I'm putting way to much thought in this, but I am seeing a payphone and no camera, but I'm also seeing an anatomically correct hand and a properly mirrored Champion logo.
Don't think too hard. Just enjoy this smug motherfucker KNOWING he has the shot and the joke.
Ha if you’re hinting at AI this is an elder millennial meme that’s been around for a while.
As an elder millennial myself though, gotta love it. Assuming phones are a thing when my kids are older will def bust this out in 5-10yrs
The smartphone /w camera is in their right hand, being blocked from view by the white frame of the mirror.
Hell this meme is old enough that they probably used a point and shoot to take the photo instead of a smart phone.
But if it was that old, they wouldn't have known that future phones would be able to take pictures. Therefore they wouldn't have made the joke in the first place.
True hadn't thought about that. You're probably right but there was a significant overlap between the release of the iPhone and when people stopped using small digital cameras. Plus mirror selfies with flip phones was a thing.
Yeah, I'm just appreciating the artistry in setting up a shot like this for a domb visual gag. This would have taken actual effort, bravo
Smartphone in his right Hand. Thats why the angle is a bit of.
could also be a picture of them behind a mirror frame being photographed by someone else. photo was mirrored in post-processing.
