It would only be funny if the Count on Sesame Street did it.

I hate it when people giving a short, humorous response decide to point out how many words their answer is.

Girl 1: Tony called eight times last night and left five voicemail messages. He’s getting so annoying.
Girl 2: Two words: restraining order.

Somehow, that format is supposed to make it funnier. As if counting increases comedy.

That must be why accountants are soooooooo hilarious.

If you really want to be original, start using it for longer responses.

Girl 1: I’ve been having trouble going to bed lately. For the life of me, I can’t seem to fall asleep.
Girl 2: Thirteen words: Drink some warm milk mixed with a nice blend of Nyquil and vodka.
