The joke here is in imagining the type of person that would meet platonic friends on the Internet. It's polished, the sound is great the voices are convincing. The problem is it's almost too real. It's like listening in on an awkward conversation - nothing happens that's absurd enough or telling enough to make me laugh. No comic narrative evolves - unless it's these charaters proving over and over again that they are painfully deliberate.
