The stuffed tiger with the brain bite? *chef's kiss*
Cute! XD
Why is this funny?
Different people think different things are funny
It's funny because you don't expect kids to want there to be monsters under their beds. Typically, or rather trope-ically, children ask their parents to make sure there are no monsters under their beds and at first it would appear the same is true here. However, the child and parent themselves appear ghoulish, and when it's revealed that there is in fact a monster under the bed, ostensibly the father as it is similarly ghoulish and tells a pretty decent double-layer dad joke, the child is relieved. It's irony! And puns. And just good Halloween vibes, which I admit aren't inherently humorous. But I'd argue they are almost always inherently light-hearted. I give it 9/10, especially compared to a lot of the shit I see posted around here.
What's the pun?
Dead/dad
Edit: "good-bite" is a pun too
I got the good bite one. I guess the second one also explains what "hung-ee" was supposed to mean :D
Oh. Oooh. It's "honey, I'm dead"
That's how I readnit the first time. Now I'm thinking it's "hi hungry, I'm dad"
Same reason most things are funny, or at least mildly amusing: inversion of expectations.
It isn't.
I'm getting down voted to hell for saying that in a reply below. People are weird.
I like how they setup a little lamp for the underbed fellow
It's called a flashlight, or a "torch" in more primitive parts of the world...jk UK, love you crazy kooks.
Flashlight is pretty dumb too, when you break it down. I’m going with Lamp-O-Tron.
Oh for sure, they don't even flash unless you have one with the emergency mode.
