Oh, the cartoon is funny because it is way over the top. Tongue in cheek - and a fat camel tongue at that.
And obviously this is a common problem, not limited to VW - I would not be amazed if in the end it turns out that VW is one of the companies that manipulates the least. They just had bad luck. Makes me think of the time when all the boys in school did break a certain rule, and I (a reluctant participant) was the only one that got busted for it.

But it wasn't the Onions finest work.
Maybe this is:
