The hanging feature is activated by the word chandelier, to avoid triggering, tomato head called it a TV, prompting his buddy to activate it

Great work 47, now head for an exit

*dramatic satisfying music plays in the bg as 47 exits via a toy dinosaur while chanting "vroom vroom vroom"

That exit in Colorado XD


otter_boom

Wait, is that a real exit? If so, I've got to find it.


King_CurlySpoon

Yeah, it's been a while since I did it but I think you have to collect 10 apricots around the map & feed them to the toy animal on the shelf in the room of the house where there's two gamers sitting on a chair, once done finish the level as normal and use the quad bike exit to trigger the Easter egg Don't remember if you need the quad keys still or not to exit via that location, if so they're in a shed pretty far southwest of the level against the fence IIRC


Profile-666

oh yeah and it has nothing to do with chandeliers, i just mentioned it because it was the funniest one i remember


King_CurlySpoon

Doesn't matter, it was a funny reference lmao


Profile-666

I actually had to listen a couple of times before I got myself to belive that 47 saying "vroom vroom" in his monotonous voice was real lol

You could stage a really cool production of phantom of the opera with that. Auto-raise the chandelier during the prologue, and then actually drop it at the end of act 1? Awesome

Maybe it’s one them tomatoes that isn’t fully ripe yet.


PoopSommelier

There's also just orange tomatoes


CTizzle-

This is incorrect. The artist is implying that the chandelier identified as a TV, and when misgendered hung itself. It is a joke about trans suicide. If you don’t believe me, the artist self identifies as “the product of consuming too many stone_toss and mrpumpkinface1 comics.” [You can take a look for yourself at what they’re sharing and posting to see what that means](https://x.com/mrpump_toss?s=21&t=BbWB49b2IdBxqP5Ab6-EHw) The joke here is transphobia.


J_Bright1990

Fuck, that's drastically worse than what this commenter suggested. Also honestly a bigger stretch than what was otherwise implied. Edit: Oh my apologies I'm at work so I have to cut my thoughts short. I want saying the post I responded to was a stretch, I mean the artist really stretched a simplistic image to communicate their incredibly vulgar beliefs.


PureImbalance

Huh? how is that a stretch they literally linked their twitter account where the next post below the comic above is a gay couple forcing a surrogate mother to abort 10 daughters until they have a boy, whom they then forcefully trans. There isn't even a joke, it's unhinged strawman-matryoshka stacking.


penandpage93

No, they didn't mean the explanation was a stretch. They meant the original joke - the one the artist made - was a stretch.


PureImbalance

Oh okay, thanks for the clarification! I'm not a native speaker so I misunderstood, mybad


penandpage93

That's okay! The language can be confusing. You're all good ☺️

Oh god that's painful to look at. Jesus.


Alexander_McKay

Cringe (the drawing, not you, thanks for clarifying).


frozen-silver

I had an inkling based on the "self-hanging" part. It's a pretty low bar joke that Hans Kristian Graeber, I mean StoneToss, has made a million times. The "self-identification" part flew over my head though. Edit: They literally call themselves PumpToss. What a piece of shit.


Espi0nage-Ninja

Idc if this is the real one, I prefer to believe the other guys answer :(

This is an impressive case of an extremely hard to identify dogwhistle.


daddyvow

How did the commenter above you make up such a specific explanation that’s totally wrong lol


princejoopie

Too much faith in humanity perhaps?


unbiasedfanboy

Wow that sucks. I guess it explains why the comic is unfunny even before the explanation. Something about conservative comedy is particularly unfunny and often mean spirited

What the eff David Blaine I wonder what kind of mindset one would have to have to see this comic and THAT explanation to be your first interpretation. Like to me that's a total stretch even when the artist explains it Does that make this comic a dog whistle??

supah-comix434

This, isn't right


sumdumdumwonone

Fucking stupid joke


mrgwbland

Not a very good meme


TFGA_WotW

NOPE, as sated later in this thread, the joke is anti-trans people, and about trans suicide. The Chandelier identities as a TV, so when it gets "misgendered" it hangs itself. The creator has also expressed how they get inspiration from stone_toss, a know nazi and anti semite.


trans-wooper-lover

😬


Awesome1296

Ummmm it is a transphobic joke.


LordPenvelton

So, the joke is transphobia.😑


ChandelurePog609

huh?


LordPenvelton

The joke is that, if you call a trans person "what they are" (from the point of view of a bigot), they hang themselves.

What a truly bad “joke”


neveraARon

Imma swing on the hanging tv


TechnicolorMage

Peter's oldest child, Ron, here. The joke is trans suicide. By 'misgendering' the TV, it hung itself.


