Drbilljoe: I mean, part of the comedy is how Nunnaly is rather negative about herself.
Like, the doctor was complimenting her hair and how outstanding it is, but Nunnaly just take it negatively as it being too abnormal.
Or even just looking back when she got her magic gear.
While part of the 2nd thing might be an actual jab, I think most people would think graduating as overall 2nd of a prestigious school is still something impressive.
