Two men stand in a medieval country setting.  Walking past them is a third person, a woman with a large circular object around her neck
It's unusual to see people wearing clothing of such large size around the neck
Why is that person dressed like that?
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.
