I like deadpan humor and often have to clarify that some quip was a pun, a reference or sarcasm, but I don’t blame the listeners whenever they don’t get them.
If I were a self-identified contrarian habitually posting controversial hot takes in flowery prose, I’d hope to be a little less belligerent and defensive if people mistake an ironic joke for a sincere belief.
It sometimes hurts that people believe you’d actually mean the dumb joke you said but you either have to suck it up and take the L or start marking up your irony.
I like the way he thinks the lack of punctuation in his “joke” is the tell that it’s a joke.
He’s also apparently never heard the aphorism that if you have to explain the joke, it’s probably not that funny.
