1. Person one says something.
2. Person two makes a funny but subtle remark in response. Something which is funnier because it wasn't stated in an obvious way, so you didn't 'get it' until you thought about it.
3. Person one reiterates the remark, stating the joke in the most painfully obvious way, even though everyone listening got it the first time. Then acts like they made the funny comment.
So annoying.
Also, generic acoustic acts covering things like heavy metal songs...wow the irony...don't you get it? A soulful female guitar player, on Radio 1's live lounge playing a song that was originally really loud and energetic - by jove that's brilliant...FUCK OFF
Oh, and people who use the word 'literally' for emphasis when they actually mean it in an entirely non-literal way.
eg. "God, you should have seen how angry he was. There was literally steam coming out of his ears"
What?! No there wasn't, because such a thing is medically impossible. What you meant to say was figuritively speaking, but since most people would assume that anyway, there was no need to use any word whatsoever. GRRRRR
