I think this just highlights that the setup (panel 1) had a fair amount of humor potential, which the second panel wasted on a not-joke.
How? The product name wasn't really the joke.
Yeah, but the product name
could have been a joke, and the ad could have featured a bunch of extremely technical specifications that no one would understand, maybe it could have had a space for the megapixels on the product's camera and then refused to give them, because megapixels don't actually determine the camera's quality, etc. I dunno, I'm not a comic writer. I just feel like Zach could have done much more with the premise.
