  This is actually hilarious. It’s an absurdist parody on a parody of absurdism.

  Which makes it meta-absurd 🤣

    It’s such a a ridiculously niche joke and it’s soooo good.

    I only understand this joke because John Oliver made a similar reference to this piece of art on his Last Show of the Week Last Night show.

      I believe Dashbo is referring to the original painting.

    Google translated it to, I don’t know you guys! Is google correct or incorrect?

    • hperrin@lemmy.ca ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      Yes.

      (Both are correct depending on context. In this context, Bobby is talking to one person he doesn’t know, so “vous” is singular and formal.)
