Explain This Simpsons Joke

[cbrunny]

Why funny?

Airport Guy: I am so terribly sorry, sir. It appears that your tiger has been sent to St. Louis.
Tiger guy 1: Mm-hmm. I should send you to St. Louis!
Tiger guy 2: No! No, he's not worth it.
Airport Guy: Can you please indicate your tiger type on this chart?
Both Tiger Guys: Mmm, number 6.

Seigfried and Roy

 

[shortylickens]

its not funny.

But the reason they want you to think its funny is because Siegfried and Roy are entertainers who always use a white tiger in their act.
And the two guys in the scene are spoofs of Siegfried and Roy.

Explain the Simpsons, a total wast of time to view IMHO

When you lose your luggage this is what you go through. They are just playing it off that as a tiger instead. Like they often misplace tigers so often that they have a chart for different tigers.

The world is very simple really. There are those who get The Simpsons and those who don't.

It probably makes sense in context.

This is the closest thing to an explanation I've heard so far. This is most likely it, because they got off a plane from India. And actually is funny. HA!

Thank you for using the proper spelling of "lose". It is a rare thing in today's world.
