It's like 90% of people know it's a joke, and 10% are pretending that they know it's a joke.
The 90% then make hilarious jabs and comments about the predicament
And then the 10% is like "**** you, I'm gonna win! ...this is really funny, right guys?"
And then the other 90% is all like "Haha, yeah you're sooooo clever. Don't worry.

"
And then the 10% is all like "I'm gonna waste twenty minutes writing a speech, but don't worry, it's all in good fun"
90%: Oh yeah, that's pretty clever....

2% (out of the 10%):

1% (out of the 10%): **** this, I'm leaving!

99%: lol
1%: Guys, I'm just kidding....
99%:

1%: You guys are clearly too serious

9% (of the 10%): Look how stupid he is, vote for us, guys!!!!!!
90%:

10%: ...kidding
90%:
And then it cycles...
