If you were making a joke then it was poorly constructed and I missed it. Pyrflie made the same joke but better and I laughed when I read that. Yours comes across as factually incorrect “acktually”.
We seem to have a disagreement about what the joke is about and I’m willing to be proven wrong by Brits. That’s all I’m saying. Short of Noel himself showing up other British people are going to know the meaning of the joke best. Until then I think you are misleading people.
Christ alive. Look jokes works because of peoples understanding of it. If you think English involvement in Nicaragua is common knowledge enough for a joke on colonialism then fucking hell you must think more of the education of the general public than me. As fair as I know American involvement in Nicaragua is way more common knowledge than English involvement there which breaks the joke.
But it is all meaningless anyway because the joke isn’t about that.
This website is weird at times. Joke about American’s education gets turned into a history of colonialism and the breakdown of a what makes a joke, a joke. I’m going to the pub.
The whole premise of the joke is the relative “common knowledge” of Nicaragua, or any other central/south American country. Be it to Americans or Europeans
Im not competing with any other commenter, or anyone else. It’s just a fuckin life experience.
Don’t make jokes if you can’t take jokes
Edit further if living in the UK for a decade across the “formative” years where geography is taught doesn’t count, then I’m not sure where the lesson about countries lands.
Of course none of this matters.
