Will someone explain this one?

[–] [email protected] 30 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Yeah, the commenter considers himself a legend, but he doesn't get the joke in the image. It's funny because his comment is unexpected as a response to the original poster's caption.

yes, that's clear, but who the hell are those people, what is the context, why is this in any way relatable to a man holding a trophy next to the woman holding a trophy, did he come in second, is that the gag, we don't know these people

Winner of UEFA player of the year (football award). Man- Erling Haaland Woman- Aitana Bonmat

What you're supposed to understand idk. But I'd assume it's a sex joke, it's always a sex joke. Or maybe there's not supposed to be anything to understand in which case 'only legends will understand' followed by noone understanding would imply the reader not being a legend and hence a roast.

But thats just a guess.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

It’s a good a guess as any. Which makes you…a legend.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

My thoughts exactly

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Thank you I am glad it's clear

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Thank you for that.

... So does anyone know what is the context for the original caption?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It popped up as an advertised facebook post, and I thought that guy's comment was funny. The post itself, I have no idea what to take from it

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

So you screenshotted an ad, and posted it for free?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Basically, yeah, i was pretty high when I did it

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

Don't worry, you can still be a legend if you don't understand this. But if you do you're definitely a legend

You absolute legend.

Are they winning some kind of Best Midsection Award?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Only special snowflakes…

And the best torso award goes to...

That makes sense. When I think “football,” the anatomical part that first comes to mind is “torso.”

Maybe all of the good representations of feet and balls were already taken.

cheers for that but that only makes this even more confusing, in no part of that story is that dude calling himself a legend, what in the blue hell is happening right now, it feels as if i'm taking crazy pills. is this all one elaborate troll to mock the olds? I mean the chick won the freaking world cup, the dude only won the champions league. i still don't get it.

They actually both won the treble with their club teams his season. She just won the WC on top of that.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I think that's the whole joke, no one will get it.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I don't understand, have you heard of me?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Well, this just confirms what I knew all along: I'm nobody.

Oooh Adebayo Meadows is legendary
