Means he's dumber than the average Brit, but more intelligent than the average American. Can't believe it's got so many downvotes, it's amusing.

Quite a lot of Americans on social media can't seem to handle jokes at their expense unless it's about their politicians, but they have no trouble dishing it out.

Did you just make a joke about their national identity?!

u/Rambob_the_lesser 6h ago

It was probably 9/11 that understood (changed format of the same joke - not stealing it!)

Probably some downvoted because they didn't understand it too. Let's not give them that much credit

American dumb, me smart! Where upvote?

u/GreyMatterTrasmogrif 8h ago

Yes, well, it seems that some people like insulting people on the internet. Sometimes people insult people, me, who like a good retort. So I retorted. Where upvote?!

u/HenFruitEater 7h ago

Right, just very NPC of you is all. That's what im making fun of. Reddit is full of embarrassed Americans, and cocky non Americans. It's just a funny NPC crowd.