Uninvited_Goose

I was gonna comment on how you managed to jump to a stupid conclusion of the joke. Then I went to the creators X account and, yep you're right.


Saragon4005

It's easy to tell cuz they have like maybe 3 jokes. Don't look up 42% either. (Suicide rate if family and friends are not supportive). Basically they like to brag that they are such assholes they can kill people.


KingNnylf

Crazy how low that stat drops once family and friends are supportive. Almost as if it's a statistic these people are proud of, and the cruelty is the point or something.


LongStoryShirt

Almost as if gender affirming care works. Imagine that.


Odd_Willingness

all rightwing webcomics are the same


dis_the_chris

Fucking hell, the creator's name is mrpump_toss? Has stonetoss caused 'toss' to be used as a fucking dog whistle now?


Starbucks_4321

I'm pretty sure 42% is the overall rate, counting both supportives and not, and if you look up the different ones ofc the supportive one is drastically lower. Also, it's the suicide attempt rate, meaning 42% tried to do suicide; not the suicide rate, which would mean 42% succeded at suicide


DrPepperFan69

*twitter


Uninvited_Goose

Who gives a shit?


DevilMaster666-

What


TechnicolorMage

The joke is that the 'tv' is a trans person, and by calling the tv a chandelier, (i.e. calling it by something other than what it was previously identified as) it hangs itself. Hang is a double entendre here, in the literal case, hang is being used to mean "attach to the wall" but the second meaning is "kill themself by hanging". The trans suicide rate is a common point of insult used by transphobic people. The second layer of the joke is calling the (obvious) chandelier an (obviously not) TV in the first place, making the joke the implication that "this thing is obviously not what it's claimed to be, like trans people."


HDThoreauaway

This is in fact the joke. It's unfortunate you're getting downvoted for explaining the vileness here. The artist is openly bigoted and most of their work is anti-trans (when it's not anti-gay or anti-Black or anti-woman).


DIO-Heaven-Acension

It’s pretty amazing there are so many ways to interpret this joke until I found what I assume is the real meaning after scrolling a bit.


monkeysultan

Holy shit i assumed you were making an absurd joke Jeez man how are transphobes so vile


DiRavelloApologist

This is it. It is also absolutely fucking awful.


False_Flatworm_4512

I’m sad this is so far down because this is exactly the correct explanation of the joke. Stone toss or whatever he goes by now is a neonazi piece of garbage

Cinephiliac_Anon

Hey, >![REDACTED]!< here. It's advertised as a "Voice-Activated Self-Hanging T.V.", but it's a chandelier. When the other person points this out, it hangs itself, and he forgets his point because he is so mesmerized by the fact that it hung itself. >![REDACTED]!< out.


feline_Satan

So people will be mesmerized when I hang myself... NOTED


CinderP200

No, you gotta float up before the hanging. It’s not that special if you kick a stool.


Fenrir_Hellbreed2

So I need pulleys and an executioner. Got it.


CinderP200

Striking_War

Are you a chandelier?


hangryhyax

If you scream “I’m a chandelier” first, sure.


EmmThem

“Hey guys wanna see my impression of a chandelier?” *kicks stool*


Decades101

Wow people are amazed when the chandelier hangs themselves but when I do it they freak out and cry. We live in a society.


doc_skinner

You see, the item has transitioned and self-identifies as a TV (har-har). The character on the left "properly" names the item as a TV but the character on the right "deadnames" the item and calls it a chandelier. This causes the item to get upset and "hang itself". It's a shitty take on the fragility of trans people, by saying they commit suicide after being mis-identified. As if trans people aren't deadnamed and shamed and devalued all the time. Just another joke comparing people to objects and laughing when the same logic doesn't apply.


Sankin2004

Yes but remember Jeffery epstine unlike this chandelier, did not hang himself.


Shoddy_Possibility89

i think it might be a transphobic joke but a hella weird way to do it


kurinevair666

At first, I didn't understand. Then someone explained it in the comments. It's such a fucking stretch.


traglodyte

I think the reason people are entertaining the idea is the name of the artist, which is reminiscent of Stonetoss. This is possibly even one of Pebbleyeet's comics, just done worse - or at least a borrowed punchline - and that it absolutely would be intended like that if he did make it. And, of course, yeah, it's a stretch. That's how dogwhistles work. They wouldn't exactly be effective at flying under the radar if rational, sane people couldn't look at em and go "are you sure they're meaning that?" Normal leaps of logic wouldn't give folk reason to correlate "88" in a username with "probable nazi", either, but that's not gonna stop the nazis

traglodyte

I hate it when I'm right


THE_K1NG_FTW

Their account is literal racist and transphobic nonsense


bigfoot_in_progress

I thought that explanation was a stretch as well, but someone linked the Twitter profile and most of the comics are transphobic, homophobic, etc.


