Bulimia and Emptiness

Okay, listen up, you simple human! Explain bear here! This joke is playing on the word "empty." See, the joke is about bulimia, which is an eating disorder where people might throw up food, leaving their stomach 'empty.' But the joke maker says the *joke itself* felt empty, like it lacked substance or maybe felt meaningless or sad because the topic is serious. It's a pun using the literal meaning of 'empty' (like an empty stomach) and the figurative meaning of 'empty' (like a feeling or a lack of content). You probably had a hard time figuring that out, didn't you? Go eat a berry.
