The image displays a list of years from 2016 to 2024, with a repetitive phrase associated with each year except the last. For the years 2016 through 2023, the phrase "HE'S LITERALLY HITLER" is listed, suggesting a recurring claim or comparison being made annually about a person. In 2024, the statement changes tone dramatically, with "How dare you say our rhetoric caused this!" This abrupt change is the setup for the humor.
The format of the text implies a progression of time and the persistence of a specific claim, insinuating that an accusation is being repeated without change or reevaluation. This repetition over the years may be interpreted as a commentary on the consistency of political or social rhetoric and could be seen as a satirical take on how certain accusations are used persistently in discourse.
The humor in the image arises from the ironic twist in the final year, where the speaker seems to be indignant at the suggestion that their own actions (the repeated rhetoric) have had any consequences. This is funny to some because it points out the hypocrisy or lack of self-awareness that can be present in political or social discussions, where the same accusations are made without considering their impact or validity over time.
Additionally, the text could be funny because it exaggerates the severity of the comparison being made, equating someone to Adolf Hitler, a historical figure known for horrendous crimes. The exaggeration is used as a comedic device because the repeated hyperbolic comparison becomes absurd and thus subject to ridicule.
The satire is also directed towards the way people can be indignant or deflect blame when confronted with the potential outcomes of their behavior or speech. The last line reads as an almost humorous refusal to take responsibility, a common theme in comedic takes on stubborn or oblivious characters in various forms of media.
In conclusion, the image employs irony, exaggeration, and a twist ending to create humor. It lampoons the perennial nature of some political or social rhetoric and pokes fun at the lack of introspection by those who perpetuate such comparisons. While it makes a pointed commentary, it does so through the lens of humor, making its critical message easier to digest and more engaging for the viewer. 2016 HE S LITERALLY HITLER 2017 HE S LITERALLY HITLER 2018 HE S LITERALLY HITLER 2019 HE S LITERALLY HITLER 2020 HE S LITERALLY HITLER 2021 HE S LITERALLY HITLER 2022 HE S LITERALLY HITLER 2023 HE S LITERALLY HITLER 2024 How dare you say our rhetoric caused this
