Its just a bad joke since HP is not set in america so the joke doesnt even make sense

[–] poppy@lemm.ee 0 points 8 months ago

That’s what makes it funnier, at least to me. 🤷‍♀️

I think that's part of the joke

The joke would only hit with Americans because of it.

It's two jokes. The one abut not knowing about current events of the time and the one about making the first joke in a silly way. Could've made it clearer with using a sillier example.

Or they're just oblivious. But I think it was intentional.
