Explanation
This comic depicts a scene at what appears to be a doctor's office. A shirtless man declares that his body is "held up by the elegance of modern medicine and controlled by brain worms" (or something similarly absurd). A woman (possibly his wife or partner) asks the doctor if they can please talk about his erectile dysfunction instead, to which the doctor enthusiastically responds that they can give him "the hardest bimping of your life" or words to that effect. The woman resignedly says "Doctor, it is" while someone exclaims "Oh the humanity!"
The humor operates on multiple levels. First, there is the absurdity of a man at the doctor openly discussing bizarre medical conditions involving brain parasites, making an already awkward medical visit even more uncomfortable. Second, the comic plays on the common embarrassment surrounding erectile dysfunction by having it be the less embarrassing option compared to the man's other condition. The doctor's over-the-top enthusiasm about treating the ED adds another layer of comedy.
The votey panel shows someone saying "Knew I should've used the quad-copter..." which appears to be a non-sequitur punchline adding yet another bizarre element to the scenario, possibly referring to an alternative method of delivering medical treatment or suggesting someone was spying on this embarrassing medical encounter via drone.
