    The joke is a popular meme of making up things that are happening on the podcast that obviously do not fit the general idea of the podcast. If you are aware of these memes, you’d probably understand the joke right away.

    I still think it’s not a good joke to make since it can be easily misleading. I’m not sure there was a good way to make this joke while clarifying it was a joke, and they would’ve been better off finding some other meme to make a joke with.

    I think the biggest problem with the joke is that Proton somehow didn’t understand their audience at all. I would imagine it leans older and most of their followers wouldn’t get it. Most of my Gen Z friends would have understood the meme, but I doubt many of them follow Proton on Twitter.
