This image depicts an adult pit bull dog standing in the middle of a road with its gaze directly towards the camera. The dog's posture is alert and somewhat imposing, as pit bulls are often characterized by their muscular build and strong presence. The light brown coat of the dog contrasts with the gray, seemingly rough texture of the road surface.
A unique feature in the photo that draws immediate attention is the object the dog is carrying in its mouth. According to the accompanying text, it is a Marlboro cigarette, which strikes an amusing and incongruous image. The cigarette's presence is at odds with the typical behavior expected from a dog, lending the scene a humorous twist.
The text above the image provides context that adds to the humor. It states, "I just got chased by a Pitbull with a f*cking Marlboro cigarette in his mouth I’M NEVER COMING BACK TO CHICAGO ðŸ˜". This hyperbolic declaration suggests a dramatic encounter, but the described absurdity of the situation makes it comedic rather than frightening.
The humor can also be found in the juxtaposition of the arguably tough reputation of both pit bulls and the city of Chicago against the ridiculousness of the situation. A dog chasing someone is a familiar canine behavior, but the addition of the cigarette nonchalantly held in its mouth creates an image of a "bad boy" dog from a tough neighborhood, which is an amused humanization of the animal.
The meme format here, where a picture is paired with text to convey a joke or an amusing observation, taps into internet culture's love for the unexpected. It's the element of surprise and absurdity that engages the audience and leads to the wide sharing and enjoyment of such images.
The use of an emotive weeping emoji also plays into the exaggeration, suggesting that the situation is so over-the-top that the person involved is overwhelmed and humorously distressed. The contrast between the image and the dramatic text elicits laughter because it subverts the normalcy of what people typically report as a scary dog encounter.
