This is funny because it references the popular 1984 film “Revenge of the Nerds” in which the academically-oriented Lambda house improbably triumphs over the popular Alpha Beta fraternity. The submitter prematurely ends the movie in his viewings so as to create a conclusion more congruent with reality, in which the rich and powerful generally emerge victorious from conflicts with their lessers.
^^^^^^This is funny because most comments on TFM’s consist of short, sarcastic retorts to the original poster’s claim, using wordplay or cultural references that are deliberately not elaborated upon in order to establish the universality of the joke’s appeal and give the implication that additional commenters who do not see the humor in the joke are simply ignorant to its references, cornering them into a position whereby they are less willing to retort with counter-insults. Preemptively writing an extremely detailed explanation of the joke’s meaning turns this paradigm on its head by exposing all potential sources of comedic tension, depriving the source material of any humor value within the context of the discussion. This leaves the long-winded explanation itself as comparatively the only humorous statement within the conversation.
Don’t get me wrong, I laughed at this comment and enjoyed it, but I just don’t see this troll lasting too long with the attention span of moth people on this site. If he does last I’ll take more than enough laps.
