A joke pertaining to a friend group or online community, through which it is exchanged exclusively. Similar to memes, but more specific to a smaller, more clearly-defined group of people.
friend 1: "Guess it's time for you to go get your own boat, then!"
friend 2: "Ha! You smartass, you!"
stranger: "Uh... was that a joke or something...?"
friend 2: "Oh, it's just a silly little inside joke. Don't sweat it."
When a small group of people make up a joke (a phrase) while no one else is there (Sometimes because of an event that occurs, and then someone says something and it becomes an inside joke) and don't tell anyone about it, so every time anyone (whether from the group or not) says the phrase, they all start laughing like idiots for an unknown reason. It completely baffles people outside this group why it would be remotely funny. Most of the time it confuses them, or annoys the crap out of them.

A joke that a group of a minimum of 2 people understand. And only them, although Urban Dictionary doesn't like them.

Everyone seems to be in on it except you

An inside joke is a joke that is only funny to a select group of people.
