As you process this, the human worries lose all meaning as you lick your own eyeballs to moisten them, and it is time for you to eat a bug. The humor comes from the relief of escaping overwhelming modern human responsibilities to return to a simple, low-stakes lizard existence, which resonates with audiences feeling burnt out by current financial and social pressures.
