"It's a trap!"
"Oh honey, that might have been true once."
I don't get it.
So this is Admiral Ackbar, whose line is ITS A TRAP!
He looks kind of like the pursehead.
Then there is "Trap" a colloquial term for a male who is disguised as a woman such that other males can't tell them apart.
It would be funny if Ackbar said "ITS A TRAP" in reference to the Pursehead character who would then snap back about no longer having any male genitalia, such as a post-op transgender.
This humour is highly subjective and you may not find it funny even after the explanation, but I see the head shape and faux fur coat and immediately imagine a confident, sassy, deep voiced woman who mocks Ackbar's interpretation of her gender.

And not the lusty kind.
It's Ambassador Naranek!
They had one that wasn't Kosh? What happened to "We are all Kosh?"
Oh man, I knew it!
I searched for "vorlon ambassador" and that guy came up first, I didn't recognise the name but it's been a hot few decades.
Kosh was what I really wanted.
Tubi has Babylon 5 streaming for free. They even put the commercial breaks in the correct spots.
My first thought as well!
NGL at first I thought it was a shitty Halloween mask of a giant alien grasshopper head.
Unironically looks like a Star Wars Character.
Looks like a Vorlon from Babylon 5 in its environmental suit.
We shall meet again, at the hour of purchasing
You have been frozen in carbonite. The effects will soon wear off.
Very reptilian.

Well, now I want one.
You're not the only one
