The image depicted here is a modification of a scene from the classic Spider-Man cartoon series, specifically from a moment where the superhero appears to be in an unfortunate situation. Spider-Man is shown sitting on the ground, hunched over, with his head down and looking defeated or distressed. What seems to be a stream of water is pouring on top of his head from an unseen source above, though it is intended as a depiction of someone urinating on him as per the text in the image.
Superimposed over this illustration is a block of text that reads, "When I lie that I'm into BDSM to impress and now I'm handcuffed to a coffeemaker while she peeing on me." The sentence introduces a comedic scenario where someone has purportedly fabricated an interest in BDSM (which stands for Bondage, Discipline, Dominance and Submission, Sadism and Masochism, a variety of erotic practices) as a way to impress someone else, which has led to an absurd and presumably undesired situation.
This juxtaposition of the text with the image of a despondent Spider-Man might be humorous to some because of the incongruity. The theme of the text is adult and risqué, using BDSM as the punchline, while the image is from a children's cartoon known for its wholesomeness and the heroic acts of Spider-Man. The dissonance between these two contents creates a comedic effect.
The humor also arises from the hyperbolic nature of the person's predicament. The statement exaggerates the length to which the individual has gone to impress someone – all the way to the point of being literally handcuffed to a coffeemaker while in a compromising position. This kind of exaggeration can be a common tool in humor to create an effect of absurdity.
Furthermore, the image plays on the character’s typical portrayal of fortitude and resilience as Spider-Man. Seeing the superhero in this altered context, being subjected to a humiliating action, plays against the audience's expectations for the character, leading to a humorous subversion of the typical narrative of Spider-Man cartoons.
Lastly, humor often comes from the recognition of shared experiences or feelings. In this case, the joke might resonate with people who have found themselves in situations where a fib or stretch of the truth to impress someone has backfired spectacularly. The very human and relatable foundation of the joke, contrasted with the superhuman figure of Spider-Man, might be why some people would find the image funny.
