Do you get the joke in MacFarlane's signature?

"If you think the waiters are rude, you should see the manager."

I either don't get it, or I do and it's not funny.

I think it's great.

Edit: To explain it for those who apparently don't:

Consider: "You think the new radeon is good? You should see the new geforce!", so it implies that the manager is worse than the waiters... and the other meaning of "see the manager" being "complain to the manager".

Duh, of course I get it. Always have. What do I look like, some kind of stupid idiot? Like some idiot who doesn't get a joke? Some stupid moron?

I think it was a real-life placard in a restaurant in China.

Oh, I guess I did get it all this time. I just never saw it as a regular statement of "if the rudeness of the waiters is bothering you, you should speak with the manager to voice your complaint." I always read it as "yes our waiters are rude, and so is the manager."

I don't know. I guess I ruined it for myself.

I didn't know it was a joke until someone said that it was a joke.

Crap. I was hoping there was some clever inside joke I wasn't privy to, but instead it is just an awkwardly worded sentence.

My thoughts exactly, Steven.

I don't think it's a joke per se, just a play on words.

So where's yours?

I always got it, never found it that funny though.

Also, now seems like a good time to paraphrase E. B. White (or Mark Twain, it's debated):
Explaining a joke is like dissecting a frog. You may find out how it works but it's dead.

I guess being Jewish helped. I always read it in Mel Brooks' voice. It makes sense then.
