Why it worked
The humor comes from the unexpected juxtaposition of a man struggling with a tire barbell and another man comically attempting to lift a Cybertruck, implying the Cybertruck is incredibly heavy. The sound effects enhance the comedic timing and the relatable struggle of lifting heavy objects.
