It is always fun to see how people seem not to understand humor…

Funny, and no disclaimer needed.

Your post was funny! Including sarcasm disclaimer spoils the funny! This is well known! So, good job! People need to lighten up! Etcetera!

Unless your sarcasm was so completely over the top that nobody could mistake it for anything else, then yes, you did need some kind of disclaimer. You might have been joking, but your post was quite indistinguishable from a great many entirely serious complaints – indeed, is quite innocuous compared to some of the other stupid rants I’ve seen of late.

they’re almost as funny as xkcd

They’re only funny about 20% of the time nowadays, and 90% of the people commenting on them don’t actually understand them. So pretty much a perfect analogy for xkcd.

That’s pretty good.

’till their help pages start blabbing about references, objects, deltas and nothing that you know.

I thought it was funny.

I thought it was funny. With a disclaimer, it wouldn’t have been nearly as funny, so please don’t do that.

Wow, I thought this post was pretty funny – I thought there might be some flaming in the comments, but really wasn’t expecting to see people taking it so serious!

Sarcasm on the Internet is *never* obvious enough, you have to explicit state it. Otherwise, there will always be people who believes you to be completely serious.
