raising the dumb hand up
I don't get it :(
It's an anti-joke. Instead of doing a typical setup-payoff, the setup is that it uses the format of a joke, but then subverts the expectation by then having the "characters" make the most basic observations/actions.
I think it's implied that the other muffin screams cause it's surprised by a talking muffin.
The full joke adds that the other muffin says "a talking muffin" after the scream,but I kinda like this version better because it's an antijoke this way.
