  It was a joke, not a real comparison. I just happen to not be able to speak any other language.

    The ‘it’s just a joke’ defence works better when the context doesn’t completely change what the joke is responding to.

      There’s no defense here. You didn’t get the joke, that’s okay, move on.

        I understood it was a joke. I was commenting on how it lands in context, not missing the humor. We’re just reading it differently.
