We re being hailed Captain but it sounds like Gibberish
This image is a multi-panel meme that combines elements of science fiction and comedy. The top panel shows a character who appears to be a communications officer aboard a spaceship, sitting at a console with various colorful buttons and displays. She is looking towards the viewer with a slightly concerned expression, and there is a caption that reads, "We're being hailed Captain, but it sounds like Gibberish!"
The bottom panel transitions to show what or whom the crew is ostensibly receiving a communication from. The view shifts to the perspective of the spaceship's bridge, showing two characters facing a large viewscreen. The character on the left is standing with his back towards the viewer, wearing a yellow shirt which suggests a command or officer role within the ship's hierarchy. The character on the right also wears a yellow shirt and is looking at the viewscreen with an attentively amused posture.
On the viewscreen itself is a person who does not fit the typical science fiction setting. It is an image of a smiling man who appears to be laughing or speaking with enthusiasm. The presence of this individual on the screen is anachronistic and humorous because he does not match the futuristic setting, and his jovial expression contrasts with the seriousness typically associated with receiving a communication in science fiction narratives.
The humor in this image arises largely from the juxtaposition of the formal, and usually tense, setting of a spaceship bridge with the completely out-of-context image of the laughing man. This man is inserted into the science fiction narrative, which We re being hailed Captain but it sounds like Gibberish
