[ Don't forget, he also made you a dozen anti-corruption jams. How mamy of those have you tried exactly? Inquiring minds want to know. ]

Memes?

[ Please have mercy on this ignorant fool! Sero and Kaminari have yet to educate him on this topic! ]

Updog?

[ Midoriya. We spoke about mercy. Do you think this fool knows what updog is when he's clueless about memes?! ]

[wannasmash]

[ In the vain hope of finding at least one that was edible, he has tried exactly all of them, just the tiniest taste, and they were all cursed in more ways than one.

They did mitigate corruption though. ]

You don't... know about updog...?

[ He expected Todoroki to be clueless, but he was always the kind of person to entertain impossible hopes. Sero and Kaminari have been slacking, clearly... ]

Anyway it's not important.

[swellter]

[ So... in other words, they're just like medicine. Good for the body just not the tastebuds. He'll take that as a job well done. ]

What's an updog?

[ ooc; i have no idea what this is either and now i refuse to look it up for the sake of being just as clueless as shouto. ]

[butnotyet]

well it isn't singular so much as conceptual, a non-count noun — much as how you wouldn't ask "what's an algebra" or "what's a rice", you're phrasing it wrong, i'm sorry to say! try without the indefinite article to get the understanding right. 👍

[swellter]

You didn't answer the question.

[butnotyet]

that's because you didn't ask the right question yet.

[swellter]

[ A long moment of silence before he starts typing again. ]

It's okay if you don't know, I don't know either. We can both ask Midoriya.

[ Alfred is a snake, now. He doesn't have hands, in order to facepalm, which is why he's going to have to take a moment to find someone's hand, in the house, to bury his face in before he can go back to this. ]

are you familiar with the format of jokes, overall, and how sometimes you have to ask a question in a very specific way in order to get to the punchline? memes are really similar most of the time. try asking the question again, and then i can answer it.

1/3

[swellter]

I know the concept.

[ No, he really doesn't. ]

2/3

[swellter]

[ But that explanation does have a lightbulb ping in his head. ]

Oh, I think I understand. Give me a moment.

[ There's a pause on his end while he tries to remember the proper wording for this. You see, he wants to get it right. ]

3/3

[swellter]

[ Okay, now he's ready. ]

Knock, knock.

should probably have remembered to say at some point that the UN on these is "dangernoodle"

[butnotyet]

[ ... oh boy. ]

who's there?

/no idea what this means

[swellter]

Updog.

Re: /no idea what this means

[butnotyet]

updog who?

[ wait for it, wait for it ... ]

(or do you want to try again in a different joke format?)

[swellter]

That's what I'd like to know too.

Do you have an answer? Or should we go ask Midoriya?

[wannasmash]

[ It seems Alfred, Augustine's Omen, has decided to deal the finishing blow... because Midoriya could not bring himself to... ]

I'm sorry... I didn't have the heart to tell you...

[swellter]

Tell me what?

[ He remains ever clueless. ]

[wannasmash]

What's...

No I can't do it
It's too much

[ Clueless, meet hapless. He regrets everything. ]

[swellter]

Midoriya, is it dangerous?

[wannasmash]

Some jokes can be dangerous...

[ He has to do it. It will be better coming from a friend in the long run, right? Maybe? He must be the hero this chat needs. ]

It's a call-and-response. Ask about updog again here and I'll tell you.

[swellter]

[ That does NOT help your cause. ]

That's not how jokes work.

[ Oh, no. Now he's getting IDEAS in his head. The kind that end with terrible conclusions like how you might be All-Might's secret love-child. ]

Midoriya. Are they training you to be a dog?

1/2

[wannasmash]

2/2

[wannasmash]

No????? Why would they do that? That's not my Quirk.

It is how this joke works. Please just ask the question so I can give the joke response.

[ He's dying, Squirtle. ]

Video | Locked to Midoriya

[swellter]

[ Please make sense now because he's mildly suspecting you are being mistreated. On second thought, he adds a lock to the conversation and switches to video. A blunt neutrality permeates his features, his tone calm and cold. ]

Please tell me what's going on.

[video]

[wannasmash]

[ He blinks in surprise at his friend with a small eh? escaping his mouth. He sighs. ]

I'm sorry Todoroki-kun, I'm not the best at telling jokes. Here, I'll say it, and you can finish the joke on me...

[ He takes a small breath. Here it comes. He will fall on his sword for you, friend. Remember this. ]

What's updog?
