        As someone else pointed out, x-lax gives you “smooth movements.” they had an advertising campaign in I think the 1980s. The slogan was “smooth move x-lax,” and it entered the vernacular slang for a decade or so. Generally, it was used in a sarcastic way when somebody does something that is specifically not smooth.

        It’s used as the punchline here because it is intentionality so cringeworthy.
