Interviewer asked about thing then does not get joke about most basic property of thing. Either the interviewer is incredibly incompetent or incapable of getting a joke.
It’s a weird situation even for a job interview. (& I’ve been on job interviews that can only be described as tribunals with 8 judges grilling you simultaneously.)
Humour is not universal, and cracking jokes in an interview is high risk no reward. I’ve rejected candidates that made inappropriate jokes before. Intentions don’t really matter, there’s 10 more candidates.
Yeah, but that’s not what this was.
