Richard Osman’s joke was made so much better by the people who didn’t get it
Here’s Richard Osman taking time out on his hitchhiking holiday to the Far East to take a picture (and make a joke) about the Great Wall of China.

Which was all very well, but it was made even better by the number of people only too keen to point out to the Pointless chap that actually, well, have a read for yourself …

That's a myth, isn't it?

Sorry, but neither are visible from space. #marketingrulestheworld – there are buildings in amazing China that are.

Now that’s not true. The wall isn’t visible from space but I accept you are!

Never let the facts get in the way of a good joke, right??

It’s probably time to go back to Richard.
Can someone explain jokes to people replying that the Great Wall Of China isn’t actually visible from space?
— Richard Osman (@richardosman) November 19, 2018
It's particularly confusing that they had an issue with that, as I assume they weren't explaining that you're not visible from space.

I bet the Germans have a word for people proving they are less clever than you by attempting to approve they are more clever than you.
