    I rolled a twenty for my thinking but the DM said I had to confirm it, and I rolled a 1 for the confirm, so now One Side Good, Other Side Bad

      I’m not getting what you mean. I’m not a D&D player and know just basic stuff about rolls. Would a confirmation roll here mean an outside manipulation of what would have come to pass?

        The joke is that a 20 is a ‘critical’. However, the rules as written (though I’ve never actually played in a group that uses this rule), you have to roll a second time to ‘confirm’ a crit.

        The joke here, then, is that I was close to having ‘critical’ thinking, but I missed it, so now One Side Good, Other Side Bad.
