McSpanky posted:What, nuke it? Yep! You see, the joke of dropping a nuke on the house doesn't have anything to do with Barbie necessarily. You would expect there to be some logical connection between Oppenheimer and Barbie, but by the end you realize it's a non-sequitur. In fact, the format of the joke itself is the punchline. It's funny because it's told as if there was some relationship between nukes and dolls; realizing that there isn't, but also realizing the tweet acts as if there is, is part of the humor! Hope you enjoyed this joke explanation! Thanks for reading.

End of the Barbie movie pulls back to reveal barbieville is really the fake town you see in all those nuke videos.

The historical Barbie Mattel was consumed by guilt over her role in the Manhattan Project. Her family maintains that she was shot in bed by a mysterious intruder, but it’s pretty obvious she killed herself if you look into the case at all. I remember that Unsolved Mysteries where they interviewed her daughter, and it’s extremely depressing to see someone in that degree of denial.

A popular pastime of boys in the 80s was to take their sisters' barbies and put them in the microwave and "nuke" them. There is a long cultural tradition associating barbies with radiation, indicating that the writer of this joke understands Americana to its very core.

I'm pretty sure the joke was based off the fact that the original Nuclear weapons test were faked and the famous footage of the houses getting blown apart were actually barbie brand children toy houses. Japan surrender because a wise mutant rat who learnt Ninjutsu, taught them the error of their ways. (It was covered up obviously, because you know they didn't want to seem crazy with seeing giant mutant ninja rats and all. In 1945 that sort of thing was far less socially acceptable.)

What if Clark Kent is a straight white man while Superman is a gay black man?

Personally I'd like to see Superman as Godzilla, mostly just cos seeing him try to get away with Clark Kenting and do journalism with the glasses trick make for a great film. Wouldn't even need a b plot of him fighting a villain or anything. I mean if they just make a Godzilla film where it's a journalist, I'd be fine with that as well.
