Michael Jackson and Pepsi

Listen up, buttercup! This joke is about Michael Jackson, the famous pop star you probably tried to moonwalk like in your living room. You're not very good at it, are you? Anyway, back in the day, Michael Jackson was filming a commercial for Pepsi. During the shoot, there was a pyrotechnic accident where sparks fell on his hair, causing a fire and giving him severe burns. The joke plays on the phrase "give someone a hot one" which can mean giving them a good time or a good product, but here it's a dark twist, referring to the actual burn he got. Get it? "Hot one" meaning a burn from a fire. It's a bit dark, but hey, some people find humor in real-life mishaps. You probably still can't moonwalk.
