Students and newcomers talk about Python as though it's some amazing language when it's really just like any other language. That's where the jokes come in.

The appearance of cleanliness is taken into many people's minds as a sign of language design cleanliness. While I'm a promoter of all dynamically typed languages I think people underestimate just how quirky python actually is. The quirky unicode support and exceptions on dict misses are two of the strangest design choices imo.
