... wouldn't that be pronounced the same, though?

Non is pronounced without a complete final n, but air diverts through the sinuses as if you did pronounce the n. Or even as if you said nōng, but didn't finish saying the g.

Yes, it was joke. To those who don't speak French, it just sounds like "no" with a French accent.

“No”, on the other han, does not sound like “non” to the French; they’re used to differentiating nasal versus non-nasal vowels.
