You're going to hate yourself when you figure out how lame it actually is:
No em, as in " it does not include the letter 'm' ".

Sorry, I realized the joke doesn't even seem to make sense.

2. Make a long drawn-out version of this sound: "eeeeeeee..." (to use the European spelling). In the middle, while keeping your tongue in the same position, purse your lips (round them) like you do when saying "oo" as in "too" or "boo!": "eeeeeööööö..."
Can I make a suggestion.
Best place to this is on a packed bus or subway.
You should find out if you are doing it correctly from the reaction of fellow passengers.

Is it so hard to imagine a hero could be a female?

I mean, yes, the issue still exists, but it was probably way worse back in 1996.

Also brings this classic to mind:

I was just reading a collection of anecdotes about rich people. Some of them have eccentric hobbies.

"I dated a girl in college. [...] Her dad had a barn full of mint vintage Porches."

Aside from the humor aspect, this image is very unusual.
  • It is highly compressed, with a 256-color palette, the checkerboard pixelation is a give-away.
  • The file itself is comparatively large: 463k (photographic images compress way better with JPG.)
  • It will not load into an editor - such as Photoshop - as a .png.
All of these things are indications that this more likely an animated gif that has been broken.

I have experienced this when I try to copy and animated gif from Google results. They break. What one must do (if one wants to show the animation) is - rather than copy-pasting the file - downloading/uploading the file.

IDK about animation but do you think the person sleeping beneath the statue has been 'photoshoped' to resemble Arnold?

I missed the joke. Aside from resemblance, does this montage imply that Schwarzenegger is a has-been? Politically outdoors?

I've seen expiration dates on a lot of food items, but this bag of potato chips has the first expiration time I've seen. Tick tick tick...

Not a has been. He recently starred in "Omelette: 2B or not 2B".

In reality, the photograph (which is legitimate) was taken in January 2016, while the Hollywood star was shooting a film in Columbus, Ohio. Schwarzenegger posted it to his Instagram account on 15 January 2016, apparently as a joke:

The whole sleeping person is 'shopped in. The lighting and colour saturation or foreground and background don't match at all. Not to mention the scale discrepancy.

But that's not a knock against it or its laugh-quotient. Memes are not supposed to pretend to be real.

In fact, in many memes, the obvious fakeness is, itself, integral to the message and humour:

Dunno, actually.

No. The photo is real. (Yes, I posted a very bad copy of it) It was made as a joke and posted in here as a joke.

Wow. That is funny, actually being Arnold. In one of his first films about a bodybuilding competition, Schwarzenegger pretended to sleep.

Edit 20250331: The documentary was released in 1977 as "Pumping Iron". Arnold acts naturally humorous, pretending to nap with a smaller contestant to psyche him out. Fans of "The Hulk" TV series can see and hear contestant Lou Ferrigno wearing hearing aids off-stage and talking unaided as a deaf person.
