Explanation
This comic presents a "pro-tip" at the top: "You can make anyone feel inferior by refusing to eat something they just ate." The scene shows two men, one of whom is eating a banana. The other reacts with exaggerated disgust, asking "You eat the MIDDLE of the banana?" as though this is some kind of faux pas. When the banana-eater tries to respond, the critic doubles down: "You eat banana COBS?"
The joke works on multiple levels. First, there is no meaningful way to eat a banana other than eating the middle -- that is the entire edible part. The critic's objection is completely nonsensical, which is exactly the point of the pro-tip: the power move does not need to be logical, it just needs to be delivered with enough confidence. Second, the term "banana cobs" is an invented absurdity. Bananas do not have cobs (corn does), but by naming the middle of the banana as if it were a distinct and undesirable part, the critic creates a false framework where the other person has committed some social error. The comic satirizes how food snobbery and social one-upmanship often rely on arbitrary distinctions delivered with unearned authority.
