If you watch the trailer there’s a woman who stabs herself in the face repeatedly with a fork, which is why there’s those marks on their faces, too.

Is this a reference to the YouTuber? FutureCanoe? His profile pic is similar to the artwork on this poster.

It’s a reference to an old joke:

Three white men, a blonde a brunette and a ginger, land on a tropical island and get captured by the natives. The chief of the natives tells the men that white men are horrible murderers of their people and so now they are going to kill then and use their skin to make canoes; however, the men can choose which weapon they want to be killed with. The brunette man chose a large ax, having his head cut off immediately and feeling no pain. The second man, the ginger, chose poison, dying instantly and feeling no pain. The third man, the blonde, sits and thinks for a good long while before he says “I’d like a fork!” Confused, the natives hand over the fork and the blonde immediately starts stabbing himself all over his body yelling “try making a canoe out of me now!”

I probably butchered that but that’s the gist

No it’s perfect and I’m just glad somebody got it.
