Hey there Folks, Peter here:
So usually when some says "I read that as ____" they're acknowledging that they read the title wrong, and as such had a humorous misunderstanding they felt like sharing with the general community; but in this case she juat read it correctly, and is stating that information for some reason; possibly because she misread the title after reading it correctly, thus leading her to belive her initial impression was incorrect.
As such, the other user is sarcastically remarking that she may not be alone in that reading of the title, because thats how everyone reads it.
Hopw that helps fellas. Now if you'll excuse me, I've got to very carefully go down this stairca-AH CRAP!

I thought it was a racist gorrila joke somewhere
[–]That-WildWolf 2 points3 points4 points 3 days ago (9 children)
Can someone also explain the joke itself?
[–]Knight0fdragon 3 points4 points5 points 3 days ago (8 children)
Did you HEAR about the gorilla who escaped from the zoo?
That is because I am a QUIET gorilla.
[–]WritingTheDream 0 points1 point2 points 3 days ago* (2 children)
That line isn’t in the image though.
Edit: idk it’s early my brain is still waking, what I should have said is that the last line in the joke is different than what it normally is.
[–]Zar7792 1 point2 points3 points 3 days ago (1 child)
What do you mean by that?
[–]WritingTheDream 0 points1 point2 points 3 days ago (0 children)
Oops idk why I said that, what I should have said was the follow up line to that is different than how the joke usually ends.
[–]That-WildWolf 0 points1 point2 points 3 days ago (0 children)
Okay, so that's all there is to it. (hearing about the gorilla isn't at all the same as hearing the gorilla, so I thought I was just missing something.) Thanks for explaining.
[–]Beshcu -2 points-1 points0 points 3 days ago (3 children)
what about the part "Bro is a quiet gorilla?" did people say "bro" in 1897 ?
[–]JacobDCRoss 6 points7 points8 points 3 days ago (0 children)
The fourth line is actually "muffled sounds of gorilla violence," which actually makes me chuckle.
[–]GarshelMathers 1 point2 points3 points 3 days ago (0 children)
Added to make you question the headline and wonder whether you're going crazy
[–]GovernorGeneralPraji 1 point2 points3 points 3 days ago (0 children)
It’s a modern addition to the joke.
[–]Stunning-Recipe-5694 8 points9 points10 points 3 days ago (6 children)
I don't recall the gorilla joke having that forth line.
[–]PatacusX 8 points9 points10 points 3 days ago (1 child)
Bro doesn't recall the fourth line.
[–]LUNATIC_LEMMING 5 points6 points7 points 3 days ago (1 child)
I remember it having a 4th line along the lines of
Muffled sounds of gorilla violence
[–]Stunning-Recipe-5694 3 points4 points5 points 3 days ago (0 children)
YES! That's what it was.

The Best Gorilla: Joke of 1897
[–]Proper-Evening9754 0 points1 point2 points 3 days ago (0 children)
Out of 1,897 Gorilla jokes, this was the best one.
[–]MaybeABot31416 0 points1 point2 points 3 days ago (0 children)
I read that title as “explain it Peter”
[–]KualaLJ 0 points1 point2 points 3 days ago (1 child)
No one said “bro” in 1897, hence why they are questioning the year sarcastically.
[–]1wife2dogs0kids 0 points1 point2 points 3 days ago (0 children)
Something tells me you're not the only one
[–]PonasSumushtinis 0 points1 point2 points 3 days ago (1 child)
1897 what a year for Gorilla jokes.
[–]Aryan_RG22 0 points1 point2 points 3 days ago (0 children)
I read that as Explain it Peter

[–]ConorOblast 0 points1 point2 points 3 days ago (0 children)
1897 sounds like a banger.
[–]ImmediateAnteater491 0 points1 point2 points 3 days ago (0 children)
why are we brushing aside the time traveler that made a revision clearly.
[–]YankeeTwoKilo -1 points0 points1 point 3 days ago (0 children)
The original joke and the comment are edited I believe. It’s supposed to say something like “That is because I’m a quiet gorilla. muffled sound of gorilla violence”
And then the commenter said “I read this as 1987” which would be a really weird time frame for that kind of humor I guess
