|
| rdfs:comment | - A classic gag. Alice tells Bob some news, which he interprets in a wrong (and hilarious) way. She tries to explain and correct his mistake, but he applies his misinterpretation to the explanation as well.

Related to Boke and Tsukkomi Routine, Chain of Corrections and Who's on First?. Examples of Sustained Misunderstanding include:
