The joke here is "dodge bullet", as in "dodged a bullet". You can stop complaining now.

About this community and how I post the comics… Many moons ago, I would ask my Dad to save the newspaper for me everyday so I could read my favorite comic strips. Of course these days you can read your favorite comics online instead of a newspaper, but I love the nostalgia of reading the daily comics. Anyway, one of my favorite current comics is Cyanide and Happiness and I will be posting the daily release from their website (https://explosm.net/) and a an extra or two randoms.

The joke is that big trucks are just as frivolous as overpriced weddings, and both of these people are idiots.
And that he dodged a bullet
Ad placements in Cyanide and Happiness? Things really are going to shit aren't they
There hasn't been a truck sold under the Dodge brand in over a decade at this point.
It's a pun, not an ad. Dodged a bullet.
What is this garbage?
I'm not sure when it happened, but the author of these comics definitely pulled a Scott Addams at some point.
Probably when he got enough money to start thinking Republicans make some good points about tax rates
Interesting take to say this could even be conceived of as an ad, as that's clearly based on like a 2009 Dodge. Interesting they used Bullet though, a company called Sterling used to make a heavy frame truck called the Sterling Bullet which would have been based on that body style of Ram.
They used "bullet" because the entire comic is setting up the joke about having "dodged a bullet".
Came to Lemmy so I don't get advertising. Pretty sure infantile cartoon can be made without obvious product placement?
"Dodged a bullet". It's a brand name perfectly used to convey a joke.
Joke employed to feature product. Tomato, tomahto.
Careful, I just got down voted to shit for making the same mistake
It’s not a mistake. Creators need to be reminded product placement has zero role at Lemmy.
Wife bad
Big expensive wedding bad
(But pointless RAM truck also bad)
What's pointless about a truck? They're insanely useful and valuable!
Pointless trucks, like in 90% of the cases. We are not talking about the people who actually use it for taking stuff with it on the field. We are talking about the assholes who drive it in cities "because it looks cool" or some shit. In case you were just kidding, consider my comment null.
Yeah this comic might be the worst I've seen. Like ad placement as well, wut?
It's not an ad. The entire comic is setting up a pun around the male character feeling like he's dodged a bullet.
Its mocking overly-expensive weddings. It's mocking overly-expensive cars/trucks. It's mocking self-centred people in relationships who are oblivious to their partners' perspectives. It's mocking people who have no financial sense and see their wants as needs but are happy to dismiss their partners' wants as unimportant. It's mocking car adverts. But mostly, it's just a silly pun.
Yeah, it's a meta bad humor joke. Wife bad and inconsiderate.
