“Oh, wait, Doreen—don’t sit there. … That chair’s just not safe.”

I don’t get it.
I thought about this later, and now I think it’s this: The host says to the guest “have a seat anywhere” only to come in and find the guest has selected the worst, most obviously dangerous seat.
But not just that. The absurdity of the host even having such a chair in the first place. Why would there be a chair with a bear trap, metal spikes and a snake hanging by a thread unless they wanted to put someone in harm’s way. But she rushes in as though she’d momentarily forgotten all about the snappy, pokey, bitey chair.
I think it’s just joking on households often having one wobbly or half broken chair.
I’m assuming that that’s for the husband due to the clothing being similar to older people and most old jokes being akin to “I hate my husband/wife”.
It’s not a safe chair.
