Dad’s Cartoon Cat Rat Trap

for weeks my parents have been at war against a very resourceful rat and I've been begging them to call pest control but my dad would rather balance a banana on a 2x4 over a garbage can full of water like a cartoon cat

A homemade rat trap is set up in a kitchen, with a banana balanced on a wooden board over a garbage can filled with water. The joke is that the father is using an absurd cartoon-style contraption instead of calling pest control, despite the rat repeatedly outsmarting the family. It is used as a reaction to elaborate, desperate, or impractical solutions to a simple problem.
