The joke here is “dodge bullet”, as in “dodged a bullet”. You can stop complaining now.
ITT: everyone missing the joke and whining about ad placement.
Good call. Big expensive weddings are silly.
Big expensive trucks are also silly.
But they’re at least potentially useful.

The joke is that big trucks are just as frivolous as overpriced weddings, and both of these people are idiots.
And that he dodged a bullet

What is this garbage?
I’m not sure when it happened, but the author of these comics definitely pulled a Scott Addams at some point.
Probably when he got enough money to start thinking Republicans make some good points about tax rates
Nah, Scott Adams is a hateful bigot. He thinks black people are a “hate group” - he truly went off the rails.
I don’t really think this comic reflects its author’s personal views at all. C&H has always been filled with shock comedy, black comedy, deliberate insensitivity, and silly puns, and everything is a target. This one doesn’t really stand out as any different to how the comic’s always been.
I don’t really feel like there’s ever really been a right-wing slant to these comics either. And I say that as someone who’s ardently left-wing.
Classic case of the media not changing but the humor of the viewer did.
Interesting take to say this could even be conceived of as an ad, as that’s clearly based on like a 2009 Dodge. Interesting they used Bullet though, a company called Sterling used to make a heavy frame truck called the Sterling Bullet which would have been based on that body style of Ram.
They used “bullet” because the entire comic is setting up the joke about having “dodged a bullet”.
Wife bad
Yeah this comic might be the worst I’ve seen. Like ad placement as well, wut?
It’s not an ad. The entire comic is setting up a pun around the male character feeling like he’s dodged a bullet.
Its mocking overly-expensive weddings. It’s mocking overly-expensive cars/trucks. It’s mocking self-centred people in relationships who are oblivious to their partners’ perspectives. It’s mocking people who have no financial sense and see their wants as needs but are happy to dismiss their partners’ wants as unimportant. It’s mocking car adverts. But mostly, it’s just a silly pun.
Yeah, it’s a meta bad humor joke. Wife bad and inconsiderate.
Came to Lemmy so I don’t get advertising. Pretty sure infantile cartoon can be made without obvious product placement?
“Dodged a bullet”. It’s a brand name perfectly used to convey a joke.
Joke employed to feature product. Tomato, tomahto.
Careful, I just got down voted to shit for making the same mistake
It’s not a mistake. Creators need to be reminded product placement has zero role at Lemmy.
