Gonna tell my kids this was Forrest Gump Jenny
The image shows two individuals, a man and a woman, walking side by side. The man is dressed in a beige suit jacket, black pants, and a black cap that reads "Bubba Gump," referencing the Bubba Gump Shrimp Company from the film "Forrest Gump." He carries a black suitcase with one hand and has a stoic expression. The woman next to him is donning a blue denim crop top, high-waisted denim shorts, and sunglasses on her head. Her blonde hair is styled with bangs, and she appears to be mid-stride, with her thumb extended as if she's about to hitchhike, which is also a reference to a scene from the movie.
Above the photo, a caption reads, "Gonna tell my kids this was Forrest Gump & Jenny," humorously suggesting that the individuals in the photograph will be misrepresented to future generations as the iconic characters from the beloved 1994 film "Forrest Gump." The humor here relies on both the semblance of their outfits to the film's characters and the absurdity of intentionally relaying incorrect historical information.
The humor is further amplified by the man's cap, which is a piece of official merchandise from a themed restaurant chain that sprung out of the film's success. This creates a visual link that fans of the movie will quickly recognize and appreciate, while also giving the ensemble a playful twist of self-awareness.
