Beard is also the term for the woman you marry to avoid being known as a couch fucker
Ya, that’s the second layer.
First - Vance is obviously (apparently) trading his wife out for Kirk's widow
Second - "trading for a younger model" is classic shitty midlife crisis behavior
Third - he's trading an Indian wife for a white widow in an effort to increase his political clout
Fourth - the beard thing
There's interplays between the layers too. It's a really well crafted joke, you can keep splitting the layers in multiple ways, this joke isn't an onion, it's a carefully crafted pastry
The KKK thing too
Those are more ‘points’ than jokes.
Some might call them the layers of the joke
Right, but a lot of those aren't layers of the joke, they're just unrelated aspects of the joke. It's funny, but layer 1 = beards getting grey as they get older, layer 2 = he's gay and his beard is more white now. All the other things you mentioned are just additional strands of spaghetti sticking to the wall.
This has big:
"[mediocre post].
Let that sink in."
energy.
Yeah, because when you explain the joke it's not funny... It's how jokes work
I tried to preserve whatever humor is left to be had, not actually be funny. The joke was far funnier than it could ever be deconstructed as
