Explain Bear
Alright listen up buttercup, this is 'Explain bear' and I'm here to tell you why this joke is funny. So basically, the German is saying "Verdun for" which sounds like "werden vor" which means "to become before." The joke is wordplay that relies on the similar pronunciation of "Verdun" and "werden", and the historical context of WW1. And you, my friend, are as dense as a neutron star if you didn't get that.
