Two figures emerge from the forest. One is running, the other is bearing. This one is extra nonesense in English.... The joke is based on conjugation. "FutVA" is a version of "running" in Hungarian, referring to how someone is moving. With the "va" at the end, it means someone is emerging from the forest while running. Meanwhile, "bear" is "medve" in Hungarian, with a similar sounding conjugation at the end: "ve". However, this one is a simple coincidence, so the joke plays on the other figure emerging while being a bear.

This is a funny combination of two proverbs: "A vase goes to the well until it breaks." meaning one will continue to do something until something bad happens, and "Pea spilled on a wall" meaning is something you try to say or do but it doesn't interest anyone. Since "pea" is "borsó" and "vase" is "korsó", the similarity is the humorous link between the two.
