Except that people don't "just feel sad" sometimes. It always has a reason, often it's just a biological one and not linked to a tragic event.
I used to get horrible fits of depression for no reason. After a few years I've had enough and consulted a doctor and it turned out I was suffering from a lack of proteins and vitamin Bs.
Some people also get really sad sometimes because they sleep too much or too little. Or it's the hormones acting up. There can be so many logical reasons.

(Sorry to be the asshole here)

You're not being an asshole, exactly, but you are kind of missing the point. Everything Night Vale is very much tongue-in-cheek. They aren't unaware of what clinical depression is or what chemical imbalances are. The tweet is simply a way to put an unexpected, whimsical twist on something most people can identify with-- those episodes where you just feel sad, for whatever reason.

Earlier in the thread, someone mentioned this Night Vale tweet:

"You have nice skin. It really holds in all your blood and organs - no leaking or nothing. You look great."

See? Another twist on the unexpected. It's not because they don't understand that a person's skin is usually complimented because of its appearance or texture. They know that; that's the basis of the joke.
