I mean, I wrote what I believed to be the most absurdly on-the-nose propaganda center dialogue. If suddenly and randomly shifting my manner of speech, omitting punctuation, and asking whether I should add that Elon musk is good at video games isn’t enough, then I’m stumped

Truthfully, though, I joke for me. If someone else gets a giggle out of it, I certainly enjoy it, but that matters far less than my own gratification here

I get that. I love to oversell bad dad jokes. The overselling is what makes it so funny to me, because the jokes are inherently bad.
