The exact meaning of "The jokes is on you" ?
I've heard that a couple of times but I am not entirely sure of what it means..

It would be awesome if you could use it in some sentence, so I could realize of how it applies :P

Thanks :-)

Answer

"The joke's on you" means that you are the butt of the joke.

Example:
 Person A.  Is my new dress  too short?. It cost me $300.

Person B.  I can see your underwear. So  for that price, the joke's on you!

Answer

If you say that the joke is on a particular person, you mean that they have tried to make someone else look silly but have made themselves look silly instead.
