        Huh…what they actually write in the response in no way suggests that to me, it’s just completely nonsensical like they started typing the response but accidentally hit send too soon and just didn’t bother fixing it.

          Mom: Ok, let’s get in the car, time to go.

          Child named Brian: But there is no car.

          Mom: Brian!

            You’ve excellently demonstrated how different contexts makes different things work…you scenario has no similarities to the image

              I am merely intending to show how ‘just saying someone’s name’ can be taken as a reprimand/mild reproach. Which is what is happening in the original image.

              At this point so many people have explained this that I feel you might be willfully ignorant. Cut it out.

              You can’t act like a precise robot that is always right and also beep your red sirens when other people are seeing humor that you don’t see. If you’re being a robot then chances are you are wrong about the jokes.

              In this case the juxtaposition of the natural in-person way of speaking and the unnatural asynchronous text chat if twitter is the source of the humor. When you say that the two scenarios are not similar, that is part of the engine that drives the joke and makes it funny. It’s as if you see shutting everyone down for misunderstanding that it was not a sports bar but in fact a metal pipe that the two men walked into when the one man ducked.

      Their response is “Brian…”. Like “let me hold your hand whole I say this”

      It looks weird because they tagged him first
