It’s absolutely stupid that we live without an ozone layer. We have men, we’ve got rockets, we’ve got saran wrap - fix it!

In this line, Black uses his trademark mock-logic and escalating absurdity to satirize technological bravado and political inertia. By listing “men,” “rockets,” and “saran wrap,” he compresses a whole cultural attitude—confidence in engineering solutions—into a punchline, then turns it against society: if we can do impressive (and trivial) things, why can’t we address an existential environmental problem? The humor comes from the deliberately simplistic “fix it!” which mimics the public’s desire for easy answers while also condemning leaders who treat long-term ecological threats as optional. The joke’s bite depends on the real-world stakes of ozone depletion and the mismatch between capability and will.
