Not sure I understand.

You're not alone.

[-] Frozengyro@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

Exactly!

I'm pretty sure the joke is just that "[Something] Hooters" is a meme right now among Zoomers. Like the joke is that there would even be Hooters for specific categories, and then within that that the joke of this comic is that one of those categories might be for something supernatural.

[-] LowtierComputer@lemmy.world 6 points 7 months ago

Ok. I don't understand, but cool. Thanks!

[-] Capitao_Duarte@lemmy.eco.br 30 points 7 months ago

I don't really get the joke. Can someone help?

[-] agent_flounder@lemmy.world 5 points 7 months ago

Apparently not.

I got nothin

[-] WeirdGoesPro@lemmy.dbzer0.com 13 points 7 months ago

Shoulda been “Boo-ters”.

[-] toxicbubble@lemmy.world 7 points 7 months ago

self explanatory. ethereal is something too beautiful to exist. Hooters is a restaurant with scantily dressed waitresses. that's the joke

[-] FalseMyrmidon@kbin.run 50 points 7 months ago

Oh, so it's just not funny

[-] Leviathan@lemmy.world 4 points 7 months ago

Oh! Maybe they're saying that the idea of hooters is great (who doesn't like boobs?), but the reality is depressing as fuck.

[-] ours@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

Fun fact: Hooters briefly operated their own airline.

Nowadays you can even fly topless if you fly Boeing.

What about the import part? How are the wings?

Lotsa butt-hurt misogynists itt. "Oh, I don't get it!" "It's not funny!" Yes it is. It's about you. That's why you don't get it.

[-] Leviathan@lemmy.world 16 points 7 months ago

I've never been to Hooters and I certainly am not a misogynist. I really just don't get the joke and would love it if someone actually explained it.

[-] chetradley@lemmy.world 4 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

Best I can come up with is that it's playing on the idea that people only visit Hooters because of the scantily clad servers. In this scenario, since there's literally just apparitions serving the food, the humor comes from the absurd notion of people fervently enjoying Hooters independent of the physical attractiveness of the staff. But I've also never been to Hooters so who knows? Could be just a dadaist shit post. What do you think, @RainfallSonata@lemmy.world, did I get it right or am I also sexist?

[-] rickyrigatoni@lemm.ee 13 points 7 months ago

Please touch grass.

[-] nickwitha_k@lemmy.sdf.org 11 points 7 months ago

I think there are a fair amount of non-misogynists that also didn't get it. Hooters is just awful on so many levels, from the misogynistic expectations of the waitstaff to the greasy, terrible food.
