The image features two representations of the famous puppet character Kermit the Frog: one is the regular, "good" version of Kermit, and the other is a "dark" version cloaked in a black hood, reminiscent of a nefarious persona or inner voice. The humor arises from the dichotomy between the innocent appearance of the beloved character and the "evil" version offering misguided advice.
On the left side, the "good" Kermit looks visibly concerned or hesitant, aligning with the text "Me: I can't drink any more of this beer." This reflects the typical moment of conscience where someone is contemplating whether or not to continue drinking perhaps due to having reached their limit or wanting to make healthier choices.
On the right side, the "dark" Kermit, representing an inner voice of temptation or mischief, responds with "Other me: There are sober children in Africa, finish it." This plays on the common persuasive tactic of reminding someone of less fortunate circumstances to compel them to appreciate what they have, but it twists the logic absurdly by implying that one's overconsumption of alcohol is somehow beneficial or empathetic, which is blatantly nonsensical and humorously inappropriate.
The reason people might find this image funny lies in its use of the internet meme format known as "Evil Kermit," which depicts an angel-and-devil-on-the-shoulder scenario where one's better judgment is humorously contested by their more impulsive side. The familiarity with the format and the unexpected rationale delivered by "Evil Kermit" generate the comedic effect.
Another layer of the humor comes from the irony that the "advice" given by the "dark" Kermit combines a serious issue - the well-being of children in Africa - with a completely unrelated and trivial personal choice, thus creating an absurd comparison. The disconnect between the gravity of the referenced issue and the triviality of finishing a beer is intentionally disproportionate, which can be surprising and amusing.
Finally, the humor may also stem from the self-awareness it brings to the silly justifications people sometimes invent to rationalize their choices. Many viewers can relate to the internal conflict depicted here, and the exaggeration makes light of the sometimes absurd internal bargaining we conduct with ourselves over minor dilemmas.
