Please explain. I don’t get the joke.
The joke is the absurdness of the photo.
Older memes were more simple, meant to be weird and bizarre cause it was different from what people were used to getting from traditional media like magazines and TV... Try not to overthink it.
Also shock/random humour was a lot bigger back then.
