Why is "Here's the deal." funny?

Political

Who it channels

Biden's signature wind-up — the phrase that announces he is about to level with you.

Where it comes from

A lifelong Biden verbal habit, used to preface points in speeches and debates.

Why it lands

It promises hard candour and plain talk, so attaching it to something utterly mundane is the joke — you have cued a major announcement and delivered a grocery list.

How to drop it

"Here's the deal. We're out of milk."
