Oh...I still don't get what the joke is, though. Could've atleast tried Bud Collyer. Then again it WAS 1978...

Ever hear of a webcomic by the name of
The Perry Bible Fellowship? It's drawn by Nicholas Gurewitch. Beautifully drawn --kind of a multi-panel Far Side in a way-- but there's a group of readers out there who have a really, really bad habit of trying to read too much into the jokes.
The point is, in this post-modern world, there are still jokes out there that stare you right in the face. In this case, the contestants are physically beating up the clock.
Of course the joke sucks.
(Besides, the real question we should be asking on that one was why did they draw Meatloaf wearing high-heel shoes?)
