What is the joke here?

Young Blood

I know a couple of people who have 'went to Harvard' or 'went to Harvard Law School' on their Facebook profiles. I know they're been sarcastic but what exactly is the joke?

So this "went to Harvard Law School" walked into a bar; and the barman said "went to Harvard?"

I did indeed!! Says the "went to Harvard Law School" I did indeed!!

And with that, the barman proclaims...

"went to Harvard Law School!!!!!!!"

Probably the same type of people who, under profession on a dating website, say "Full-time Mammy".

i.e. I have a kid and I'm on the rock n roll.

It means they are well established people who probably attained Phds ,who am I kidding ? They probably got IQs smaller than their shoe sizes.

So it's the idea of that particular person going to Harvard? So they're joking about themselves. I see.

So if I put say 'went to Trinity College' on my profile and intended it as a joke would people find that funny?

I went to Oxford. It's alright, but the roads are very narrow. We drove on to Cambridge.

If your name was Cletus & you're from Alabama, then yes!

Because the option was available and more desirable than putting nowhere

Because it's such an unrealistic goal for those people and they probably think Harvard is just some place you see in the movies but then they see it's actually a real university they think it's hilarious to put it as their place of education.

Kind of like the scumbags putting Compton as their hometown

I'm so jealous of these people. They usually always get a full time job at being a mad bastard aswell.

Few people make it to harvard. Most end up in "school of hard knocks" or "none lol"

It's more impressive when they're full time mad bastards, or working at being a boss.

It's kind of like a group thing?

It goes to show - you can tell a Yale man, but you can't tell him much.
