So this is sheet music for trombone, you can tell by the slide position suggestions above certain notes. I assume they expect the player to have an F attachment, because 0 position is F, however the note is G, so they would need to press down the trigger to hit it (I think , it's been a moment since I've played a horn with an F attachment). Some of those symbols I'm not as familiar with.
Maybe the joke is they play the trombone, which intrinsically is a joke of an instrument.
It looks similar to a fragment of a minuet from Brahms. I recognized it from an elementary study book of mine (Suzuki vol. 2 for violin). It gave me nostalgia and I had to find it...
So, because it's in an elementary study book (assuming it is easy for trombone as well), maybe the joke is that when practicing alone you go for easy things that you like instead of what you should be practicing.
Whole piece for reference:
That is it, but my joke is only about the face in the middle of the picture.
in the middle? Can you point it out? I don't see it