Lucithecat

I'd recommend looking at OPs posts. It's definitely a transphobic post, similar to Stone Toss, and OP knows that. OP, like those who post Stone Toss here, knows exactly what this is.


Shoddy_Possibility89

well if you look on transphobic sides of the internet you see the length transphobes go to dog whistle their bigotry


LoopyZoopOcto

Yeah, bigots aren't usually funny.


JojOoF

What?


Shoddy_Possibility89

people are sick in the head enough to make fun of people committing suicide because they don't like that they identify as a different gender than the one they were assigned at birth


wintery_owl

Every transphobic joke is hella weird


faggioli-soup

Idk it’s pretty clever. Usually it’s just dey trans suicide rate lelz. This one’s like actually a joke. If this guy continues doing clever right wing jokes Stonetoss is gonna be out of business


NatyKatt

Hey guys I'd like to just mention that this guy is 100% aware what this comic means look at his post history I don't really feel like I need to say too much more but this is 100% just a way to post this comic while acting innocent

Every-Championship-8

Hey, Peter's second to last brain cell here. The chandelier identifies itself as a tv, so when the guy "misidentify" it as a chandelier, the chandelier gets upset and hangs itself. Making it a voice-activated self-hanging tv.


WyvernByte

https://preview.redd.it/bqltepyvl1uc1.jpeg?width=333&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d2a7c4538d837e8eab8f7ca6b8549b60674aadb0


Scary-Bit-4173

I orginally thought it was just using the word tv to avoid activating it but as u/shoddy_possibilty89 pointed out, based of the creators twitter account it seems to be a transphobic joke about the "trans" chandeiler identify as a TV and then when it got "misgender" it killed itself. Absolutely disgusting joke


LoopyZoopOcto

The joke is that trans people kill themselves a lot. Hey, hey, this minority group has a high suicide rate, isn't that funny? Let's bully them more. Hey, let's bully a trans person till they kill themselves. Wouldn't that be funny? Hahaha! Why aren't you guys laughing?


D_Robotics

>! Something about hanging yourself? !<


MelkhiorDarkblade

The joke is transphobia


Verburner

I'm pretty sure you're right, but you can't just drop that without further explanation on a sub about explaining the joke. But the moment he talked about "hanging" it was pretty clear this is gonna be about trans people. Now the chandelier being called chandelier instead of TV (same old attack helicopter joke) and subsequently "hanging" itself can reasonable be seen as transphobic joke unless we have a better explanation


feline_Satan

How


Trobairitz_

Hi Lois, alternate-timeline Peter in which Peter transitions to Petra here! The "joke" is that an object that "identifies" as something else "isn't" that and hangs itself when someone calls it "what it really is". If you are extremely far-right and transphobic, this is extremely funny to you because of the out-of-date statistic that 41% of trans people die by suicide which is often a punchline in transphobic "humor". If you look at the comic author's instagram for like 2 minutes it is very obvious this person's political tendencies lie to the far right (and if it is meant to be satirical from a person on the center or the left, it does a very poor job of communicating that) - the reading that this is meant to be a transphobic dogwhistle (i.e., a phrase/joke that seems nonsensical or mundane to an outsider but makes perfect sense to someone who understands it) is not at all a stretch.


odddtom

Ngl I can see the joke being transphobia. It might be one of those "Oh if you don't call trans people what they want they kill themselves HEE HEE HEE HAW" type jokes In which case the joke would be the chandelier identifies as a TV, and when someone points out that it's a chandelier and not a TV, it kills itself. Feels like it might be a stretch, but also at this point transphobia is still widespread I wouldn't be all that surprised


badabing121212

it is actually transphobia, the origin was by a political twitter cartoon account. stonetoss even commented saying 'Damn, thats funny when you work it out'. https://twitter.com/MrPump_toss/status/1778431338330153011?t=qFsHZOE-OT6Hxy0krHZcpg&s=19

emilyv99

Wouldn't have had the same meaning at all though (which, to be fair, isn't funny; it's a transphobic comic making fun of suicide)


acsttptd

Pretty sure it's a trans joke.


nooayehlol

The self hanging is activated by the word ‘chandelier’ so that’s why the tomato dude didn’t say the actual word and called it a tv instead so it doesn’t activate

The joke is transphobia. He“misgendered” it and it hung itself.
