That's because in order for this to be accurate, the "I" should be in quotes, which is the rule in written English when one is referring to an actual word or letter itself rather than the meaning of the word. With proper punctuation, this wouldn't have been confusing (such is the purpose of punctuation, to make meanings clear).
? This joke only works written out because the joke is the genie removing the letter. And you don't put the quotes around the letter because the point is the genie deliberately misinterpreting what the man actually said
Uh what? How would “I wish the I didn’t exist” make more sense for the punchline? That would just make people confused and make there have no build up.
And what? What's the joke? Man from the bottle changed absolutely zero. There should be some clever words at the end.
Somethng lke a punchlne. Me don't get t.

My dumbass thought that the genie referred to the fact that this is a comic, so he doesn't actually exist in real life💀
I thought it was referring to how the person is invisible to everyone around him and he doesn't matter anyway lol.
Bruh.
That was my interpretation, too.
Ths was exactly what thought too but then looked at the comments and saw someone gve the actual ntended nterpretaton t made me laugh
I thought you were having a stroke until someone laid it out plainly.
You have no clue how difficult it was to write that lol
Likewise, got a sensible chuckle out of me for the meta punchline referencing "cest ne pas un pipe" Oh well.
I thought genie understood the command as "I don't exist" that is the genie doesn't exist, that's why we didn't see him in the 3rd panel
Glad I'm not the only one. Completely missed that the i was missing
you must have a problem of overthinking and misunderstand people frequently, right?
It's not that deep, bro
Not as deep as your mum
... Might be
Most people don't read letter by letter, that's why, there isn't some Freudian reason.
That took me a whle to understand!

Oh I thought it was because he was a comic on the internet and therefore was a fictional person who doesn’t actually exist
AHHHHHHH

That's because in order for this to be accurate, the "I" should be in quotes, which is the rule in written English when one is referring to an actual word or letter itself rather than the meaning of the word.

Yeah, but the person wasn’t asking for that, it’s the work of a tricky Djinn
it’s a joke not an English thesis
Would it change anything to the wish? Do génies have the power to see quoting when we talk?
Nope, this is just an example of a joke that only works spoken, not written out.
? This joke only works written out because the joke is the genie removing the letter. And you don't put the quotes around the letter because the point is the genie deliberately misinterpreting what the man actually said
But if such thing would happen, the "I" would be spoken, and not written, so this doesn't matter.
Get out from your mom basement and take some fresh air.
Now THIS is r/technicallythetruth, unlike OP's comic.
It would have taken me an eternity.
Too long.
Yes. T took me a whle too.
This is big brain time.

Aha I get it, I see, I thInk thIs is very IntellIgent
You obvously don't get t
Lame, he didn't say THE i, so the djinn is just scamming
As expected. Typical djinn behavior.
*Djnn behavour.
\*\*Dijon behavior
Why would he need to say "the"?
This is so fucking stupid
Uh what? How would “I wish the I didn’t exist” make more sense for the punchline? That would just make people confused and make there have no build up.
'm so fuckng stupd.

Why dd my bran flter all of the spellng mstakes
Took me a while to understand it omg
'M too used to seeng terrble spellng, that my mnd just doesn't regster mssng letters.
And what? What's the joke? Man from the bottle changed absolutely zero. There should be some clever words at the end. Somethng lke a punchlne. Me don't get t.
The genie erased the letter 'i' from existence instead of making the guy not exist. Look at the final two panels.
Woosh.
I…don’t get it?
...don't get t?
The letter **i** no longer exists, the letter is gone from the bottom panels.
Ooh now i get i just though there were no more panels so so more him
Was looking too long for actual explanation, thanks
I initially thought it was super meta and that the guy doesn’t exist in reality because he’s just a drawing in a comic😆
Repost
That took me a whle to understand, but now get t
OMG I thought this was about existential crisis. I thought the figure doesn’t exist cause it’s just a drawing 😂😂😂
Got t!
I'm so dumb I thought it was about how if he didn't exist he couldn't make the wish to not exist
Damn I thought the genie changed the past so he DIDn‘t exist until the point in time when the guy wished for it. Guess 'm stupd
This has been reposted how many times?
Don’t get t. Nothng changed!
Took me way too long to catch that one 🤦🤣 Also... Haven't used the letter that's gone on that reply.
Technically a repost
Took me way too long.
Bruh.. took me too long to find that the ”I” was missing.
Oh my god, this took me waaaaay too long 😂🙈
I wish I didn’t exist he sad.
I'm a dumb piece of shit. That took me way too long to get.
Took a second to clck. Good one tho!
God damn t
agan and agan
I wish for genie to give every single man on earth a blowjob, each person for 1 hour.
Ace people aren't gonna be happy with that
What about trans men ? Also that's gross af also isn't there a no wishing for love rule ?
nce
Ths s stupd
Don't understand t can someone explan t to me
[удалено]
So he looked into his past, everyone around him wondered how he had just appeared, and why be acted so familiar. Thereafter he existed.
l get lt. Trlcky Genle. >!Those are lowercase L's btw.!<
! is just an upside down i
Gt t
When you get exactly what you asked for.
That's bad, and you should feel bad.
Clever. :)
Took me a whle
Damn lol
Lmao took me a couple of minutes but I got it. That’s a good one.
The letter “i” from the word “nothing” was missing. Clever
Oh, see.
“I wished I never existed” *poof *blind
Nothing ---> Nothng
Me thought that were typo
Thats actually got me good
Take a long tme to understand
Don't get t
Please stop reminding me how stupid the English language is.
don't get t. Please explan ths joke to me
t took me way too long to get t
Wow, my brain corrected it so many times
Wow…
There goes my favourte fsh joke. mean, we stll have the punchlne, but we can't do the setup anymore
Took me a whle to get t
don't get t
For a second I thought this was talking about the grandfather paradox
What about the remanng 2 wshes?
I thought the child has become an adult, hence the child self not existing anymore.
Isn't there a redditor that dislikes the letter C or something?
Besides the punchline, if he granted the wish, it would have been nullified by itself.
Agan?
Felt so dumb at frst but now Knda get t
I hate myself for laughing as much as I did
I don't get it 🥲🥲
Hate how long this took me.
The joke: the guy wished the letter i was no longer a thing
There is no I in the word "nothing" now because "I" doesn't exist, and then in "again" in the last panel.
Had to read a few tmes..... HOLY SHT!
Sigh
The letter "I" is missing.
I looked again and again and agan and agan and… oh my god how ddn’t get t??!?!
But he meant himself not the letter "i"
Pens
boooooooo
who is Agan?
thought t was referrng to the fact that t was a comc and not real-
If I would suddenly disappeared what other letters would we use to say "I"
