To the horror of the lifeboat’s other members, Madonna loses her balance and falls on her face.

For the folks not born last century, the joke is that Madonna used to wear these really pointy cone-shaped boob holders. I don’t know if that was her bra or top or what. Might have even been metal
Ah yes, late 1980s early 90s Madonna bra preference was odd. When she was on the Oprah Winfrey Show of course Oprah asked her about it, Madonna explained she liked the feeling of the bondage type bra because it felt like something that held her tight and she could BREAK out of it. She put great emphasis on the word BREAK, like the feeling of breaking out of handcuffs.
When I was a kid, I asked my mom to explain this joke to me and she just grimaced and walked away mumbling something.
I remember this as a kid, too! My mom said she wore a metal bra in a music video. We didn’t have MTV so I didn’t know who Madonna was, even. So I still had a bunch of questions that could’ve been solved with a Google search, had it existed.
I don’t think I got this joke until maybe a decade later when the Internet was a thing and I saw a picture or a meme or something.
Lara Croft would have held her balance
Um, that’s not her face she landed on…
