Yeah. It’s weird to me that people are always complaining about rote / standard / impersonal questions that don’t allow anyone to shine outside of bs corporate buzzspeak, and then when someone posts a genuinely original, funny question about an elephant (which I would love to see on an application!) all those same people are criticizing it. 
 
What exactly does everyone want? I’ll take the elephant question, please and thank you

I think it's because the question is both out of character for a corporation and somewhat inappropriate for the context, so it comes off as suspicious, insincere, and/or possibly deceitful.

Most people expect formality and decorum from a prospective employer, especially during the hiring process.
