The joke is that the husband and his friend went to Thailand and his friend transitioned. Now the old friend is “missing” and the husband is married to who that friend became.
Thanks, I’m dumb and thought she murdered his friend.
She kinda looks like someone who accidentally shot her husband in the head while joking around about shooting him in the head with a real gun.
I’m trans and thought she murdered his friend too lmao
I’m smart and I though she murdered his friend
I’m drunk and I though she murdered his friend
Smart and drunk are basically synonyms
I don’t know if I’m smart or not, but I think part of the joke is that the husband doesn’t recognize that his now-wife is his former best friend, and that unlikely circumstance kept me from understanding the joke even though I read the explanation. (Not the explanation in this thread but the more ambiguous one in the other thread.)
Im norwegian, and I was a question mark until I read the comments which made me transition into an exclamation mark.
Does it say something about me that I got the joke immediately?
Me too. Do you happen to be an engineer as well?
Erm… no, that can’t be it…
Were you dropped on you head as a child like me… repeatedly?
I thought this was some boomer shit about spouses not listening to each other?
So many different interpretations in the comments.
I thought it was just that he didn’t need a significant other because he was so close with his friend haha
Oh! Good one!
That it’s open to interpretation is part of the fun. I don’t know what the person who made it intended. I didn’t even recognize from what show it was.
Not so dumb, given this is probably a screengrab from “you”, and this character would definitely have murdered his friend
This would also be a funny interpretation.
Truth is the three of them bought a farm with six pigs and then ate the friend.
I thought she married a murderer.
I just had no idea what the joke was until I saw the trans comments. I was busy thinking, like, “That’s really hard.”
I understood “we met shortly after” as talking about the wife and the best friend. Like a hyperbolic expansion of the “adult men don’t talk about their lives with their male friends.”
Thailand
👀🏳️⚧️
Pretty sure that’s the joke (the friend is the wife)
Oh thanks I didn’t understand the joke
It wouldn’t be funny if it was obvious. Thanks for your sacrifice.
Why wouldn’t it be funny if it was obvious? Most funny jokes are obvious, at least after the punchline.
It’s double entendre, deriving from certain associations with Thailand. If one is in the know, one can read the meme as implying a rather implausible story. There is a humorous twist, but it would be rather dull if spelled out. This way, one derives satisfaction from decoding the meme, and knowing oneself to belong to the in-group.

I would disagree. Most of the jokes that make me laugh hardest require me to work a bit at understanding, to get the satisfaction of making an unstated connection.
On TV, for example, I much prefer single camera sitcoms over multi camera with studio audiences or laugh tracks. I don’t need things to be heavy handed about which parts are jokes.
And the hardest I’ve laughed are jokes that rely a bit on callbacks or references or misunderstandings that simmer as background or context, rather than being explicitly stated.
Omg kids just agree to disagree. Oh wait this is the internet
I’m generally aligned with the “let people enjoy things” view. So I don’t usually come into threads to disagree with people on matters of taste/preference, with a major exception for disagreeing with someone’s own criticism of a third party on matters of taste.
OP came in an posted a joke you have to work for. Someone else came in and complained about it. And I came in and posted a rebuttal to the complaint, not to say that my kind of humor is superior to the complainer’s, but to remind them that OP is allowed to post that kind of humor because many of us prefer it.
I don’t think we can get anywhere if we try to debate based on what you or I personally think is funny. That’s why I specifically mentioned “the punchline”. Since the entire point of the punchline is to say the point of the joke, which is basically to make it obvious, I thought I was cleverly avoiding replies based on personal perspective. I hoped we could all agree that if we looked at a list of jokes that is generally agreed to be funny, most of them would be obvious after the punchline.
I’m not debating whether my type of humor is funnier than your type.
I’m pointing out that OP’s humor is a specific category that others (including myself) appreciate, so I don’t think your own preferences should override how OP wants to share jokes.
does thailand have something to do with transgender? is there context im missing?
It’s the leading country people travel to for gender affirming surgeries :p
Thanks that is what was implied but I didnt really know if that was a thing.
Everyone knows that to transition into a woman you walk into a booth in Bangkok called the “cunt machine” and after a magical girl transformation sequence you walk out a hormed and surged up doll
Thank you, I had no idea what the OP was about.
Shiny bright lights transformation like in Sailor Moon
And the whole thing costs 2000 baht.
My best mate and I used to joke that if one of us was a woman or both of us were gay, it would have saved a lot of time.
Ah, if only both of you were women and both of you were gay :(
If anyone is curious where this comes from, and whether or not it is AI.
I wish I had such good friends.
*husband(s)
In other words, lying to your partner for over a decade? Why and, most importantly, how?
Edit: I wonder what the people who downvote the comment mean by them.
Sheesh. Can’t a woman be bored by some old story without everyone jumping to far-fetched conclusions!
Now that’s a good friend. Feeling sorry for his friend who can’t find a girlfriend. Then disappears in Thailand so his friend can meet the love of his life.
The casserole of nonsense
New Webtoon plot dropped
Slop?
Edit: not slop
I mean if you (too) consider Thailand trans jokes slop then sure
I wasn’t considering the joke. I zoomed in on the face and those wrinkles looked suspicious to me. Then I started looking at the background and that’s when I started thinking the image was slop? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Oh and the ears too. They just don’t seem realistic to me.
So basically we’re back to the days of “I can tell from some of the pixels and from seeing quite a few s
h[l]ops in my time” but with AI instead of photoshop? Makes me feel all nostalgicWe’ve been here for a few years now!
If so, it is an AI recreation of a real person.
I think its a shot from the show You
Looks like it was upscaled. It has that play-doh look.
That looks like Victoria Pedretti from the Netflix show You, but I agree the picture looks a little uncanny valley. It could be the picture was taken with a phone camera pointed at a tv?
Maybe she’s just Klingon asshole!
Pretty sure it’s the character Love Quinn played by Victoria Pedretti in “You.” Another shot

Nope, found this image posted in 2021
Nice, thanks!
No, I’m with you, that was my first thought
