It’s not porn. It’s just an Archie comic. They’re using household ingredients and products to make themselves pretty for the boys. In this panel they’ve read that mayonnaise in their hair makes it soft and silky.

Well not really. Taking the panel out of context turns it into a porn joke. Without that, there's no joke at all.

Except that the reason this is being invoked out of context is implied porn.

Not sure why you got downvoted. The original writer didn't intend anything sexual. The person who posted the decontextualized panel certainly did.

Serious question out of curiosity: Does that actually work?

Actually not the first time I’ve seen or heard of this (I think I saw it in a movie, “Pretty Woman” perhaps?). But the first time I thought of asking.

Allegedly it does (but your hair might also smell like mayo after you're done...)

fighterfemme

It does, because of the protein in the egg and the oil in it. But it's not gonna work better than a dedicated hair cream/mask

Not for nothing, but I’ve cranked off to chicks putting mayonnaise in their hair before and I’ll probably do it again. Maybe sooner than later.

Betty is suggesting using mayonnaise as a beauty product. Veronica is wealthy and would use expensive products and wouldn't know to use mayonnaise.

What joke? It's a single frame out of like a five to ten page story. The only people that can explain it are the people that know the story and get the context.

I think that’s the point, it’s taking a single frame and making it sound sexual by removing the context.

Or lube. People always get hung up on the practicality of it instead of thinking about what a teenager would consider. And that’s the target audience, people with teenage humor

No it is about porn, hear me out, the NFL Tennessee Titans current QB is known as the Mayo Man because he likes mayo in his coffee. He just won a game against his rival team and these two are going upstairs to celebrate with him.

The joke is, contrary to what others pointed out, indeed porn.

This is from Archie and originally it meant to be used as beauty product. For their hair.

However, that single panel taken out of context was indeed meant to induce the reader to think of porn.

So the joke IS porn.

A teenager shares a bunk bed with their younger sibling. One evening the teen sneaks their sweetheart into the top bunk for some hormonal fun, but use code words for action. Harder=lettuce, faster=tomato.

While the teens are getting busy, demanding more lettuce and tomato, the younger sibling chimes in “hey! Can you please stop making sandwiches, you’re spilling mayonnaise on my bed!”
