Humor is subjective, I guess.
Mike Huckabee, former Arkansas Governor and Fox News Host likes to make jokes on Twitter. Predictably they are terrible. Some have called them “Dad Jokes” most people simply cringe. Earlier Huckabee sounded a lot like Donald Trump when he addressed those who don’t get his jokes on Twitter:
I Tweet for my amusement and your amazement. To haters trolls and humorless people-you really shouldn't follow me. It's way over your head!

In this, Patton Oswalt has found inspiration. On Jimmy Kimmel Live, the comedian created a stand up routine comprised entirely of recent Mike Huckabee tweets. Kimmel suggested that the jokes may just need a better delivery. Oswalt gives it his best shot…. Watch.
Here are the exact tweets that Mike Huckabee sent out:
Breaking News! Jimmy Dean Sausage Co will be renamed GORSUCH SAUSAGE because he's grinding up some Democrat Senators into PURE PORK SAUSAGE!

Only English speaking TV I get at Norway is BBC-oh my! It stands for BIASED BORING CRAP. It's more effective than Ambien as sleep inducer.

Poop Dogg has nephew named Bow Wow; both bad dogs who advocate murder and sex slavery for @POTUS and First Lady;Who let the dogs out?

Other than the awkward segues the comedian was quoting Mike Huckabee’s tweets, word for word. It seems even with Patton Oswalt’s delivery and a live audience these “jokes” still fell flat.
