I was being chased by a giant crab. That's not funny.

What it means

Our interpretation.

A speaker describes being chased by a giant crab, then tries to head off the laugh with "That's not funny." The humour comes from the absurd image and the deadpan insistence that it was frightening, which of course makes the whole thing funnier.
