Ouch! Ben Affleck Fails to Impress Lindsay Shookus' Pals: 'He's Not Funny'
Celebrity

'At the end of the night the joke was on Ben. They were laughing at him, NOT with him,' said a souce of Lindsay's 'Saturday Night Live' co-workers, who allegedly think that Lindsay 'can do better.'

AceShowbiz - Ben Affleck was given a chance to get closer to girlfriend Lindsay Shookus' "Saturday Night Live" family at the 2017 Primetime Emmy Awards as the couple showed up together at the award-giving event. But much to Ben's disappointment, her friends were reportedly unimpressed with him, or precisely his sense of humor.

"They are a tight bunch and it takes a long time for them to welcome a new person in," a source revealed to Radar Online. "They have all known each other for years and admire talent and comedic skills above fame."

The Batman depicter reportedly was trying hard to win over Lindsay's inner circle. However, the source said that while Ben was famous, he was deemed "not funny."

"Unfortunately, no one has told him this," the source continued. "All night long he was trying to crack jokes and show how smart he is."

"He needs to relax and just take a back seat," the source went on saying, before adding, "It's wasn't his night."

"He can't make everything about him and expect this close group to welcome him in. They all love Lindsay but think she can do better," shared the source, adding, "At the end of the night the joke was on Ben. They were laughing at him, NOT with him." Ouch, it's time to attach the infamous apply-cold-water-on-the-burned-area meme.

Despite struggling to win over Lindsay's pals, Ben was still religiously doing his duty as supportive boyfriend. Several reports claimed that the ex-husband of Jennifer Garner tried not to outshine his lady throughout the event because that was her night after all. During the commercial break, Ben and Lindsay, who entered Los Angeles' Microsoft Theater via a side stage VIP entrance instead of gracing the red carpet, were spotted chatting with Dave Chappelle before exiting the VIP area arm-in-arm.
