[ 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.

I know the concept.

[ 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. ]

updog who?

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

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

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

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

you're really not very good at following hints, are you

see, the problem here is that you still haven't gotten the right format for the query. similarly with computers: if you want the right answer, you have to ask the right question.

updog isn't a person, or an entity; who, while standard for a knock-knock joke, doesn't apply well, because it's not a who, it's a what.

I'll go ask Midoriya then.

look, kids, i did my best, but i am merely an old snake; there are many tricks i can and will learn, but yoga positions requiring limbs will never be on the list.

i tried.
