MOCK THE WITCH THEY SAID IT WILL BE FUN THEY SAID
The image depicts an anthropomorphized frog seated with a disgruntled expression on its face. The frog is dressed in what appears to be a formal 18th or 19th-century attire, complete with a waistcoat, jacket, and a cravat. The apparel gives the frog a humanized characteristic, which sets the stage for the humorous juxtaposition inherent in the image.
Above the seated frog, there's a caption that reads, "MOCK THE WITCH THEY SAID." Below the frog is the complementary part of the caption stating, "IT WILL BE FUN THEY SAID." The text is overlayed directly onto the image with a meme-like quality, signaling the intent for humor.
The humor in this image largely arises from the unexpected transformation of the subject. The text suggests that the frog was once a person who decided to mock a witch and, as a consequence, was turned into a frog. This play on the classic trope of witches turning people into animals for affronts, real or imagined, is at the core of the joke.
Moreover, the frog's expression adds to the comedic effect. It seems to convey a sense of regret and disbelief, possibly reflecting on the misguided advice that led to its current predicament. The human clothing creates a stark contrast with the frog's appearance, amplifying the absurdity of the situation.
The phrase "THEY SAID" is repeated twice, implying a sort of peer pressure or false reassurance that engaging in the MOCK THE WITCH THEY SAID IT WILL BE FUN THEY SAID
