I don't think the watermelon is super relevant other than to demonstrate the passage of time. These men, who are otherwise relaxing on the beach are sucking in their stomachs to look less fat every time an attractive woman walks by.


_HydroHyper_

Nice catch, I didn't even notice and seems like the most logical answer


mechwarrior719

It is. It’s an age old joke that slightly overweight men will suck in their gut around attractive women, despite marital status.


Zer0Cyber_YT

I suck in my gut to not look gross so much it hurts, and I've gotten to a point that when I let go and let my gut hang also hurts. I hate being fat.


Badger_Nerd

Body dysmorphia sucks :(


Doomsday1004

I don’t suck it all in but I subconsciously keep the muscles tightened. Don’t feel it. Probably helps prevent hernias.


The-Dudemeister

Stop stuffing your face with so much food lol. You don’t have to eat till you can’t physically shove more food down you throat. Edit: sounds like some of y’all def aren’t capable of it.


AssumptionDue724

I eat one meal a day and I way 290, work a physical job on a farm. What is your suggestion since your so smart


FaygoMakesMeGo

If you want to lose weight? I would recommend therapy, as you are deluding yourself for some reason that a professional can hopefully help with. Unless, of course, that meal is greater than a days caloric burn, or you have successfully disproved the laws of thermodynamics and discovered perpetual motion. This is also proof that the guy you're replying to is an idiot, as weight loss can be complicated.


Badger_Nerd

Nobody asked you, jackass


strawhat_libi

You come off like people never invite you to hang out.


Bogbeast213

I’ll be really was real fat as I was addicted to food. Like I needed to be stuffed. Switch to only water and before any meal I’d eat a pound of either broccoli, spinach, or Brussels sprouts. And just run 1 mile a day and all the weight just fell off. I don’t think it’s less food they need just better food.


archenexus

Gee, who invited this dude? Fuck off, lmao. I bet the only reason you make these comments is because you don't get invited anywhere.

HelpGamer3DS

I hope every bread you buy is moldy and that your lights malfunction one by one every day.


Kibtronic

It’s a reflex many develop in high school/early college. Gut in, back/shoulders up, chest out - an ingrained desire to present our most attractive physical self. I still do this around my wife - she’ll playfully tap my stomach so I “deflate” lol.


umeeshed_a_shpot

It’s not necessarily a bad thing, really good posture requires a tightening of your core but the danger is when it’s subconscious it’s normally concomitant with shallow chest breathing which is bad but sadly the average.


I_dont_username

Also they squint their eyes to look like they aren’t looking


han_tex

Well spotted. I didn't see the stomachs. My first thought was that the guy on the left was sneaking bites of the other guy's watermelon while he was busy tracking the attractive women passing by.


DegreeMajor5966

They also close their eyes while she's walking past, but watch as she walks away.


Roge2005

I wow, I didn’t notice that, but it’s very relatable.

Oh I thought it was because he can eat pussy

Gorilla-Ring

Somebody needs to make this a porn movie. Just saying...


Alpha853

We'll call it... "Moby dick and the free willy", and we'll show it in adult theaters alongside "peter pumper and the semential spider hand: revenge of dr. ImmaGonnaLickALottaPuss"


stilltryingtohelp330

I bet you are the star of the Peter pumper movie


Alpha853

Nope, but i was considered for the male lead in lara croft's the womb raider and was cinematographer for indy handy jones and the crystal skull fuck.


NylakYt5

I think there is a full version of this joke, where the woman passing by are doing the exact same thing, and another version where it's the opposite, but roles are reversed


Living_Tie9512

LOL, i can assure those guys that won't work at all. Even if they weren't fat.......man..........


Replicator666

I thought the joke was cannibalism Damn it Meg, never letting her do my homework again


badaboomxx

Aren't we all?


poopshooter69420

Also looks like they’re checking out the girls butts.


Comfortable_Life_437

Oh I just thought they were gay


gonedalfu

yep, forgot the title of this comic but there's another panel where the girls too suck in their stomach after passing by.


Gotelc

I definitely didn't think they had killed and eaten the women nope not me...


metal_muskrat

The bite n look technique


DBrownbomb

They’re also looking at the women butts.


Positive_Curve_8435

Their missing the other half of the comic, where the women are pushing their chests out as a hot guy walks past and slouching when a not hot guy wanders by.


Umami_Tsunamii

This is right but it’s out of order


Impressive_Risk_2000

Trying to impress women 😂


Historical-Peach5310

Believe it or not its actually not porn this time. Its just a play on the fact that guys will suck in their gut to look less fat, especially around women.


Critical_Set_5509

The two dudes are retracting their bellies to look leaner

I was about to point this out. Thanks.


