A man sits on a stool in a doctor's office and he looks frightened. A man wearing a doctor's coat is walking into the room holding a gigantic syringe and seems to be excited.
One of the common activities in a doctor's office is receiving a shot, but they are functionally small needles that can be operated with one hand so seeing such a large needle/syringe that needs two hands just to hold is unusual.
Why is the needle/syringe so large?
You will feel a thing.

Doctors often assure patience before injections that they won't feel a thing: this calms people with a fear of needles. But here, the phrase is turned on its head: because the needle is ominously large, the doctor humorously assures the patient that they will indeed experience pain. This is funny because it's a more honest commentary on the pain associated with shots, where patients often feel it even if the doctor says they won't.
