Alright, listen up, buttercup. The joke is saying that Americans are so dumb they only speak one language, while the rest of the world is out there being all fancy with their multiple tongues. It's playing on the stereotype that Americans ain't too bright when it comes to anything outside their own backyard. You probably agree. Don't worry, a lot of people think you are not very smart and they aren't afraid to say it!