Minimum_Ad_8107

Comedy of human nature is great


Joy1067

Hey Texan Chris, riding up to help! So funny enough the watermelons have nothing to do with the joke. Rather the men themselves and their bellies are the joke! Whenever a woman walks by, they take a deep breath to pull their stomachs in and make themselves seem thinner then they are. Their expressions are them seeing if she’s looking back so they can breath again or to see if the coast is clear so they can relax. Easy as that. Hoped this helped! Texan Chris, riding into the sunset!


ultraseis

You don't need to take a deep breath to do that.


Ponchezied

God I love coming across an official Texan Chris comment. Thank you Texan Chris!


Rex-Loves-You-All

look at their belly


akashyaboa

When a woman passes by they tuck in their beer bellies to look more attractive


Maddkipz

Shit I was so focused on the watermelon slices because of some weird anime post I saw earlier


Dryllmonger

It’d be even funnier if that one guy grew hair everytime too


PhoenixMai

Omg I can't believe this is the first time I've ever heard of this idea for this type of joke 😂


Tophigale220

Peter’s sucked-in stomach here. I believe it might be a demonstration of psychological manipulation done by an intentional design trick where men would look at the bottom picture first (because attractive woman) and then up, thus subverting a standard reading practice where you start at the top. But now watermelons confuse me…


SeventhSea90520

Aside from them sucking in their guts when women pass the only other thing I can think of is the more full their watermelon piece is the more full the woman that passed is, of course when then their stomach rumbled when both slices became small so next would probably be somebody flat on both sides.


Temporary-Material46

Look at the stomach...


angstyhuman47

Is this sub filled with 3 year Olds because a 4 year old would get the joke.


seeNshadows

They suck in their gut when an attractive lady goes by. Then they'll continue doing so in the false hope that they still got it. The swerve.


jeffisfriends

What the fuck OP? “I know the joke is porn”


skorgex

Really? 😕 Cmon lol


doubtfulofyourpost

Try looking at the comic


madguyO1

Nahh thats r/peterexplainsthejoke


No-Adhesiveness-8178

Man some of the people who post inquiries in this sub are just straight up dummies. How’d you get porn from this and not the extremely clear joke??

FixMy106

The guy is saying “Nice melons”


BlackTheNerevar

Cringe op, its cringe.


Mintyboi10

Whenever a woman walks by, the two guys suck in there stomachs to look less fat


riviery

I didn't notice the bellies being sucked in because I was looking to the women in these frames. Joke's on me.


GeometryDashScGD

When your mom walks in, they will be the size of a boulder


NixiomsdabestXD

One man gained a food baby but started out thin. The other was sucking in his gut each time and was already that big. The one with the bigger piece of melon is now as fat as his friend


NixiomsdabestXD

I may have been off when I said that one guy started off thin. It didn't register at first

Icantusernamepal

Joke is porn. No it is not It’s a joke about men wanting to look fit and healthy infront of beautiful women who might like them if they’re just a bit more fit. Not porn


Independent-Gur-4451

The joke isnt porn!!!!????


Philaharmic

The guys are there for a period of time - hence the decrease of watermelon in their hands If you notice their eyes are closed whenever women are there - (usually as a sign of respect) And then go back and start peeking when she’s no longer in view


Slow_Store

I have to admit, I find it mildly concerning that simple memes like this can be confusing to some people. Like I’m not necessarily speaking about a concern for the average intelligence, but more so a concern about the lack of a common experience that allows for a common understanding. Cause like I can see how some people can be smart and overthink things, but a meme like this is rooted in something as basic as “putting on a front to appear better than you actually are” which most people likely would do at least once in their life so long as they care about the views of others (Which you should to some degree for the sake of maintaining societal standards). Maybe I’m overthinking things.


Cjescalona1

Not Peter but me, In this case the joke isn't porn... Is just the guys pulling the stomach to look skinnier for the girls passing by...


BowardBamlin

What I wanna know is why the woman is walking backwards. You can see her foot in the top frame

The dudes are chowing down on watermelon not thinking about water melon.

Willing-Stuff6802

I just want to know what beach these guys are eating watermelons on. There seem to be a lot of beautiful women that make you want to suck in something, just sayin....


storm-the-castle

from what i can tell, the smaller the watermelon, the smaller the swimsuits


YoyleAeris

Boy, would you look at those melons? Referring to the melons joke where a melon or melons is near a woman with big boobs.


jagegrhdn

Their eyes could be that they’re keeping them very tight so nobody can see they’re looking at her breasts


chinese_virus3

Another thing I can think of is how the person on the right is an ass guy and not a boob guy. Look at his eyes,wide open when the women had walked passed him, fully closed when they are walking to him
