ITT: everyone missing the joke and whining about ad placement.
-
Man vs Woman.
-
Wife Bad.
-
Big Car, Big Dick.
-
Man Leaves/Flees/MGTOW.
-
Women Expensive.
-
Showoff Wedding.
-
Eternal Bride.
The joke is that big trucks are just as frivolous as overpriced weddings, and both of these people are idiots.

Interesting take to say this could even be conceived of as an ad, as that’s clearly based on like a 2009 Dodge. Interesting they used Bullet though, a company called Sterling used to make a heavy frame truck called the Sterling Bullet which would have been based on that body style of Ram.
They used “bullet” because the entire comic is setting up the joke about having “dodged a bullet”.
I’m not sure when it happened, but the author of these comics definitely pulled a Scott Addams at some point.
Probably when he got enough money to start thinking Republicans make some good points about tax rates
Good call. Big expensive weddings are silly.
Big expensive trucks are also silly.
But they’re at least potentially useful.
What is this garbage?
Wife bad
Yeah this comic might be the worst I’ve seen. Like ad placement as well, wut?
It’s not an ad. The entire comic is setting up a pun around the male character feeling like he’s dodged a bullet.
Its mocking overly-expensive weddings. It’s mocking overly-expensive cars/trucks. It’s mocking self-centred people in relationships who are oblivious to their partners’ perspectives. It’s mocking people who have no financial sense and see their wants as needs but are happy to dismiss their partners’ wants as unimportant. It’s mocking car adverts. But mostly, it’s just a silly pun.
Yeah, it’s a meta bad humor joke. Wife bad and inconsiderate.
Came to Lemmy so I don’t get advertising. Pretty sure infantile cartoon can be made without obvious product placement?
“Dodged a bullet”. It’s a brand name perfectly used to convey a joke.
Joke employed to feature product. Tomato, tomahto.
Careful, I just got down voted to shit for making the same mistake
It’s not a mistake. Creators need to be reminded product placement has zero role at Lemmy.
