    Conflating two concepts can be funny (e.g. puns) but this isn’t that. “Dereferencing a movie ” has no meaning outside of manual memory management.

    I understand humour is subjective but some jokes aren’t as strong as others (and some jokes aren’t jokes at all).

      Referencing is the term that is being conflated.

      Enough people apparently find this funny here. Not everyone needs to find every bit of comedy funny.
