But that's the joke, that Troy doesn't know any better.

EDIT: I don't get the contention here, this isn't exactly a stretch and it's completely in line with, not only Troy's character, but Harmon's sense of humor.

I don't think it is.

It is. Troy, like a lot of people, doesn't know that those are officially sanctioned. He probably doesn't care either, like most people who have those stickers.

No it's not, there's way too much information that the audience would need beforehand to get the joke. The line works because the imagery of someone peeing on their problems can be funny without any context.

Exactly, a lot of the humor in this show is reference humor, and the deal with the sticker isn't exactly obscure. This is perfectly in line with the "idiot Troy" humor of the early season.

Most jokes are funny for more than one reason. It absolutely blows my mind that there's even an argument here.

You're reading way too far into this. The line is idiot Troy humor because he's giving a childlike explanation, not because he's ignorant of copyright infringement.

Jokes can be funny for more than one reason, but in this case yours is projected.

You're the one projecting, so this is even funnier than it needs to be.

The idiot Troy humor is enhanced by the uncharacteristic nature of the sticker. It's idiot Troy humor that he thinks Calvin is like that.

I'm not reading into this at all, it's pretty surface-level.

There really isn't. The joke works on more than one level for one, and on another, there have been tons of jokes that are funny to some but much more funny to people who get the reference. It wasn't even close to a risky joke. You are correct about why it works for people who don't get it. You're missing the fact that it is even funnier the more you know about the situation. If you just know the stickers are not canon and he's confusing the two it is hilarious. If you know how pissed Waterson would be about this it is just even more funny. I think the last part of that could be a happy coincidence - Bill's reaction, I mean. The part about simply confusing the stickers and the strips is funny enough to stand on its own. The stickers are quick and stupid and the strips are often much deeper and nuanced. Troy, a much more simple man than Abed, is just doing his "slightly misinformed" thing that he always does here.
