Silver la girafe: C'est une girafe qui s'appelle Silver qui se promène et il y a un hélicoptère qui passe. Et Quick… Silver!

Silver the giraffe: It's a giraffe named Silver who's walking and there's a helicopter passing by. And Quick ... Silver!

This French joke is based on a play on words. Here, the giraffe named Silver is walking around and there's a helicopter passing by. 'Quick Silver' is pronounced similarly to 'Quicksilver', which is a common term for the element mercury. It's unexpected and absurdity is what makes it funny.
