English term or phrase: cheaper cut
Фрагмент транскрипта американского сериала All In The Family:

Archie, the next step is get them to pay me like a fella.
What do you mean by that?
Oh they're putting me on regular next week, but they're paying me less than they paid the man who used to run the forklift.
Oh well come on Irene, after all, it's a well-known fact that men are worth more than women.
[laughter]
Archie, have you been reading Playboy?
No, Irene, the Bible.
The Bible?
The Bible. And in the Bible it says God made man in his own image, and he made woman after, from a rib. A cheaper cut.

Буду благодарна за удачный смешной вариант "A cheaper cut". Информации об имеющихся переводах на русский не нашла (скорее всего, его и нет).

"дешевый отруб"
Explanation:
В русском языке это вполне стандартное выражение, обозначающее дешевый кусок мяса. Вот примеры: https://www.google.com/search?q="дешевый отруб"&oq="дешевый ...
Это не "смешной" вариант, как вы просите, но можно взять в кавычки и тем самым подчеркнуть иронию.

Explanation:
… а потом создал женщину, из его ребра. Материал-то попроще.
Или:
Взял материал попроще.
Взял материал «б/у». (В смысле, «бывший в употреблении», аббревиатура вроде широко известна и в расшифровке обычно не нуждается).

Перевод не буквальный, конечно, но смысл передает.
