"Yields a joke when preceded by its quotation" yields a joke when preceded by its quotation.
Q: What's quining?
A: "Is an example, when preceded by its quotation" is an example, when preceded by its quotation.
"Kind of misses the point of the joke" kind of misses the point of the joke.
"However, yields an even better joke (due to an extra meta level) when preceded by its quotation and a comma", however, yields an even better joke (due to an extra meta level) when preceded by its quotation and a comma.
"Is a even better joke than the previous joke when preceded by its quotation" is actually much funnier when followed by something completely different.
“when quined, makes quite a joke” when quined, makes quite a joke
Reminds me of A Self-Referential Story.
