Resolved please explain the joke

so i remember i often read about this joke
"bastard don't block my way" villain
"who is the bastard" smug MC
"you are" confused villain
"exactly" Mc goes out of the way
"hhahahahahahah LOL" all of peanut gallery

i felt like i read about this joke many time and i don't know what is the funny bits
thanks for explanation

 

it is necessary to undestand 2 principles
vengeance is served cold
a gentlemen revenge can wait 10 years

 

I can't be certain, but isn't it work on opposite reaction that all other waiting? Like they wait for fight, but MC avoid it or they can see two enemies, but they suddenly hug each other and stuff like that.

 

I don't think that's it

I'm sure this isn't it

 

It's wordplay that makes sense in chinese.
Bastard don't block my way.
Bastard is calling who?
Calling you! Ah
Peanut gallery laughs
Basically wordplay so they are the “bastard”. Although if you use it with modern people it would be considered crass and easily deflected.

 

I have no idea. I’ve neve come across that joke myself, but now I’m curious too.

 

You mean in Chinese 'Who are you calling bastard?' and 'Bastard is calling who?' are written the same way?

 

Wowee. I spend around 40% of my novel reading time on mtl but that was hard to understand.

 

i think this is it
a word play
thanks

 

That means you have never seen yourself in a mirror?

....


Sorry, I will show myself out.

 

It's the way the sentence is written.
Idiot calling who?
The insulter thinks they are saying who are you calling an idiot and respond thinking they're smart saying idiot calling you. Which makes them the idiot insulting themselves.
It doesn't make too much sense in english because it's the structure of the sentence.

It is easily deflected in chinese if they aren't hasty because they can just reword it and say “I am calling you an idiot” so if you use it on a modern person or smart person it won't work. It's only good in ancient setting fiction.

 

At the minimum, provide arguments with your comments, otherwise it simple pointless.

 

Fine, because your reason doesn't make sense,

 

I think Mc called the villan his bastard child and he's smug about it.

 

It was a two way mirror and it showed me you.

 

How do you retain your mental sanity?

 

I probably have seen it in 90% of novels with ancient Chinese setting where there is a transmigrated MC

 

Maybe he only speaks/reads in two languages English, and bad English.

 

Again the same. If you didn't understand, why even comment. If it doesn't make sense, it doesn't mean this is like that for all. English is not my main, of course there will be some mistakes. But that doesn't grant you any right to write some baseless and blank comment, please refrain from that.

 

Oh, I need a right to comment now? What a nice society we have now..

It's okay for a comment to be pointless, heck, even the whole purpose of this thread is almost pointless, why should I go out of my way to formulate a proper argument for a pointless discussion...
