Does this help?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Switcheroo

It's kind of an internet culture thing to respond like that...

No I'm familiar with the ol' Reddit switcheroo. I don't understand what exactly is being switched in this case.

Yeah, it's a bit of a stretch here. The comment is intentionally mixing things up for comedic effect, but it's not a direct switch of anything...

Damn. I didn’t understand the joke the above user was making and was hoping that by understanding why it’s a switcheroo I could understand the original joke. But now I’m no closer than where I started.
