🇬🇧 Humor type: Meta-Humor Technik Requires background knowledge

Explanation

What the joke is about

The joke plays on the network protocol UDP, which does not guarantee that data will be delivered. So when the speaker says "you might not get it," that can mean both "you might not understand the joke" and "you might not receive it." The most likely interpretation is that the punchline compares telling a joke to sending data over UDP.

Required background / context

UDP is a computer networking protocol that sends packets without confirming delivery, so messages can be lost.
