Oh I've seen this joke before, slightly better, but now I don't know which was the original.

It was like

Bard: I cast vicious mockery

Dm: cool. What do you say to him?

Bard: "You're none of your best friends' best friend"

Dm: ...

Other players: ...

Bard: So do I roll damage or...?

Dm: No... No, he's dead.

Damn, I felt that one particularly hard

Oof. This one feels like an insult that a DM might take personally before realizing it was meant for the NPC

Yep.
