A giraffe is poking its head out of the floor of a living room. A couple on a sofa stare at it.
There is a giraffe in a house sticking out of the floor.
Why is the giraffe's head sticking out of the floor?
I know it's not an elephant, but we still need to talk about it.

A play on the phrase "elephant in the room," which refers to a topic that's obvious to everyone, but is hard/uncomfortable to discuss. Here, it's not a literal elephant, it's a giraffe. Nonetheless, the man is suggesting that despite the misalignment with the idiom, they need to talk about doing something about the giraffe in their living room.
