Let me explain: The humor in this comic strip lies in the absurdity as well as the "comedic timing" in the pacing of the individual panels. The symbol at the start clearly depicts a very minimalist version of a person on a bike. The comic however "takes it literally" and imagines a person driving around with only two wheels, one of which runs between their butcheeks (also a "funny part" of the human body). It doesn't show this right away but contrasts two panels where "nothing happens" with the sudden appearance of this... Thing. It gradually reveals three funny things: First, the absurd thought that what is shown in the symbol is literally what is happening, as explained before. Second, the wheel running through the butcheeks, and lastly, that the person doing this is suffering. This means, there must be some even more absurd circumstances that lead to this whole situation.
I hope I could explain to you how this is funny. Although jokes notoriously die while being dissected.
Edit: aaaaaand the comment is gone.
I still stand behind it! Humor with a victim is dumb. Suffering is dumb. Watching things suffer is also dumb. Iβm a blast at parties don't worry about meβ¦
Real humor is funny juxtaposition.... like a monkey wearing a shirt on its head. Dam monkey those go on bodies but wait! Your also a monkey. Now that is peak lolz
You stand behind your comments you keep deleting?
did i stutter? i like deleting, i say too much at times, like this whole thread, i saw humor i thought was dumb I should have moved on. but I do enjoy dialogs with people, I'd imagine I'd have every one of these view points had I lead a similar life to the person.
Sounds edgy man, so you stand behind your words but you also like deleting them afterwards? Especially the first one, this random ass dude really took the time to explain why it's fucking funny and you leave him hanging like that lol
Hey, random ass dude here. Thanks for valuing my time. <3
Haha thank you for making this community a better place <3
cool story brah... whats it got to do with the price of eggs? Do you understand that I deleted my comment after say 5 minutes, realizing tapping on the glass at the zoo isn't good for the animals. Yet here I am making faces at monkeys ... at least were both having a blast!
Haha the guy missing the social intelligence to understand the simplest fucking joke in history calls the rest of the people apes in a zoo haha oh boy this is great
Glad you found something to feel happy. It's a tough feeling so hold it!
You sound miserable. I hope you can find happiness, too.
Happiness is just wanting what you already have.
