In both American and Brazilian contexts, calling something a 'ridiculous answer' is a direct form of criticism often used in casual conversation, education, and media. In Brazil, humor and exaggeration are culturally valued, so ridiculous answers might be met with laughter and banter rather than harsh judgment. In the US, such answers might trigger more formal correction in professional settings.
