The image depicts two individuals; an adult male and a young child whose faces are in close proximity to one another. The purpose of the image is to highlight a humorous observation about the physical similarities between the two, specifically focusing on the shape and appearance of their noses.
The humor in the image comes from the caption that accompanies the photo. It reads, "This guy wants a DNA TEST but deep down I think he NOSE it’s his CHILD." The joke is primarily based on a play on words, using "NOSE" as a pun on the word "knows," which sounds the same when spoken aloud (a homophone).
Additionally, the humor is reinforced by the emphasized resemblance in their noses, pointing to a common trait that is often looked for when determining familial relationships. The shared feature implies that they are indeed related, which is why the caption suggests that the man subconsciously 'nose' the truth about the child's paternity, even as he seeks confirmation through a DNA test.
The context of the joke relies on the cultural understanding that DNA tests are a scientific way to establish biological relations, especially in situations where paternity is in question. It's a situation often depicted in media for dramatic or comedic effect, with the DNA test results typically expected to provide irrefutable evidence.
The expression on the faces of the individuals also contributes to the humor. Both the man and the child have serious, neutral expressions, which is a stark contrast to the light-hearted nature of the This guy wants a DNA TEST but deep down I think he NOSE it s his CHILD
