As someone who transitioned and then dated her male best friend. It was fun, and while it didn’t work out in the end because of things outside the relationship, it was one of the best relationships I’ve had.
Respectfully. That is really cute and heartwarming.
Everyone knows that to transition into a woman you walk into a booth in Bangkok called the “cunt machine” and after a magical girl transformation sequence you walk out a hormed and surged up doll
And the whole thing costs 2000 baht.
Shiny bright lights transformation like in Sailor Moon
Thank you, I had no idea what the OP was about.
The joke is that the husband and his friend went to Thailand and his friend transitioned. Now the old friend is “missing” and the husband is married to who that friend became.
Ah, I thought that she kidnapped/killed her husband’s best friend. Yeah, maybe I watch too many crime/police bodycam vidyas on YT.
ETA: Ah, I’m not the only one.
I understood “we met shortly after” as talking about the wife and the best friend. Like a hyperbolic expansion of the “adult men don’t talk about their lives with their male friends.”
Thanks, I’m dumb and thought she murdered his friend.
Truth is the three of them bought a farm with six pigs and then ate the friend.
I’m trans and thought she murdered his friend too lmao
I’m smart and I though she murdered his friend
I’m drunk and I though she murdered his friend
Smart and drunk are basically synonyms
Does it say something about me that I got the joke immediately?
Me too. Do you happen to be an engineer as well?
Erm… no, that can’t be it…
Were you dropped on you head as a child like me… repeatedly?
I don’t know if I’m smart or not, but I think part of the joke is that the husband doesn’t recognize that his now-wife is his former best friend, and that unlikely circumstance kept me from understanding the joke even though I read the explanation. (Not the explanation in this thread but the more ambiguous one in the other thread.)
Im norwegian, and I was a question mark until I read the comments which made me transition into an exclamation mark.
I just had no idea what the joke was until I saw the trans comments. I was busy thinking, like, “That’s really hard.”
I thought she married a murderer.
Not so dumb, given this is probably a screengrab from “you”, and this character would definitely have murdered his friend
I think that’s the context that was messing everyone up lol
This would also be a funny interpretation.
I thought this was some boomer shit about spouses not listening to each other?
So many different interpretations in the comments.
I thought it was just that he didn’t need a significant other because he was so close with his friend haha
Oh! Good one!
That it’s open to interpretation is part of the fun. I don’t know what the person who made it intended. I didn’t even recognize from what show it was.
If anyone is curious where this comes from, and whether or not it is AI.
Pita imbalance 😂
Seasons 2 and 3 were peak, can’t believe Joe fumbled the ball on that one lol
My best mate and I used to joke that if one of us was a woman or both of us were gay, it would have saved a lot of time.
Ah, if only both of you were women and both of you were gay :(
Thailand
👀🏳️⚧️
does thailand have something to do with transgender? is there context im missing?
It’s the leading country people travel to for gender affirming surgeries :p
Thanks that is what was implied but I didnt really know if that was a thing.
Do they really provide the best care? I always thought it was more of a last resort thing, but perhaps I’m wrong if that’s the case
Pretty sure that’s the joke (the friend is the wife)
Oh thanks I didn’t understand the joke
I still dont understand. Did she kill the best friend? I dont believe for a second that anyone wouldn’t recognize their best friend in a new form.
I love your word choices lmao. The “new form” kinda sounds eldritch?
This isn’t even my final form.
It wouldn’t be funny if it was obvious. Thanks for your sacrifice.
Why wouldn’t it be funny if it was obvious? Most funny jokes are obvious, at least after the punchline.
Most funny jokes are obvious, at least after the punchline.
I would disagree. Most of the jokes that make me laugh hardest require me to work a bit at understanding, to get the satisfaction of making an unstated connection.
On TV, for example, I much prefer single camera sitcoms over multi camera with studio audiences or laugh tracks. I don’t need things to be heavy handed about which parts are jokes.
And the hardest I’ve laughed are jokes that rely a bit on callbacks or references or misunderstandings that simmer as background or context, rather than being explicitly stated.
Omg kids just agree to disagree. Oh wait this is the internet
Both need to expose their point of view before agreeing to disagreeing. They aren’t in an argument, what’s the issue in letting people talk?
I’m generally aligned with the “let people enjoy things” view. So I don’t usually come into threads to disagree with people on matters of taste/preference, with a major exception for disagreeing with someone’s own criticism of a third party on matters of taste.
OP came in an posted a joke you have to work for. Someone else came in and complained about it. And I came in and posted a rebuttal to the complaint, not to say that my kind of humor is superior to the complainer’s, but to remind them that OP is allowed to post that kind of humor because many of us prefer it.
I don’t think we can get anywhere if we try to debate based on what you or I personally think is funny. That’s why I specifically mentioned “the punchline”. Since the entire point of the punchline is to say the point of the joke, which is basically to make it obvious, I thought I was cleverly avoiding replies based on personal perspective. I hoped we could all agree that if we looked at a list of jokes that is generally agreed to be funny, most of them would be obvious after the punchline.
I’m not debating whether my type of humor is funnier than your type.
I’m pointing out that OP’s humor is a specific category that others (including myself) appreciate, so I don’t think your own preferences should override how OP wants to share jokes.
It’s double entendre, deriving from certain associations with Thailand. If one is in the know, one can read the meme as implying a rather implausible story. There is a humorous twist, but it would be rather dull if spelled out. This way, one derives satisfaction from decoding the meme, and knowing oneself to belong to the in-group.

