Why do reindeer like Beyoncé so much?

This joke hinges on a pun involving the word “sleighs,” which has a double meaning in this context. Firstly, “sleighs” refers to the traditional mode of transport for Santa Claus, pulled by reindeer, making it a familiar term in Christmas lore. Secondly, “sleighs” is a play on the modern slang “slays,” which means to do something exceptionally well or with great skill, often used to describe a powerful or impressive performance. Beyoncé, being a highly acclaimed and successful singer, is known for her outstanding performances, thus “slaying” it. The humor arises from linking the reindeer’s Christmas-related context (sleighs) with Beyoncé’s reputation for consistently delivering remarkable performances (“slaying” it). The joke playfully implies that reindeer admire Beyoncé because she metaphorically “sleighs” like they do, but in the realm of music and performance.
