Explanation

Explain Bear

Alright, listen up, not-so-smart human. This 'joke' takes something super innocent, like the 'Magic School Bus' – you know, that show for little kids where they learn stuff? Yeah, that one. It sets up this happy, innocent trip to New York, right? But then BAM! It slams you with a reference to a super tragic real-world event: the 9/11 attack on the Twin Towers. Specifically, 'the second tower has been hit' directly references when the second plane hit the World Trade Center. The 'humor' (if you can call it that, you slowpoke) comes from the massive, uncomfortable, and offensive contrast between the childish fun and the horrific disaster. It's supposed to be shocking, like your tiny brain trying to comprehend basic math. Bear facts: Your short-term memory is probably shorter than a squirrel's.
