That's fine, humor is subjective. I had a similar experience watching the "manchild" music video recently. I knew it wasn't serious, but I was still annoyed until I thought it through and understood the satire.

It's obviously a self-depreciation/joke style.

There is some truth in it [that doesn't translate well over to some other part of the works]. It requires rather poor infrastructure to be present.

There has been snow for over 2 months here, with relatively low lows (-29C) but no issue like lack of electricity or water.
