The image presented appears to be a humorous internet meme utilizing a sequence of panels from a popular movie featuring characters that resemble an infamous pirate and a female companion. The scene takes place with a serene ocean backdrop, adding a stark contrast to the light-hearted exchange between the characters.
In the first panel, the female character expresses her fondness for "eminem," which is intended to reference the famous rapper. However, the male character misinterprets her statement, leading to the ensuing comedic misunderstanding. In the second panel, the male character responds by stating, "I prefer skittles," humorously mistaking the rapper's name for the well-known brand of fruit-flavored candy.
The third panel shows the female character attempting to clarify her initial remark by emphasizing, "No, not the candy, the rapper." This line underscores the miscommunication and sets up the punchline that follows. The humor lies in the play on words and the fact that both "Eminem" and "Skittles" are recognizable as both brand names and, in the case of "Eminem," a stage name as well.
The final panel delivers the punchline where the male character, still oblivious to the true nature of the conversation, asks, "why would I eat the wrapper??" This takes the misinterpretation to another level by turning the conversation into an absurdity.
The humor in this image comes from the wordplay involved and the character's literal interpretation of the term "rapper" as the physical wrapper of a candy. The comedic effect is enhanced by the characters' earnest facial expressions and the context, which suggests a pirate-themed setting where such a misunderstanding might seem plausible if the characters weren't aware of modern pop culture.
Lastly, the image may be funny to some people due to the visual and thematic juxtaposition it creates. The contrast between a gritty, sea-worn pirate engaging in a conversation about candy and modern music artists provides an amusing and surreal vignette. The use of these character’s images, who are typically involved in dramatic and adventurous storylines, for such an innocuous and silly exchange, adds a layer of irony and wit to the humor.
