Did he expect everyone to start drooling over him?

Did you say, "well, the way I remember it is Unsolicited Dick Pics versus Tasteful Consentual Penis"

"Do Ruby Begonia ring a bell?" Even more obscurely, this Flip Wilson routine was referencing an old Amos & Andy routine where they would say something like "Do the name Ruby Begonia strike a familiar note?"

For the life of me I can't remember how we got to the subject, but once we were talking about attaching speakers to a dog and I called it "Dolby Surround Hound." I was very proud of that one and it went completely unacknowledged.

I mean I think he got it after a few seconds, he did laugh, and then comment how everything was so serious before then and it took him a bit to get it. I don't think that was why I didn't get the job.

Dogby.

Should've started drooling right after.

I have no qualms stopping the conversation and repeating my joke. Witness my pun!!

Maybe because it already exists. I believe the company is called SoundHound or something

Why do you keep moving the goal posts? We’re not talking about inappropriate jokes or someone being an ass during an interview.
Honestly, if an interviewer wastes my time like this I’m ending the interview. Good luck finding just one more guy matching my talents.

I didn't move to goal post at all. In any interaction, you need to gauge the vibe before moving to the next level. Workplace humour is sensitive, and you should drop a joke you're not confortable not landing.

Interviews are also (if not primarily) a measure of cultural fit. Making tasteful jokes is absolutely appropriate, but depends on the culture. I wouldn't want to work at a place that is too uptight for some humor.

The UDP joke isn't one that I'd probably use, but doesn't feel out of place in the context of detailing the protocol.

Two people missed the joke it seems

what a bunch of drooling morons

Yeah, I though about pigeons and Skinner when writing that, but did not have much info about how it goes really. Thanks for sharing, that's an interesting read, and nice to know they are treated well

Yeah like Pavlov’s Dong you know like the sound a bell makes

i'd say for a class setting it deserves clearly fast exhale
