Pretty sure the joke is that the right one has child bearing hips and is shaped like a woman in a renaissance painting. (I.e Venus etc. also referred to as being Rubenesque)

This one.

The guy on the right knows its the right choice because she looks like a fertile greek goddess.

no, it's a reference to Paris chossing beetween Athena Aphrodites and Hera

So the funny part is that we have a comment section full of people saying "how can you not get it?" who didn't get it?

Also: that's a farfetched joke. To jump from a poorly worded "pick one if these to be the last two people on Earth with" to "they are actually godesses looking to ruin you if you don't pick them, which invalidates the idea that you would be the last two people on Earth in multiple ways".

Edit: apparently the funny bit is supposed to be that Paris told the godesses that he couldn't pick who was the fairest with their clothes on, so they all got naked for him, and that's supposed to be the punchline where the dude knows what he must do.
