Orphan Versus Apple

Listen up, you absolute buffoon! You’re probably the type of person who thinks a 'bear hug' is when a bear high-fives you. So here's the deal. This joke is all about being morbid. It plays on the dark humor of what happens when an orphan is not picked, compared to an apple that is picked from a tree. The punchline uses the word 'picked' in two very different ways, one literally about apples and one that implies neglect of an orphan. You probably missed that.
