The image displays a meme featuring a young girl with a sassy expression on her face. She is looking to her side, with a slight smirk, and her eyes are wide open, which contributes significantly to the overall humorous effect of the meme. Her distinct expression suggests a combination of innocence and an about-to-say-something-bold attitude, which sets the stage for the text overlaying the image.
The top text of the meme reads, "You know that tingly little feeling you get when you like someone?" which immediately ties the viewer's thoughts to familiar emotions associated with having a crush or affectionate feelings towards someone else. This opening line is quite relatable and primes the reader for a punchline that they expect will be connected to romance or emotions.
The bottom text then delivers a twist: "That’s common sense leaving your body." This punchline is amusing because it takes an unexpected turn, juxtaposing the familiar warm and fuzzy feelings of attraction with the humorous idea that developing a crush on someone equates to losing one's common sense. The juxtaposition of romantic infatuation with a humorous take on supposedly decreased judgment is what gives the meme its comedic effect.
The humor in this meme largely stems from the element of surprise and contradiction inherent in the punchline. While the first part of the text sets up a heartfelt sentiment, the second part undercuts it with a cynical and witty observation. This kind of humor, where the second part of the joke subverts the expectations set up by the first part, is often referred to as a "bait and switch."
Additionally, the image is funny to people because it juxtaposes the concept of love and attraction, typically associated with being wonderful and exhilarating, with a self-deprecating joke about losing common sense. This taps into a common cultural narrative where people joke about doing silly or irrational things when they are infatuated or in love.
Finally, the humor is enhanced by the use of a child to deliver this cynical message. Typically, children are associated with innocence and not with the critical and ironic views of the world often held by adults. Seeing such a skeptical statement, routinely expected from an adult, coming from a child's image adds to the meme's comedic and ironic quality. It suggests that even a young child can see the folly in adults' behavior when it comes to love, which adds to the meme's overall humorous message.
