tough crowd
what someone would say after telling a joke or other humorous anecdote, and then getting deadpan looks and no verbal acknowledgement from the people listening.
Example:
"Yeah, so I heard Dave got a pet cat, oh well, probably the closest thing to pussy he'll ever have in his place, huh guys? hahaha!"
(silence and blank stares from everyone)
"Geez...! Tough crowd, man....tough crowd!!"
