into the humour not working and write a report about how humour never works and no one likes it.
