I had to think on this one a bit, but then I realized this was more of an "explain comedy" kind of a moment. There's an old expression, "If you have to explain a joke, it isn't funny."

With that in mind, I think it's more about the absurdity of people falling for something like this. These kind of clickbait posts have existed since instant messengers were their own thing, and not just another part of every social media page, but people keep blindly copy-pasting them like lemmings...
