Is This Cartoon Funny

[Strong Eagle]

Or is it only funny in an American context?

If you take out the American context, there wouldn't be anything funny here, just a cartoon of a lady shaving an XXL rat.

No. That's funny. American context or not...

Fair enough, but why do you think it is funny?

Do you really have to ask that question? It is an American joke right!

I mean I cannoot see the funny side, please explain it to me, it must be something to do with the beaver, I guess, after all she's just a woman.

Now I would think it was really funny, if the beaver was shaving a pussy, for example!

Please enlighten me?

Please enlighten me?

Not possible, I don't think... at least under these circumstances.

Hey, great beaver shot

Of course it's a beaver! I said "rat" because if you don't understand the beaver connotations, you're going to assume large generic rodent, rat, not beaver.

Anyway, SE is right, any time you've got to explain a joke, it loses everything that was funny about it.

But for those who are dying to know, did you see Naked Gun? That scene where the cop follows his lady-friend (who's wearing a skirt) up the ladder to the attic? He looks up and exclaims: "Heyyy, nice beaver!". To which she (off-camera) replies: "Yeah, I had it stuffed the other day", and then she hands him an actual stuffed beaver.

Funny stuff. And a pretty heavy clue as to the ins and outs of this image here.

Anyone still not getting this, ask mummy.

You're right!! That would be funny.... In some parts of the world, people would pay good money to see that! Phew. I've had a good laugh at that.
