Ever seen a comedian tell a joke that gets no reaction? What do they do? They just soldier on and tell another joke. Sometimes they recover. Sometimes their entire set bombs.
The point is that even the best comedians haven’t figured this out yet.
So if you like telling strangers jokes, then don’t despair when one doesn’t land.
Even the best comedians will do sets in little comedy clubs or at backroom open mics while they’re writing material for their next tour to see what works. Failure is, after all, the first step to success.
I’d leave the people at the next table in the cafe alone though. They’re no there for some random guys inner monologue.
Also, the same joke can get the audience rolling or completely bomb depending on the audience and everything leading up to the joke. Even the best comedians at the height of their careers bomb sometimes.

well that’s why they say “read the room”. That is also a skill you need to hone.
Which is honed by bombing!
