An orange caption banner reads: "When confronting your husband about his body image problem, choose your phrasing carefully." Below, a woman sits on a couch and says to a glum-looking man in the foreground, "Steve... let's talk about the elephant in the room." The joke is that her tactful opener lands as a fat insult. In the votey aftercomic, a close-up of the woman scrambling to explain, defensive: "No! It's a metaphor for a big problem! A big jiggly tub of problem!" — making it far worse.
