Like yeah ok, for the first 5 five times one sees it, it's like haha, lol, there it is! But, these do get old really fast for me.

For me it's now more like -wow. So that is literally the entire joke? Like oof, I guess they really wannted to be funny.-

EDIT: Updated the funi image to actually be what I wanted it to be... Took me a while, sorry.

It’s not funny on its own. It’s funny because it’s an inside joke we all share.

The community mockery and allusion to the original is what makes the entire phenomenon.

Kind of like this pop up book on Amazon is a “isthisloss” in 3d.

It’s clever because it’s unexpected even if we all know what it is

Szeth what in the FUCK is that link. My dumb ass clicked on it because it looked like an Amazon link but I got a pop-up and some permission request and dude what the fuck.

~~Big doubt that's a legit link.~~ DRM is just scary lol

The permission request was probably just Firefox asking if Amazon Music is allowed to play DRM-controlled content (so music), so nothing inherently bad.
