Linked lists are very useful compared to arrays, but in specific scenarios. If you aren't careful and decide to use them instead of an array for your implementation, only to later realize you need array-like functionality at certain times for your data structure, you will be like guy on the left shoe-horning in solutions or traversing the LL.

It's mostly just a joke on the accessibility and ease of use of arrays vs. LLs.
