Quagmire’s N key here, the joke is that the person looking at the supposed image would see fries if they are a fatass, we are seeing the fries in the image, it is calling us fatasses

Quagmire’s N key out

It’s not even a joke. It’s so a million people comment on the post, because everyone wants to say “those ARE fries”. Negative attention is still attention.

The joke is that the meme calls you fat through self-awareness. (I love it that nearly no one got it)
