The image captures a young individual taking a mirror selfie. At first glance, it seems as if the person is being kissed on the cheek by another person. The caption "Me this Valentines Day" implies that the photo has something to do with the romantic context of Valentine's Day, which often involves couples sharing affectionate gestures such as kissing.
However, upon closer examination, it becomes clear that there is no second person in the image. Instead, the individual in the photo is wearing a hoodie and has ingeniously folded their own arm through the hood and is pretending to kiss their own hand. This clever trickery creates the illusion that they are being kissed by someone else.
The humor in this image arises from the clever and comical way in which the individual has attempted to represent a common Valentine's Day scenario. The joke plays on the societal expectation that people should be romantically involved with someone on Valentine's Day, and the individual's solution to this expectation is both creative and humorous.
The sense of humor also stems from the element of surprise and the subversion of expectations. The viewer initially believes they are looking at a typical couple's photo, but the reveal that it is a staged scene subverts the initial assumption, leading to amusement.
Additionally, the laughter emoji in the caption suggests that the individual in the photo is also in on the joke and understands the comedic nature of their staged photo. It shows a level of self-deprecation that can be endearing and relatable to viewers, especially Me this Valentines Day
