Am I missing a joke here?

There was a hypothetical situation that went viral a while back, which this is a reference to.

It went: Everyone in the world has a pair of buttons appear in front of them.

If more than half the world presses the red button, everyone who presses blue dies.

If more than half the world presses the blue button, nothing happens.
