What is wrong with me that I do not understand?
It’s a parody/metaphor.
Listen, Zeus18, if you can’t get it then you are always welcome to leave 
Napoleon Dynamite: This is pretty much the worst video ever made.
Kip: Napoleon, like anyone can even know that.
Uncle Rico: You know what, Napoleon? You can leave.
Napoleon: You guys are retarded!
