I have no idea what this is about. Who or what is a Wilson? Is this Wilson sporting goods?
I am mystified.
I get who Wilson is, but not why this is funny/interesting?!

“Wilson” was the name of the soccer ball in that Tom Hanks movie. “Cast Away” I think it was called.
Definitely a Cast Away reference. While stranded on a desert isle, Hanks’s character found a Wilson-brand volleyball and began speaking to it, calling it Wilson. He used his bloody hands to dye a little face onto it and later decorated it with palm fronds as “hair.” Throughout the movie he goes through delusional periods where he thinks Wilson is a real person. When he’s rescued, Wilson is left adrift.

Now we know what became of it.
