I figured out that there's a clown who crashes his car into a tree because he is drunk, but I don't get the last panel. Why are there suddenly so many bodies?

what are the lucky 10000?
Randall Munroe calculated that there's every day the lucky 10000 (in the US, 400 thousand globally) who learn something for the first time that is very known.
its a reference to [https://www.explainxkcd.com/wiki/index.php/1053:_Ten_Thousand](this xkcd)
You're one of them today. Jk, I don't think it applies specifically to this, this isn't well known.
I feel like the analogy of a clown car is pretty widespread? And the lucky 10,000 is back of the napkin guestimation, I think it's allowed an order of magnitude on either side, and one should not feel bad for being part of it, you're in for learning and learning is (or should be) fun!
No, I meant that not knowing about the 10K didn't really make him part of the daily 10K
