a condom and a coffin both hold stiffs but ones
The image presented is a meme featuring two frames with text and cartoon characters. The top frame shows a character that resembles Skeletor from the 'He-Man and the Masters of the Universe' animated series, sitting down and looking dejected with his chin resting on his hand. The character is surrounded by dark, eerie woods which adds to the somber atmosphere of the scene.
The text accompanying the top frame is a play on words that reads, "a condom and a coffin both hold stiffs, but one’s coming and one’s going…" The humor in this text lies in the double entendre involving the word "stiffs," which colloquially can mean both a dead body and an erect penis. The wordplay also contrasts the beginnings and ends of life, referencing the creation of life (associated with condoms) and the end of life (associated with coffins).
The bottom frame shows the same character, but now he is walking away into the distance with his back to the viewer, giving a sense of departure or conclusion. The backdrop remains consistent with the eerie woods, reinforcing the somber or final mood.
Text below the second frame states "Until we meet again," providing a sign-off that contrasts with the humor of the first statement, offering a lighter, somewhat poignant twist on the stark realities referenced above. This could suggest a cycle or an inevitable future encounter with either theme of the joke.
The humor in this image may stem from the unexpected juxtaposition of a cartoon character, typically seen in children's entertainment, with adult humor. It plays on the surprise factor of finding mature content linked with a nostalgic and innocent character.
People might find this image funny due to the subversive and irreverent nature of the joke, the clever pun on the word "stiffs," and the blending of dark humor with an animated character known for being a villain in a typically light-hearted context. The contrast between these elements creates an amusing dissonance that can be both surprising and entertaining. a condom and a coffin both hold stiffs but ones coming and ones going Until we meet again
