I don't think that's the joke, beyond a bit of "kids are fucking stupid." There's a lot of commentary out there about it possibly being a satire but it's definitely more tragedy than comedy. Midsummer Night's Dream is the comedy about whirlwind romance.
I keep waiting for one of these drama scenes where someone grabs another dude's gun and points it at their head to end with the guy saying "okay" and pulling the trigger.
Yeah, I hate how everyone but me does that
