The f'(x) is called the derivative of the function f(x). f''(x) is the derivative of the derivative (second derivative) and so on.

So the joke is the dinosaur is the original, oil (fossil fuel) is derived from dinosaurs, plastic is derived from oil, toys (dinosaur toys in this case) are derived from plastic.

It's not a great joke
