The image is a two-part meme with screenshots taken from what appears to be a daytime talk show setting. The top half of the image shows a woman who is speaking. The caption reads, "My husband Joe has integrity, he's strong, he's steady, he's a leader, he's smart, he's energetic."
In the bottom half of the image, there is a person who seems to be responding to the first statement. This individual has a skeptical expression on their face, and the caption says, "You realize we can see him, right???" which is meant to be a humorous retort.
The humor in this meme likely stems from the juxtaposition of the two contrasting sentiments. The woman's proud and complimentary statements about her husband, "Joe," may suggest that her husband is a very capable and admirable person, according to her portrayal.
The punchline comes from the second person's response, which implies a disconnect between the description given by the woman and what the audience can purportedly observe about "Joe," potentially suggesting that what the audience can see does not match with the woman's flattering description. This discrepancy is what creates the comedic effect, as it is a form of situational irony.
The use of the skeptical expression on the face of the second person enhances the comedic effect. Such expressions are commonly used in memes to convey disbelief or doubt, which in this context, suggests that the audience's perception of "Joe" is so obviously at odds with the woman's description that it is laughable.
What makes this meme relatable and humorous for many people is the common experience of hearing someone speak very highly of someone else, only to be taken aback by the reality which may not match those high praises. It plays on the notion that people often have biased perspectives of their loved ones, and this inherent bias can be amusingly obvious to outside observers.
