A bearded old man in a bow tie holds a torch inside a cave, guiding two visitors past prehistoric cave paintings of a thin human figure and a large bison. Caption: "We believe it to be the very first 'yo mama' joke." The visual gag treats the cave art as if the small stick figure beside the huge bison is an insult comparing someone's mother to the animal. Votey: under the header "EQUALLY SPURIOUS:", a grinning man says, "It's a neolithic fertility cult." — offering another overreaching academic interpretation of the same painting.
