It's called a dry sense of humor.

People sometimes just don't understand sarcasm as humor, especially if it is directed AT them.  "Tone" is a big part of what is funny or not.  Some people just don't "get" dry humor. It all depends on who you are with and the situation in which you find yourself. 
Some people are NEVER going to find some things humorous.

Like me, it seems that you are over-expertly delivering your lines.

In order to clue someone in on your humor, you should let out a laugh as loud as you possibly can just after the sarcasm is received.

Then abruptly STOP. That way, they'll know it was a joke AND that you weren't laughing at them.

Other than that, you may be overly self-centered.

when I read this question in the right > > > column, I thought I had written it.........b/c I have gotten in trouble for saying quips of the top of my head that I thought were funny. And people usually ignore it, or give me a wierd look,or yell at me for it. I like to make people laugh.That's why I say funny things, but it never goes over well. No, I don't say anything degrading or critical, or off color about anybody ,or anything.

Sarcasm is wasted on the ignorant. Get smarter friends. Don't apoligise, let them think you're a jerk. You don't need them. Then move on to total cynicism. If you have any friends left after that, know that these are your true friends. You can at last relax and be yourself without worrying what others think.
