Jokes necessarily often leave behind details to work.

I understand it’s a joke, but it’s a poorly-formed joke that exposes its writer not understanding the thing they’re riffing on, lol.
Would be kind of like making a joke based on a stereotype of NBA players mostly being redheads, with no such stereotype existing, lol.
