Yes, you are missing something: it's a joke. People sometimes overstate things to achieve a comical effect. People use comical effects for a variety of purposes: to get other people to like them, to make themselves (and the things they make) look more approachable, to covertly criticise their own weaknesses and so on. You might not find it very funny but you know, it's still a joke. Obviously.
