I don’t really have much to add but feel compelled to say that I really enjoy this type of comedy. Maybe there is already a name for it but I think of it as observational absurdism, or Incorrect Shower Thoughts.
I rarely laugh out loud at it, but it makes me smile extra big to consider it.
I love the idea of someone making a remark based on an absurdly incorrect observation or premise, and as a bonus, this type of comedy rarely has a “target”: it isn’t punch down or up. It’s punching itself if anything.
In every bit of comedy, there’s almost always something who is the foil of the joke. And in these kinds of jokes, it’s the original poster being confidently incorrect.
There is a certain wink at the camera implied in most dad jokes (at least in this dad’s) that I think is replaced with seeming earnestness in this example and in the vein that I’m thinking, but maybe I’m quibbling because I don’t want to have just “reinvented” dad jokes in my comment.

Anyway, just saying.

That’s how I see it anyway.
It’s cute to me because it’s similar to child logic.
look at all those chickens
Dad jokes? I’m no humourologist, but if this isn’t dad jokes, they are probably related to each other somehow.

I recommend old episodes of Burns and Allen. Gracie Allen was a master at this kind of humor
