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.
The five Mindful trainings rooted in the five precepts offered by the Buddha, number five, is about mindful consumption, to help us not bring toxins and poisons into our body or mind, as expressed by Thich Nhat Hanh. He offers this direct quote “Movies are food for our eyes, ears, and minds. When we watch TV, the program is our food. Children who spend five hours a day watching television are ingesting images that water the negative seeds of craving, fear, anger, and violence in them. We are exposed to so many forms, colors, sounds, smells, tastes, objects of touch, and ideas that are toxic and rob our body and consciousness of their well-being.”
Christian text say "Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. "
Buddha is quoted as saying “All that we are is the result of what we have thought: it is founded on our thoughts and made up of our thoughts. If a man speak or act with an evil thought, suffering follows him as the wheel follows the hoof of the beast that draws the wagon… If a man speak or act with a good thought, happiness follows him like a shadow that never leaves him.”
So perhaps violent media is creating it or revealing it. Either way a brain is not to be fuked with. The mind is a collection of experience, if that mind has tons of violent expressions it will seek to see the world consistanltly, that is our ego trying to make sense of the world with expectations met.
See, it’s like when the pticher catches a five yard touchdown right after being handed an off-site yelow card. If he doesn’t tackle a goal in the next round it will never be a double-birdie and I know nothing about sportsball.
“I still stand behind it! Humor with a victim is dumb. Suffering is dumb. Watching things suffer is also dumb. I’m a blast at parties funny worry about me…”-STOMPYI
I still stand behind it! Humor with a victim is dumb. Suffering is dumb. Watching things suffer is also dumb. I’m a blast at parties don’t worry about me…
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
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
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
No. It was never fun watching Larry curly or moe poke eyes out and smash heads. After watching a bunch as a kid I smacked a buddy in 2nd grade thinking it would be funny. My friend was hurt and confused and I learned humor shouldn’t have a victim.
and it is those movies that are setting expectations… just sayin… there are two wolves in you, a frontal cortex of thinking, and an animal subconscious, all content gets pushed through both and one can respond withing milaseconds to release stress hormones, the more stress you have the less your life will be. I do like gif replies though!
One time I brought a horse into a bar and they called the cops to kick me out. I can’t believe comedians didn’t warn me I wasn’t allowed to do that irl. We really do live in a society
I see ypur view. I am saying there is no free sandbox of the mind where you can watch or think of harm with it harming you. It may be very subtle or take a long time to accumulate bit it’s effects will present themselves on all your actions.
I beleive you are what ypu consume. The animal part of our brain also sees what our logical cortex sees but doesn’t have logic or reason it just knows its okay to see something that is hurt. My opinions stem from deep Buddhist beleifs of karma or if you’d rather Hubbermans idea of a Reticular Activitng System RAS being pre loaded with content. You view a mountain stream for a day or look at slapstick for a day and put those two people down for dinner and see how different they are. Or as Rumi said WHAT YPU SEEK IS AEEKING YOU, or as common ideas have said ypu become your five closes friends, you are what you eat. The body is a collection of earth we’ve assembled the mind is a collection of experience. A mind full of slapstick will be slapstick. A mind full of peace and actual joyous humor will be peaceful and joyous.
I know this isn’t the place, which is why I deleted my "this isn’t funny " comment that spurred this. No one cares about actual spiritual growth just funny ow my balls type shit we see on that documentary Idoicracy.

Edit: aaaaaand the comment is gone.
What do you think happens when you watch say… John Wick… yes the frontal cortex is like “this is a movie I don’t have to worry”, yet your nervous system doesn’t need your frontal cortex to set into motion a whole chain reaction. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0747563220300133 shows me long term media violence exposure will increase proactive aggression and reactive aggression, this study https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4393354/ shows me experiencing higher levels of real-life violence was linked with maladaptive outcomes including higher trauma symptoms, escape to fantasy, and reduced empathy. this book in 2002 https://www.amazon.com/Media-Violence-its-Effect-Aggression/dp/0802084257 talks about how the body automatically responds to violence weather you frontal cortex knows its fake or not. this study acknowledges higher anxiety in youth while staying away from naming the exact mechanism https://www.researchgate.net/publication/256469919_The_Effects_of_Media_Violence_on_Anxiety_in_Late_Adolescence . this study talks about the increase in heart rate and other metrics like blood pressure from watching violence https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamapediatrics/fullarticle/204790 .
And that is just science…

what does this have to do with a cartoon man sitting on the wheel of a bicycle?
Now explain it in basketball terms
See, it’s like when the pticher catches a five yard touchdown right after being handed an off-site yelow card. If he doesn’t tackle a goal in the next round it will never be a double-birdie and I know nothing about sportsball.
What did it originally say?
No idea, sorry…

Glad you found something to feel happy. It’s a tough feeling so hold it!
slapstick humor: am I a joke to you?!
No. It was never fun watching Larry curly or moe poke eyes out and smash heads. After watching a bunch as a kid I smacked a buddy in 2nd grade thinking it would be funny. My friend was hurt and confused and I learned humor shouldn’t have a victim.

I would say that a viewer discretion is advised, and also animals sometimes suffer for those funny videos, so it’s not like black or white
I agree on the point of suffering but only think it’s applicable to living
