Andrew Cuomo was the most carbrain candidate.
He doesn’t walk.
He doesn’t take the subway.
He doesn’t bike.
He only travels in his Ford dodger
He has been caught speeding again and again in his Ford dodger:
Cuomo was supported by Wall Street and Car Companies:
You defeated him. And the guy who won the democratic primary doesn’t even own a car.
Congratulations 🎉 · 🎉🥳
“Ford Dodger”? Are you intentionally messing up the make and model of his car? Is this a sort of joke I’m not getting? Ford and Dodge are different car manufacturers and the Dodgers are a baseball team. I dont even know why you’re are referring to its make and model (twice) in your post in the first place. I know it doesn’t really matter, but it sounds like an old person calling every video game console a “Nintendo Genesis”. If that’s the goal, kudos.
I don’t think it’s a joke, considering the average lemmy user I think op got confused on car manufacturers 💔
I don’t think they did, the make and model is in the headline of one of their links and they take specific issue with this particular vehicle. And it’s true, the dodge brand attracts a lot of asshole drivers that weave through traffic. The misnaming is deliberate and tongue-in-cheek.
But it isn’t funny like at all 😭. But yea you might be right.
God the joke was just so flat that it’s making me mad and distracting me from an otherwise good post lol
It’s a pun, it’s not supposed to be laugh out loud funny. It takes you a second to get it and then you groan and tell the orator to fuck off.
I like it because it will live inside the head of car brains who actually care that much about make and model even though we’re all still on the same page and it literally doesn’t matter.
Maybe that’s the joke 😂
I didn’t get it at first either but it’s definitely a clever play on words referring to dodge chargers being driven by reckless drivers, i.e. used to “dodge” other vehicles including fords.
Seems like a stretch of a joke, but aiight.
Maybe, but I appreciate the semi-alliteration between “ford-dod-ger” and “dodge-char-ger”. Don’t read it like a make/model but as a descriptive term (the syllabic stress changes a bit) and it makes a little more sense.
…and I’ve analyzed the joke to death now. You’re welcome!
