    I don’t get what they did with the hot dog bun. At first I didn’t get it, then I thought I got it as a euphemism with the hot dog, but the bun really throws me off. Help?

      Weird guy stuck his johnson in a hot dog bun at the grocery store, hence why he’s the defendant pictured in a criminal hearing

        Didn’t get it as well. A hot dog bun looks nothing like an ear. Where would he have put the q-tip? Came looking for an explanation in the comments.

        It’s really just a dick joke? What does a dick have to do with q-tips? Or ears? Like, that’s a really weird setup. If you’re going for humour-for-6-year-olds, why bother with all that prologue stuff that isn’t really connected to the joke anyway?

            Your comment made me understand the ‘joke’ but it didn’t make the comic funny. This is low-brow humor at absolute best.

              Explaining a joke never makes it funny.

              Also, you’re calling a joke low-brow while also admitting you didn’t understand it.

              Do you also need me to explain why that’s a self-own?

                The part that’s hard to understand is the convoluted setup with the q-tip. That comic is like that meme with the guy doing a kick flip on a rake… Two panels that have a weird setup with a statement that actually runs contrary to what doctors currently recommend, just to end up with “lol, I pulled out da penis in public and put it in bread! Funny!”. It suggests more depth than it delivers so it leaves readers wondering what the hell they missed… Just to then ask people and realise: nothing.

                Lol imagine being the guy that thinks understanding unintelligent ‘humor’ is somehow a flex.

          It’s not just “lol dicks.” With just a single balloon of words, we can imply that this dude stuck his dick in a hot dog bun in public, got arrested and is on trial, and this is the best defense he could think of.

            proceeds to explain the dick joke

            Additionally, you don’t need the first two panels. Like, not at all. It’s a dick joke with a long setup that seems to give it more depth when it doesn’t.

              hates on the joke

              Admits they didn’t get the joke

              Proceeds to double down on their missing the joke and hating on it, even after it was explained by multiple people.

              Wanna keep going? I can do this all day.
