A blonde mother sits in a chair beside her child's bed in a dark bedroom, reassuring the child: "Sweetie, please try to sleep. There's no man in your closet. See, there's the corpse of the guy who WAS there. But now he's dead, so you can relax." The horror of the reassurance is the joke. Votey: a smiling close-up of the mother adds, "Here, I'll put in an air freshener!" — cheerfully offering to mask the smell of the corpse.
