    Once “artificial gravity” was mentioned, I immediately placed this scene in a science fiction setting and I couldn’t see what the joke was. The joke was that it’s not a science fiction setting. It needs more clues to clarify that swap.

        What you’ll find is that rug will suddenly be pulled from under you and you’ll realize the assumption you made was erroneous.

        Joke’s on you if I’m too dense for you to pull the rug out from under me.

        But seriously, saying “cruise line” did not do enough to contradict the SF frame for me. Should have been something like “passenger ferry boat company”, out something.