Now that’s a good friend. Feeling sorry for his friend who can’t find a girlfriend. Then disappears in Thailand so his friend can meet the love of his life.
I wish I had such good friends.
*husband(s)
*wives <3
*(step-)family Ɛ>
Bet they played Striking Vipers
In other words, lying to your partner for over a decade? Why and, most importantly, how?
Edit: I wonder what the people who downvote the comment mean by them.
Maybe the husband is just deeply incurious and no lies were necessary 🤷♀️
Sheesh. Can’t a woman be bored by some old story without everyone jumping to far-fetched conclusions!
New Webtoon plot dropped
The casserole of nonsense
What a sentence hahaha
Slop?
Edit: not slop
Pretty sure it’s the character Love Quinn played by Victoria Pedretti in “You.” Another shot
So? It’s still slop. Even worse if it’s slop resembling a real person.
Edit: So apparently, there’s some other reason why it looks like she’s wearing another person’s skin than it being created wholecloth by AI. Still in the uncanny valley.
Brainrot: Exhibit A
Ah, yes: Being wary of being served AI slop and sometimes getting false positives, because I’m not gonna do research on a fucking meme: a prime example for “bRaInROt”. 🙄
/s
My point is that I don’t think this is AI generated, I think it’s a frame from human art.
It looks sloppy as fuck, though. Look at her eyes and the wrinkles at the hairlines.
Ok, so it has a slop filter applied which makes it look like the person is wearing somebody else’s skin. Wtf.
Wrong again. It looked the same in 2021 when this image was already circulating.
It’s a single frame from a panning shot where the actress is nodding her head quickly, and there is some out of focus camera work with lighting combining to make it look a little odd when you pause it right there. If you watch the clip you can see that moment.
Sometimes people just look weird if you take a frame out of a video.
I mean if you (too) consider Thailand trans jokes slop then sure
I wasn’t considering the joke. I zoomed in on the face and those wrinkles looked suspicious to me. Then I started looking at the background and that’s when I started thinking the image was slop? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Oh and the ears too. They just don’t seem realistic to me.
So basically we’re back to the days of “I can tell from some of the pixels and from seeing quite a few s
h[l]ops in my time” but with AI instead of photoshop? Makes me feel all nostalgicWe’ve been here for a few years now!
If so, it is an AI recreation of a real person.
I think its a shot from the show You
Looks like it was upscaled. It has that play-doh look.
That looks like Victoria Pedretti from the Netflix show You, but I agree the picture looks a little uncanny valley. It could be the picture was taken with a phone camera pointed at a tv?
Maybe she’s just Klingon asshole!
How? How can people tell? Someone points this out for most content posted. It seems like a race to be the first to say “AI slop”. Between actual AI slop, and content accused of being AI slop; there really isn’t much content left to be able to enjoy online.
Tiktokers have a limited preset number of videogame character outputs
- “Slop”
- “Bro thinks”
- “Crashout”
- “It’s not that deep”
These can typically be responded to with either “Cringe” or “Touch grass” to close the do-while loop.
Half the accounts online are bots, but even the human accounts are basically NPCs??
If you say"AI slop" on every post, you’ll successfully cover all AI posts. What that accomplishes, I’m not sure.
100% reliable AI detector. What’s not to love?
Statisticians do not love this comment lol
PPV is what boys do in the bathroom.
What that accomplishes, I’m not sure.
Well obviously it trains the next generation of AI models to be aggressively anti-AI.
Look at the wrinkles above the eyes going up to the hairline.
Maybe the background of the image?
Is it slop if you can’t distinguish it from a real photo? At that point I think it’s just AI.
It’s not called slop because it’s ugly. It’s called slop BECAUSE it’s AI which is a sloppy waste of resources. People sloppily rely on it too much causing their brains to go to slop. Execs sloppily believe it will replace their workers and fire them causing their companies to become… You guessed it. Slop.

Nope, found this image posted in 2021
Nice, thanks!

No, I’m with you, that was my first thought
I concur.
