However the depicted situation is funny, because the thing behind the breakable glass is a glass repair kit. This is ironic, considering that the only way to reach it is by breaking the glass. One might even use it to fix the glass broken to get it... This joke is similar in nature to a {{w|Useless machine}}.

In this way it is not necessarily useless, just ironic. | However the depicted situation is funny, because the thing behind the breakable glass is a glass repair kit.
