This is in England during the Victorian Era. Two men are staring at a woman. The woman has a huge collar around her neck.
The woman's collar is huge. It covers half her face and is not supposed to be like that.
Why is the collar so exaggerated on the woman?
It deployed when her carriage rear-ended an ox cart.

The woman's oversized ruff collar is juxtaposed against the modern invention of an air bag. Air bags deploy during car crashes --- and here, the collar inflated during a collision between a carriage she was riding in and an ox cart as a safety mechanism. It's funny in part because, while it explains the oversized collar, collars are cosmetic rather than functional.
