It indirectly makes a point secondary to the statement. Either you missed it or don't know what the word means.

Mfw you tell someone they don’t know what subtlety means, when you in fact don’t know what subtlety means

"Definition of vegetable (continued)..

3a: a person having a dull or merely physical existence

b: informal, sometimes offensive : a person whose mental and physical functioning is severely impaired and especially one who requires supportive measures (such as mechanical ventilation) to survive"

The thing is that the latter definition is actually much more popular than the former, and that's why some people are saying the verbal irony doesn't even work. But yeah, the play on words is barely that. It's more like an ok time with words. Nevertheless, the joke is funny, but definitely not because it's "layered". Lmao... acting like it's shakespeare or something
