An article headline makes a claim about someone, but specifically doesn’t mention who they are, because the context makes it obvious.
You respond with a “so (deliberate misinterpretation which also fits the description given)”.
For example:
Headline: Movie about First Lady is as vacuous as its subject
Comment: So the Michelle Obama documentary is still on Netflix.
Pwnd libs: “…”
Zing! Eat that libs. Takedown complete.
Now, what you’ve failed to understand here is that the headline quite specifically mentions the name of the movie, “Melania”, so it doesn’t work as a flow. Because no-one in their right mind would think the Michelle Obama documentary is called “Melania”. Imagine overhearing this conversation on the bus:
Person 1: I saw that “Melania” movie recently. It is as vacuous as its subject matter!
Person 2: So the Michelle Obama documentary is still on Netflix?
At best we’re assuming that person 2 has misheard, and probably “has dementia” is higher up the list than “has just made a cutting remark”.
I love how much people here loves to shit on reddit, and then the userbase is 10 times worse (especially in reading comprehension, hive mind and irony)
Right, so the way these jokes works is this:

Anyway, better luck next time.
What the fuck is wrong with you? The point was to watch Michelle Obama’s becoming as a protest to the mail order whore’s vanity project.
Are you stupid?
