I don’t mean that the joke just isn’t funny, I want to know a joke that almost makes you want to fast-forward through the scene.

This is in a lot of shows and not just sitcoms, but I hate contrived argumentative dialogue that's set up so that the protagonist always gets the last word with "witty" responses/comebacks. It's like watching a "I'm the attractive Chad and you are the ugly NPC" meme in real time.

Not a sitcom joke (yet...) but wow yeah. A moderately funny joke for about a day, but the memes have been tiresome since.

The poor girl allegedly lost her job as a preschool teacher over it, too.

Know Your Meme says the firing is a false rumor. I don't even know that she works at a preschool... because I have not and will not research that... because I am lazy.

She's apparently making a small fortune selling merch.

I genuinely don't know what I'm supposed to do with that information. It was an outlandish thing to say and arguably funny. Plus, she knew she was being recorded and maybe even signed a release.

Am I supposed to be angry at the person interviewing people on the street? Other people for sharing it? Her former employer? Myself for laughing?
