What is the wordplay?

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."
