What if you pull your butt cheeks apart and rub buttholes
The image presented here is structured like a comic strip, consisting of three panels that show a sequence of events. The setting appears to be a bedroom at night, with the main character lying in bed; this character has a skeletal, somewhat grim appearance, possibly representing a personification of death or a grim reaper, and is wearing a hooded cloak. The room is defined by dark, heavy colors and a gothic aesthetic, complete with an ornately carved headboard.
In the first panel, we see a close-up of the hooded character's face, which is displaying an uncomfortable or puzzled expression. Above the character's head, a speech bubble contains a rather peculiar and outlandish question involving a hypothetical intimate action with a name that is being queried. The absurdity of the question adds an element of shock humor.
The second panel zooms out slightly, showing more of the room and the bed. Another character is introduced, depicted by a floating brain with an aggravated facial expression. This brain character responds with a blunt and direct request for the first character to stop, as it is trying to sleep. The contrast in dialogue between the bizarreness of the initial question and the mundane, relatable desire to sleep is comical.
In the third panel, the perspective shifts to show the side of the bed, looking over the shoulder of the hooded character. The character is now seen holding a smartphone and seemingly unmoved by the brain's plea. This reveals that rather than engaging in a face-to-face conversation, the first character is simply reading or texting the strange question on the phone, which highlights the modern context of late-night internet browsing or messaging, creating a mix of the supernatural with the everyday.
The humor in the image likely stems from several factors. Firstly, the unexpected combination of a grim, deathly figure engaging in such a trivial and humorously human activity like reading a phone in bed is inherently funny, as it juxtaposes the timeless with the contemporary, the solemn with the silly. Secondly, the content of the message is intentionally awkward and ridiculous, tapping into the kind of unusual thoughts that might randomly occur to people when they can't sleep.
Lastly, the final gag of the strip is the brain character's attempt to dismiss the ludicrous question in favor of sleep, which can be seen as a punchline that encapsulates the struggle between wanting rest and being kept awake by the non-stop nature of digital communication, with all its nonsense and distractions. It's a play on the familiar experience of seeking rest while the mind, or in this case, a literal brain, is involuntarily subjected to the bizarre content one might find when scrolling through the phone before bed.
