the best jokes are the ones you have to explain...
OK, an oxymoron is "a figure of speech that combines contradictory terms" so the joke is that " I am neither humourless, nor a retard.
Perhaps I just don't find you funny." is self-contradictory because pone has to be wither retarded or humourless not to find my epic wit funny...

you may laugh now.

Oh OK
No, it's you that doesn't know what an oxymoron is. Nevermind.

I don't really know how to explain how stupid you're being
so I'll just say that you're doing it wrong.

yes dear.

I'll have a go because I dislike ignorance even though you'll probably just do another "yes dear"
secure, as you are, in your self-righteousness.

However, an oxymoron has to be partly true. It's a paradox brought about by two seemingly contradictory words, used together, that nevertheless describe a truth. You have described a mere contradiction, not an oxymoron. Reading something in a dictionary does not teach you to use it correctly.

tl:dr, you're wrong, you look stupid, you probably don't care.

and this would be why I call you humourless.

Just trying to help, mate.
I don't joke around with you because the dislike is mutual. I don't bother with people I don't like.
