      It’s Eighteen, not Eight Teen.

          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.

                  I know what a wordplay is. I asked what in the comment made it a wordplay.

              Different cultures have different typical expectations of humour so comedy shows are not always successful when transplanted into another culture.

              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:

                The hypothetical person lacking a sense of humour would likely find the behaviour to be inexplicable, strange, or even irrational.

                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.
