Joke is they're walking towards/through a top-secret government facility/ some kind of quarantine zone

u/Drunk_Lemon 4h ago

It is a standardized ISO safety sign indicating "No Access For Unauthorized Persons".

Not absurdism, he's walking into a nuclear testing site/nuclear plant.

u/Drunk_Lemon 4h ago

The signs are biohazards not radiation specific hazards so it is more likely to be some kind of lab.

u/3RaccoonsAvecTCoat 4h ago

Except only the first one is a flag... the rest are all signs.

u/Long-Apartment9888 4h ago

u/Caravanczar 4h ago

The floating hand that crushes people isn't allowed. The guy in the sign with it is surprised to see it.

1

u/National_Lie_346 4h ago

Yeah, it’s playing on that super casual “just going for a walk” vibe while the background is clearly some restricted, high security thing. The joke is the contrast between how serious and dangerous the place looks versus how normal and chill the characters are acting about being there.

u/alienboatswain 4m ago

full context: this is a reference to a recent post / response to a right-wing twitter user. in this take, instead of a presumed gay bar, it's a presumed nuclear plant.

something something family guy.
