It's Eighteen, not Eight Teen.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Humour
Being wrong isn't inherently funny though
It was clearly a joke based on wordplay, not someone trying to assert a fact. That's why I linked the Wiki article for Humor, because it seems like a lot of people don't understand it.
No, no we get it. It just isn’t very funny at all.
What is the wordplay?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Word_play
I know what a wordplay is. I asked what in the comment made it a wordplay.
I'll explain everything in this comments section.
Top level comment talks about how the voice actor gets paid 100 Euros per word.
Next commenter makes a dumb joke comment (no it's eight and teen) that probably sHoULd hAvE beEN wRiTTeN likE tHis to get the point across. That's the wordplay.
Then the next people to remark on that comment literally come in and act offended that someone didn't know the word 18, as the joke flew over their big dumb heads. (Linking the dictionary link for eighteen, "hurr durr being wrong isn't inherently funny"). I responded to the first guy with the Wiki link to Humour because wow, some of y'all need to lighten up and stop being pedantic twits.
Then after that some smug guy comes in and moves the goal post to "no we just didn't think the joke was funny."
I don't get it.
I guess the joke came from a culture where being wrong is inherently funny.
Or was there another part of that page that you were referring to? Lol
I love when I try to explain things to people and provide information, they just cherry pick through the facts to only affirm their previous biases.
This is the sentence before your quote in the Wiki article:
That's you.
Here's a picture since you don't seem to understand words:
Joke
You
Do you get it, since the joke went over your head.
