      Facts about one of the worst people in history, along with the jokey implication that he’s in hell, are so woke, aren’t they?

      Clearly the non-woke thing would be to celebrate the guy who was so atrocious to the natives that even the Spanish royals were outraged and had him brought back to Spain in chains.

      But hey, he “discovered America,” am I right? Ignoring the millions of people who already lived there at the time, along with the Vikings who got there 500 years before he did.

      Michael is trying to get Chidi to start a new hobby. He suggested Chidi try cartography, like Columbus. Janet is currently undergoing maintenance and is stuck in fun fact mode. The joke is that Janet is harshing the vibe and being a downer because she’s broken. It is funny.

        Any joke is funny once it is explained.

        Nevertheless just those two slides do not include what you have described as the funny part of the joke.
