      Like jesus, I’m undecided if this is supposed to be a corporal punishment joke or a sexual abuse joke. The punchline doesn’t even land; why would breaking a lamp necessitate a dental exam?

        The joke is literally just “everyone hates dentist appointments, therefore a dentist could use it as punishment for his son”. I really don’t think the overtones were meant to go deeper than that.
